The comments made by Noël Le Graët about Zinedine Zidane would only reflect the thoughts of Didier Deschamps about his former teammate with the Blues.
The memory of the World Cup probably already seems far away for Didier Deschamps. Consequence of the storm that has raged around the tricolor coach since Saturday and the announcement of his extension until June 2026. The duration of the new contract of the native of Bayonne has indeed provoked strong reactions. It was nevertheless a small thing compared to the controversy caused by the declarations of Noël Le Graët, Sunday evening, on Zinedine Zidane.
And if Noël Le Graët is obviously at the heart of the turmoil, the strong ties which unite Didier Deschamps to the president of the FFF are worth to the 1998 world champion to be splashed. “If Le Graët puts a potato in Zidane, it’s to protect Deschamps, has also launched the journalist of Release Grégory Schneider at the microphone of Europe 1. It is still because he has protected Deschamps for ten years that we are there. So the least Deschamps can do is not to press on Le Graët’s head. »
Deschamps and Le Graët, it’s the same person
“Deschamps and Le Graët, it’s the same person”, he added, believing that what Noël Le Graët says, Didier Deschamps thinks. ” It’s been eight or nine years since the main work of Noël Le Graët has been to protect Deschamps and therefore to put Zidane ten meters away. They are linked. »
These accusations are reminiscent of those of Christope Dugarry against his former teammate with the Blues. “Even if we are angry, he has no problem with the others from 1998. He is invited to all the meals, to the meetings. It is true that he does not come. We have the impression that he has chosen his camp a little, it is the federation, it is his job, ” has indeed entrusted the Bordelais about the coach.
