The Zinédine Zidane era at the helm of the France team began these days, with a record of three victories and a rather convincing draw in the Nations League. Players and observers agree for the moment to praise the game intentions displayed, despite performances which may have lacked consistency. And Didier Deschamps has ringing ears.
Like Kylian Mbappé or Adrien Rabiot, some people have recently expressed criticism or doubts about the Deschamps method. A credo which has nevertheless borne fruit in the past, notably with a second star pinned on the tricolor jersey in 2018. Also Christophe Dugarry is indignant this Thursday at the ingratitude of certain Blues.
“We had to bring her back first!” »
“ These players who express themselves, it was necessary to do so against Argentina where for 80 minutes we did not see the ball
(during the 2022 World Cup final, editor’s note), says the 1998 world champion. It was the same thing at the last Euro against Spain (in the semi-final, editor’s note) where we saw that we were less strong than them. If you complain that the game plan was not good, you had to complain about it beforehand, go see the coach and explain to him what is happening. We had to express ourselves first!

Himself sometimes critical of the former coach and his choices, Christophe Dugarry insists: “ We didn’t say much about the quality of the game, they explained to us: “But we win, we don’t care about the quality of the game! » Now that they are speaking, it’s too late. We had to bring her back first! The humiliation against Argentina or the matches against Spain against whom we were bogus, you players, you are responsible in the same way as Deschamps », concludes the former striker.
