Former teammates in the French team, Didier Deschamps and Bixente Lizarazu engaged in a fun little pass of arms on Sunday in “Téléfoot”.
The French team ends its 2024 year on Sunday evening with a final match to be played against Italy (8:45 p.m.) and counting for the group stage of the Nations League. Already qualified for the knockout phase, the Blues will seek to win in order to take their revenge on a National who went to beat them on September 6 at the Stade de France (1-3). A final match which, like the previous ones since October on the French side, will be played without Kylian Mbappé. A subject addressed once again by Didier Deschamps against Bixente Lizarazu.
As part of the Sunday show
“Telefoot”the coach was questioned about his captain whom he did not wish to be called up in November, as was already the case during the October gathering. Facing Bixente Lizarazu, “DD” addressed Mbappé’s physical and psychological decline. The opportunity for the two 1998 world champions to have a little exchange against a backdrop of (gentle) bickering. While “Liza” explained that a footballer, “it’s not a machine”Didier Deschamps finished the sentence for him. Amused, Bixente Lizarazu then told him: “I’ll let you continue.” See, you agree with me. »
Deschamps ready to tell his friend everything
And the coach noted the remark: “I often agree with you, but sometimes you don’t have the right information…” The two men then started laughing, before Lizarazu retorted: “But it depends, if you give me the right information. » Deschamps’ response:
“Ask them from me, I’ll give them to you.” Or at worst I keep silent if I don’t want to answer. » Lizarazu Relaunch: “It depends. You can tell me what you want to tell me. » And “DD” concludes: “ No, not yours”. Way of saying that he will always say everything, or almost everything, to his former friend from the France team.
In the meantime, the Blues will have to do infinitely better than what they showed on Thursday against Israel (0-0). Didier Deschamps clearly said and repeated on TF1 that he was aiming for victory, and even if possible first place in the group. To do this, it will be necessary to beat the Italians by at least two goals.
