In a statement released to Agence France Presse, the former boss of Guingamp thus regretted clumsy remarks that created a misunderstanding then returning to his statements about the 1998 world champion. I granted an RMC interview that I should not have given because he was looking for controversy by opposing Didier (Deschamps) Zindine Zidane, two monuments of French football. (…) Zindine Zidane knows the immense esteem that I have for him, like all the French.I would like to apologize for these remarks which absolutely do not reflect my thoughts, nor my consideration for the player he was and the coach he has become.said Le Grat.
A simply essential intervention after the controversy aroused by its first outing.
