Didier Deschamps’ French team no longer makes its supporters dream and, according to Pascal Dupraz, it is because everyone is impatiently awaiting the arrival of Zinédine Zidane at the head of the Blues after the 2026 World Cup.
With his somewhat eccentric analyses, Pascal Dupraz makes an excellent speaker in The Big Mouths of sport
on RMC. The 62-year-old coach believed last month that Didier Deschamps, whom he really likes, should resign from his post as coach of the French team in order to lead Germany, Brazil or Real Madrid. Downright. This time, the former coach of Evian TV and Toulouse tries to explain the (justified) criticism of the Blues. Without mentioning the sad football offered for many months and in particular at Euro 2024 in Germany.
Dupraz has another explanation: “the disenchantment is lobbying because everyone dreams, me first and foremost, that Zidane is the coach of the France team. That’s where the disenchantment comes from. That is to say, we beat Deschamps with all our might, we say that the French team is boring every time, but often winning, and not that much. If we want to look at football in its broad sense. Football is a lot of strategy, everywhere, even Manchester City, we get into trouble sometimes. So it must be said that we are lobbying”.
Zidane for 2026 and nothing else
Pascal Dupraz is probably on the wrong track. If “Zizou” was greatly awaited by all of France in the run-up to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the extension of “La Dèche” until the 2026 World Cup simply postponed the dreamed arrival of the legend of French football. Since then, no one has really called for the dismissal of Deschamps and the arrival of Zidane, still without a position.
The former Canal+ consultant concludes on the Kylian Mbappé case and warns: “It must also be said that Mbappé tires us, he tires everyone. But he is extremely talented, he will soon finish tiring us out. Wait until 2025 and the playoff draw for 2026 and we’ll talk about it again”.
