Journalist
Passionate about sport, cinema and television (on screen as well as behind) since his childhood, Bernard has been a journalist for 10 Sport since 2018. More skilful with the keyboard in hand than with the ball on his feet, he decides to mainly cover a beloved sport, criticized and hated at the same time (football) and a sport that is not one (wrestling).
While Didier Deschamps is no longer unanimous at the head of the France team, the name of Zinedine Zidane keeps coming up in the event of the departure of the current coach. The relationship between the two men is the subject of numerous rumors, but according to a journalist from Le Parisien, there is no uneasiness.
Untouchable just a few months ago, Didier Deschamps saw his status weaken in French teamthe fault of a minimalist game and a Euro 2024 very poor in emotions despite a place in the semi-final. Enough to relaunch the debates concerning a return of Zinedine Zidane among the Bluesthis time with the coach’s costume. A nightmare scenario in the eyes of Deschamps if we believe Daniel Riolo. « He really doesn’t want Zidane to take the French team because he knows that all people want that. He is against this ideaassured the journalist of RMC after elimination against Spain to the Euro. Psychologically, this man is affected. Affected by the fact that since the start of his career, he has not been the beauty of the story. He’s the ugly one in the story. And he experiences it very badly. It’s a scar since he was 20, since Michel Platini said of him that he was a water carrier when he started for the French team. “. Not all observers are of this opinion.
“Deschamps does not live with the sword of Damocles Zidane above his head”
Questioned by an Internet user on the site of Parisian, Harold Marchetti removes any discomfort between Zinedine Zidane and the current coach. “ Don’t pay attention to all these rumors.replies the journalist. Didier Deschamps does his job as best as possible and it is difficult to question his record in twelve years. He has always had the freedom to choose his future. He left Juventus after bringing it back to Serie A. In Marseille in 3 years he brought home 6 trophies between 2009 and 2012 and then preferred to leave. So he does not cling to his position, does not live with the sword of Damocles Zidane above his head. »
“They are not intimates but they have mutual respect for each other”
« He still thinks he can achieve a major world championship in 2026 with a partially regenerated generation. Some may aspire to see Zizou succeed him. This can also be understood, given his aura and his results on the Real bench. But let’s never forget the state of the French team in 2010 after the Knysna fiasco. We made the whole world laugh. Since then, with Deschamps, France has sewn a second star on its jersey, it was in the World Cup final in 2022. You must not have a short memory. We have too often tried to pit the two 1998 world champions against each other. They are not close friends but they have mutual respect for each other. », says Harold Marchetti.
