Christophe Dugarry and Didier Deschamps is the story of an animosity that has been going on for years.
“We don't appreciate ourselves and we will never appreciate ourselves”used to say the RMC consultant. Each decision of the coach, each style of play, each communication had screened and often criticized with virulence. So when we learned that the 98 world champion had spoke about the latest conflict, we expected a new charge.
“I am 100% behind the federation and Didier Deschamps”
The surprise was total. On the Ousmane Dembélé affair, injured in the Dam of PSG, Dugarry made a 180 degree turn. “I am 100% behind the federation and Didier Deschamps on that”he hammered, before attacking the capital's club directly. For him, the injury is responsible for the PSG, which has brought up a demential number of games to his player. “The only ones who are responsible for the overload of work of Dembélé are Paris Saint-Germain! “,
he said.
He swept the Parisian arguments with a back of hand, recalling a simple and often forgotten truth: “The French team is above all”. For him, the
“Manipulation” PSG is
“Scandalous” And
“Disrespectful”. Words of rare violence, which sound like a declaration of unconditional support for the one he has spent years criticizing.
A temporary truce?
Is this jacket reversal the sign of reconciliation? Probably not. The blurring between the two men is too deep, too old. But it shows one thing: when it comes to defending the French team institution, even the greatest enemies can ally. Dugarry, as a good soldier of 98, knows that the blue jersey comes before the quarrels of people.
The fact remains that this outing is an event. Hearing Christophe Dugarry defending Didier Deschamps with such fervor is something that we never thought of seeing. This is proof that in football, alliances are made and break up according to circumstances. And that even after years of conflict, respect for the jersey can still, for a moment, prevail over everything else.
