A former player of Didier Deschamps considered that the whistles he received on Monday evening were deserved.
Didier Deschamps was not entirely satisfied with the evening that saw his French team get the better of Belgium in the Nations League (2-0). Even if he assured that it did not bother him, he must not have appreciated the whistles directed at him from the Groupama Stadium.
Speaking to TF1 just after the match, DD declared that people “are free to express their discontent”, claiming that it “did not affect him”.
“Deschamps has had his time in Blue”
But what does he think of those among his former protégés who encourage this kind of demonstration against him. This was notably the case this Tuesday of Jérôme Rothen, one of his executives during the Monaco period.
“Whistling has always been part of football. Deschamps must have been affected, but it mainly shows a growing discontent. I think he has had his day in the French team,” said the former footballer on RMC Sport.
While criticizing Deschamps, Rothen still recognizes the national coach’s merit in the last meeting.
“Deschamps gave playing time to certain players because he had no choice. He removed those who upset him, those who did not want to make an effort: Griezmann, Mbappé. They made mistakes in terms of state of mind and he does not accept it”
