Since the layup of the president of the French Football Federation Nol Le Grat on Zindine Zidane, the coach of the France team Didier Deschamps has not spoken. Already deplored by Christophe Dugarry on Monday, the French technician’s silence was regretted by another 1998 veteran, Emmanuel Petit, on Tuesday.
Didier Deschamps did not speak on Nol Le Grat.
Do I understand Deschamps’ silence? No. He was our captain in 1998, even if he has problems with me, even if we are angry and we don’t talk to each other anymore, he has no problem with the others from 1998. He is invited to all the meals, meetings, everything. It is true that he does not come. We have the impression that he has chosen his side a bit, it’s the fd, it’s its president, it’s his job.
Far from being the great friend of Didier Deschamps, Christophe Dugarry deplored, Monday on RMC, the silence of the coach of the France team after the controversial exit of the president of the French Football Federation Nol Le Grat on Zindine Zidane. And the members of France 98 actually have trouble with the attitude of the tricolor technician.
Little can’t understand
Captain of the Blues during the first French world title and former partner of Zidane, Deschamps thus arouses the misunderstanding of another of his ex-teammates: Emmanuel Petit. His silence? Of course that shocks me. I can understand his closeness because he forms a pair with him (Le Grat, editor’s note). I can understand from a professional point of view that he supports his president. But, hey, we won the World Cup together. We were the first to win the World Cup and he was our captain. When I see that he does not speak… If only just a tweet saying that he dissociates himself from Le Grat’s remarks which belong only to himblew the consultant on RMC radio on Tuesday.
While Le Grat is unanimous against him, Deschamps still finds himself in a delicate position: it is difficult for him to publicly criticize his own boss, especially since the two men have had a strong relationship for many years. An understandable argument for Petit, but the ex-midfielder recalled the link of the native of Bayonne with those of 98. Didier is our representative, our coach and above all a former team-mate. We are friends too. It’s a deafening silence like the Comex. (…) Maybe his rivalry with Zizou comes into play. I don’t know. There are things that escape me. I don’t understand. (…) I know that if I had been coach in his place, I would have made a media outing saying that it was only the words of Le Grat. I would have simply disengagedhe assured.
Deschamps walked away from 98
However, it must all the same be specified that Deschamps, because of tensions with some, has distanced himself in recent years from the members of 1998. I have so many memories, hugs and others, with Didier in 1998. There are a lot of things that exploded in midair. I believe that this story perfectly reflects what is happening between certain players within France 98he regretted.
Compared to what we all lived together and that we still live together… I remind all the same that at the end of January all of France 98 will meet as we do every year. Didier Deschamps no longer comes and I don’t know why. Maybe he has problems with some players but I don’t want to get into that, finished Petit. A case that could leave traces on several levels…
