Didier Deschamps responds frankly to critics!

Exclusive but eventually shared. Several regional dailies were treated to an interview with Didier Deschamps, the first since the end of the World Cup and the title of champion won against Croatia (4-2). Ouest-France Provence Nice-Matin and Le Parisien each had access to the words of the coach, who was able to deliver his vision of the French course. But before we return to it later, let's look at how he has experienced the many pre-World Critics. Because he was not spared. First on the composition of his list of 23 where the case Karim Benzema was again widely commented, then on the quality of play proposed by the team of France.

In the columns of Parisien Deschamps came back on these criticisms. "I know they were there. I think there was a lot more during the first part of the tournament. I did not want to know them. Now, it's funny. Over time, I received a lot of messages, with many back pedaling. I am not here to settle accounts. I answer them nicely. I know sincere people. There is just one white line not to cross. If we cross it, there is no return possible for me " he explains

Deschamps curry Dugarry

And obviously, there is one who crossed it to his eyes. This is Christophe Dugarry, former partner of Deschamps team France and now consultant on RMC. It is on this radio that the former striker has often scratched the national coach. And that does not happen. "Dugarry dares to say that I take France hostage. This is beyond comprehension. He says what he wants, he has his radio show. We have lived things together so I know that in terms of state of mind, sincerely, I have seen much, much better. But hey, it does not matter. I'm almost 50 years old and I'm not pretending anymore. I see with great pleasure the majority of players. With Lolo (White), we had lunch together, with our wives, we discuss. I see Lilian, Marcel, Liza, Frank (Leboeuf), Diodio (Diomede) … If we had to meet with Duga, it would not even be good, good evening. Each one his way, each his way. It's clear.

So that's Dugarry dressed for the next winter. Aside from Dugarry, Deschamps did not want to count. "Throughout the competition, I did not know (what he was saying about him, ed) and I did not want to know. In total immersion, it was very good like that. But it's very funny to read all this after (laughs)! " assures DD in the columns of Ouest-France . Those who have expressed their doubts before the competition will be happy!
