Didier Deschamps will experience two final matches at the head of the France team. Qualified for the semi-finals of the World Cup after the victory against Morocco (2-0) on Thursday evening, the coach will at best play the final, at worst the small final, whatever the result of the match against Spain or Belgium. After that, he will give up the apron he has worn since 2012 to leave it to his former partner at Juventus and the French team, Zinedine Zidane. It is the former number 10 who should take over, even if nothing has yet been made official.
The mission does not look easy, because going after Deschamps turns out to be a little poisoned gift, warns Thierry Henry. “ It’s going to be very difficult for us to replaceassured the other 1998 world champion on FOX Sports. We often heard that he was luckyhe continues about Didier Deschamps. No, no! It has nothing to do with luck. The reward is in the risk. He often took risks, but calculated ones. Because he is far from stupid. Trust me he has a big brain », indicated the former top scorer of the Blues, recalling in passing that DD was “ the first in almost everything France has won “. Zidane will hear the message.
