By refusing to name the strongest player with whom he played during his career, Didier Deschamps sparked a new controversy.
Didier Deschamps is going through a complicated period to say the least. However, in terms of results, the Blues were able to turn things around after their big failure at the Parc des Princes against Italy. In October, the French team achieved two convincing away successes against Israel and Belgium. And this despite the absence of Kylian Mbappé. An absence at the origin of a very lively controversy.
The non-selection of the Bondynois for the next two matches against Israel and Italy has also sparked violent reactions and the French coach finds himself once again on the front line. Nothing seems spared for the former midfielder. This is evidenced by the criticisms made to the Bayonnais for not wanting to answer a question from Téléfoot.
Asked to reveal the identity of the best player with whom he had played during his career, Didier Deschamps, teammate of Zinedine Zidane at the Blues and at Juventus, did not want to respond. A silence which did not surprise Christophe Dugarry. “He won't say Zizou because he won't highlight it. He will never try”he thundered, adding: « He's been here for 12 years, he'll never make an assist. He will never say good things about a possible competitor. »
“Didier Deschamps is complex”
And this inability of Didier Deschamps to highlight ZZ or any other teammate does not surprise Daniel Riolo either. “All his life, he will drag on having been a water carrier, that we do not recognize that the idol is Zidane, it is Platini, it is the beautiful football players and that even if he has the best track record in French football, he is the man of results, he will always be behind, he said. And that's a scar. Deschamps is a self-conscious person, a guy who has a scar that he will never erase. »
“He had as coach Platini and as teammate Zidane, the two legends of French football. He, who has the best track record, will always be behind. He will never accept that. His ego can’t stand it”he added, adding:
“He always ended up getting confused with people. »
