Is Didier Deschamps the victim of a media campaign aimed at accelerating the arrival of Zinedine Zidane on the Blues bench? Pascal Dupras thinks so.
Since becoming the coach of the France team, Didier Deschamps has been on the front line whenever his team does not satisfy observers. World champion in 2018 with his men, the former midfielder has been the target of criticism for several months. He is notably criticized for preferring winning to the beautiful game. In fact, the public is regularly bored and if all goes well when France wins, the defeats cause a little annoyance and certain observers do not hesitate to criticize him. Many would also like to see him hand over to a certain Zinedine Zidane, and this has not escaped Pascal Dupraz.
The consultant of RMC has his own ideas about the smear campaigns of which he felt that Didier Deschamps was regularly the target. He said it this Sunday: “The disenchantment is quite simply lobbying, because everyone dreams of Zidane being the coach of the France team. The disenchantment starts from there. That is to say, we beat Deschamps with all our might, we say that the French team is boring every time. » And Pascal Dupraz takes a break from the game proposed by the Blues: “Boring, but often winning. And boring, not so much if you want to observe Football in its broad sense. »
Mbappé, calm will return according to Dupraz
For the former coach of AS Saint-Etienne, Didier Deschamps does not deserve the reprimands addressed to him by some, given what is happening in general. “Football is a lot of strategy, everywhere, even Manchester City, we get bored sometimes. So it must be said that we are lobbying. » But Pascal Dupraz did not stop there and had a few words regarding Kylian Mbappé. “It must also be said that Mbappé tires us, he tires everyone. » The recent soap opera featuring the French captain officially absent due to injury, but seen on a nocturnal vacation while his friends were playing in a League of Nations match against Israel, has been widely commented on.
However, the consultant predicted a more serene future for the Real Madrid striker. “Mbappé, as he is, is extremely talented, he will soon finish tiring and everyone will be enthusiastic. Just wait until 2025 and the draw for the 2026 World Cup, the qualifiers, and then we’ll talk about it again. There we see children’s matches. »
