The matches that will be missing with PSG
Paris Saint-Germain was accused of manipulation, the former international Christophe Dugarry who strongly criticized the club's reaction following the injury of Ousmane Dembélé.

The former striker of the French team and winner of the 1998 World Cup defeated his former captain and current national coach, Didier Deschamps, in the context of the conflict between PSG and the French Football Federation (FFF). PSG expressed its disappointment after the injuries of its players Dembélé and desired Goué, rejecting the fault on Deschamps and its staff. On the contrary, Dugarry believes that it is PSG that did not manage the playing time of these two players.

Furious PSG against the FFF after the injuries of Dembélé and Goué

France's 2-0 victory against Ukraine cost dearly: Dembélé was injured in the hamstrings only 30 minutes after entering the second period, while Goué suffered from a calf injury. The favorite for the Ballon d'Or should be absent for six weeks, while Goué will be absent for about four weeks.

Dugarry is put on the side of the coach of the French team, Didier Deschamps

According to journalist Fabrice Hawkins, PSG was furious with the injuries of Dembélé and Goué, which the holder of the Champions League qualified as “serious and avoidable”. The Ligue 1 club accused the French team of having ignored its warnings concerning the health of the winger, according to the team. At a pre-match press conference this weekend, Deschamps approached the situation and tried to appease the chaos that was driving behind the scenes.

Asked about RMC Sport with former player Jérôme Rothen, Dugarry said: “I support the federation and Didier Deschamps 100 %.

We know that Dembélé has been fragile for several years. Now that he is injured, it's just a bad luck. »»

“The manipulation that PSG is trying to implement is scandalous; It is a lack of respect for the national team and Didier Deschamps. PSG is solely responsible for the work overload of Dembélé. »»

“” I understand the disappointment of PSG, but the national team comes first. The coach chooses players whatever happens. (PSG) already has his nose at the LFP, he also wants to have it at the FFF and decide what will happen to the Federation? When I see President Nasser (Al-Khelaïfi) alongside Gianni Infantino, explaining to us that the Club World Cup is a good thing … “

France hopes to win its second victory over two during the current international break, before receiving Iceland at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday.
