Selected 78 times by Didier Deschamps, Moussa Sissoko is closely linked to the history of the coach on the bench of the France team. Although he has lost his subscription for Clairefontaine since 2021, the 2016 vice-European champion has excellent memories of the Bayonne technician. In an interview given to Parisian this Saturday, on the sidelines of the meeting between Nantes and PSG, the French midfielder repeated that DD was one of his best meetings in the field.
“Didier Deschamps? A very great gentleman. His career as a player already commands admiration. Having become a coach, he maintained this level of excellence. He took the reins of the selection at a difficult time. He led her to the supreme title in 2018. Hats off! More than a decade at the head of the Blues, unheard of in France. It classifies you as someone, he insisted. He excels at managing a group. He is one of my best encounters in football. He trusted me. He doesn’t listen to what can be said right or left about a player. The famous rumors. He has his convictions and sticks to them. Sometimes my presence in his lists was greeted with some skepticism from the outside. He knew why he was calling me. He told me not to take myself for someone else and to bring my qualities to the collective. I send a big thank you to the man and the coach. »
