Never stingy with clear and sharp opinion, Christophe Dugarry is one of the most severe observers of the media landscape when it comes to judging the performance of the French team led by Didier Deschamps. And the reversing scenario of the quarterfinals of the League of Nations against Croatia was not to convince him.
“” I sincerely hope that these two matches will serve as a click in the head of Deschamps and his assistants. There are fed up! There is enough that this team only starts to play when it is at the foot of the walldixit the former Blues striker this Monday on RMC. I am fed up. I do not forget that I may have seen one of the worst matches against Croatia. I said to myself: “Bug, twelve years old with Deschamps to arrive in front of that”. It was an absolute purge! »»
In the eyes of Christophe Dugarry, the observation is final: ”
In addition to being just a jet team, I think she has shown in recent years that it has not worked, this way of doing things. Because this team no longer won major competitions. It takes a more ambitious game, this team must impose things, it must be conquering and it must change software. Quite simply. »»
“Football from another time” according to Dugarry
A great friend of a Zinedine Zidane expected to take over at the head of the tricolor selection, this former teammate of Didier Deschamps at the Blues continues: ” I hope these two matches have shown Deschamps what to do and especially what he should no longer do. I am annoyed, there are fun of this idea of football that technical and creative players are not able to run. »»
And Christophe Dugarry to conclude, still as severe: ”
After a while it is necessary to evolve but I have the impression that Deschamps plays us a football from another time, which no longer exists. You have to stop, you have to have another vision, you have to be ambitious, you have to scare the opponent, you have to stop reacting and be in action. (…) Put games, put offensive, start creativity. Let's stop playing like what we saw in Croatia, it was the worst in the worst of football!
