The French coach, Didier Deschamps, responded head-to-head to the negative remarks of his former teammate.
Now a consultant for specialized media after having been a player for a long time, Christophe Dugarry never fails to attack Didier Deschamps for his style. Even when the French team reached the final of a World Cup, he allowed himself to criticize its philosophy and also regret that he was not held accountable for the mistakes he had made.
Due to his outspokenness, Dugarry irritated his former teammate in Blue. And today, the two men no longer speak to each other. The former Bordeaux striker also admitted that during the various events to which they are both invited – such as Variety matches – they no longer even say hello to each other.
Deschamps prefers to win rather than please
If he avoids meeting Dugarry, Deschamps does not hesitate to respond to him via the press. This is how, during an interview with Le Parisien, he took it upon himself to remind him of what matters above all in football:
“Above all, don’t talk to me about an encouraging defeat. A defeat is a defeat. At the moment, we can say “they played well”, “they deserved”. But, on arrival, what do we remember? That it’s lost. This does not mean that we must give up the rest. But the job requires it. Have you ever seen coaches who don’t win and are praised because their team plays well? »
You will have understood, Deschamps brandishes his track record to defend himself. And from that side, we must recognize that it is unassailable. Whether as a player or as a coach, he has one of the best calling cards in French football.
Knowing Dugarry, he’s certainly not going to stop there. He will also have an ideal platform to retort to his ex captain since he is invited to comment on Euro matches on the M6 channel. There is no doubt that he will bring out the sulphate again if the Blues do not offer attractive content during the tournament.
