Didier Deschamps and Christophe Dugarry will probably not go on vacation together but on this occasion, the consultant of RMC defended the former coach. He could not bear to hear during this international break certain players of the France team explaining that they prefer the current game under Zinedine Zidane. According to him, these are easy criticisms since Deschamps left his post. Yet they had plenty of opportunities to tell him.
“These players who express themselves, we had to do it against Argentina (in the final of the 2022 World Cup) where for 80 minutes we did not see the ball. It was the same thing at the last Euro against Spain (in the semi-final of Euro 2024) 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», blurted out the 1998 world champion in the show Rothen ignites. “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’re talking, it’s too late. We had to bring her back first! The humiliation against Argentina or the two matches against Spain against whom we were bogus, you the players, you are the ones responsible in the same way as Deschamps.»
