Between Raymond Domenech and Zinédine Zidane, the agreement never really existed. Since the 2006 World Cup, where tensions were already palpable, the two men have continued to get spikes. Recently, Domenech had already considered that Thierry Henry was just as legitimate as Zidane to lead the French team. And this Wednesday, on the set of the Greg's team, the former coach did this, taking advantage of a debate to slide a tackle to the former Merneur des Blues.
A rivalry that never goes out
But this time, it is not on his coach skills that Domenech targeted Zidane. The subject of the day focused on the reluctance of players to express themselves in front of the media, and the former boss of the Blues did not hesitate to take ZZ (in bad) example:
“In 2006, Zidane never passed in front of the press or in the mixed area.” A subtle way of recalling that even the largest stars can refuse to comply with the media exercise.
A generalized problem according to Domenech
Domenech was not limited to Zidane. For him, this lack of communication is a wider problem that affects all players: “Players have power. The problem is the players, not the clubs. They say to themselves that the explanations on the matches are not their thing. ”
The former coach also points to the lack of firmness of clubs: “It is a lack of authority and courage on the part of the leaders. They cannot get angry with their employees. ” According to him, only the mid -table teams really play the media game, while the biggest clubs let their stars avoid embarrassing questions.
A news debate for French football
This exit from Domenech comes when the Dazn broadcaster recently complained about the difficulty in obtaining players' interventions, which harms content for its subscribers. Domenech believes that this situation could be resolved by integrating specific clauses into players' contracts, forcing them to participate in media obligations.
Whether it is founded criticisms or a simple disguised settling of accounts, one thing is certain: Raymond Domenech has not finished remembering the good memory of Zinédine Zidane.
