If Zinédine Zidane maintains the image of an immaculate personality, the French football icon still has some detractors in the media landscape.
At the time of his splendor when he was still a player, Zidane did not maintain the best relations in the world with the journalist Pierre Ménès, closer to other French internationals like Thierry Henry or Robert Pirès.
Pierre Ménès.
Pierre Ménès’ opinion on who is considered the future coach of the France team has not really changed. On his YouTube channel, the former Canal + columnist made unflattering remarks about the technician.
“Zidane? You’re going to have the ball of all the internationals who are going to come and give him lips.”
“ All we know is that when Saint Zidane arrives at the head of the French team, everyone will inevitably and necessarily find everything wonderful. Everything will be changed…,
launched Pierre Ménès. You’re going to have the ball of all the internationals who are going to come and make lips to him, explaining to us what an exceptional player he was, and how what he did with Real Madrid, winning three Champions Leagues in a row, is a fabulous result. »
“ Obviously we are going to disrespect Deschamps and his career at this point. Now, I’m also pragmatic, I remember Zidane’s Real where it wasn’t always extraordinarily flamboyant in the game, and it relied a lot on an exceptional attack: Bale, Benzema, Ronaldo. It is not because Zidane will sit on the bench in place of Deschamps that the squad of the French team will change. I’m not sure he’s going to find us an unknown player who will appear out of nowhere. There will be an absolutely incredible state of grace, perhaps even a slightly indecent state of grace. », concluded Ménès.
