Hunt the natural, he returns to the gallop. A few days after having surprised everyone by exceptionally defending Didier Deschamps in the DembĂ©lĂ© affair against PSG, Christophe Dugarry has regained his habits. The former French international has returned the cover on RMC, in the program “Rothen ignites”, with statements that will not please the coach. Once again, “Duga” has not mince his words.
The former star of Marseille and Bordeaux attacked the tactical choices of Deschamps after the laborious victory against Iceland (2-1). “It is good to put 4 attackers but you have to succeed in making them play together with a coherent offensive animation. This may be one of the limits of Deschamps ”,
Dagarry dropped without detour. A direct criticism of the coach's animation capacities, doubled on the quality of opponents: “There are far too many gaps and these victories are mainly due to opposing weakness. »»
Dugarry against Deschamps, an endless soap opera
These new attacks are part of the continuity of a conflict that has been going on for years. Dugarry has never digested the style of play advocated by his former teammate in selection, multiplying scathing outings since 2016. “ Absolute purge “,” football none “: The vocabulary of ex-Bordeaux ex-attacker has never been tender with DD, even after significant successes.
This cold war between the two men goes far beyond the sporting framework. Their disputes go back to the time when they were players, Dugarry having confided that they would never like each other. “” With Didier, or you are with him or against ”, Had he summarized with his usual franchise. A personal fracture that has fueled an endless media soap opera for years.
The truce will not have lasted
The interlude support during the Dembélé affair was therefore only a parenthesis. Dugarry has regained his role as an opponent number one to the coach, this time pointing the faults in the offensive animation of the Blues. A criticism that affects the heart of the Deschamps system, often accused of favoring solidity to creativity. The RMC consultant seems decidedly unable to definitively turn the page with the one who was his teammate at the 1998 World Cup.
