Dugarry defends Zidane on the Blues

The 1998 world champion spoke on RMC about the succession of Didier Deschamps, lining up, unsurprisingly, behind Zinédine Zidane, his friend.

When a debate about Zinédine Zidane arises, it is never very far away. A long-time friend of the legendary number 10 of the Blues, particularly after their years together within the Girondins de or the selection, Christophe Dugarry once again spoke about the future of his loved one on RMC Thursday evening. Expected to be obvious after the announced departure of Didier Deschamps in 2026 from the French team, “ZZ” remains discreet on this subject. He lets his former teammates speak for him and occupy the media field. Lizarazu, Pirès, Boghossian… All of them have spoken out in recent days.

« The problem with Zizou is that there is a surreal side to it and he makes things so easysays Dugarry. He won the Champions League three times in a row, no one could have imagined it! He was able to motivate a club as strong and political as Real Madrid. We think it’s easy, but what do you think? Do you think everything is easy for him? Do you think he’s afraid of not doing as well as Deschamps? But you don’t know him well. »
