Beaten a year ago in the World Cup final, the Blues since has come a long way. Yet in the eyes of Christophe Dugarry, the chapter is far from closed.
If Fabien Galkié took a long time to react to the failure of the three -color XV in the quarter -finals of the Rugby World Cup, Didier Deschamps, he has never really analyzed the disillusionment of the Blues in the final of the 2022 Football World Cup, on the credit of Argentina. It is at least the feeling of Christophe Dugarry who, a year later, on the antenna of RMC, sum the national coach to provide answers to his many questions.
“” It was, after the final whistle and this lost final, I was like everyone else. I was like many French people, I was terribly sad but above all very angry. Disappointed by the content of the match that I had found quite poor or even pitiful in certain timesDixit the 1998 world champion and former teammate of Didier Deschamps in selection. While everyone told us that it was the most beautiful final of all time, I wanted us to talk about content and football. “”
Explanations due to supporters
For this, the former striker has drawn up a list of questions which, according to him, have never been asked to the Bayonnais technician. “” This is for example, for this World Cup final, explain to us why Mr. Deschamps chose this team composition and this organization in order to pose problems for Argentines. We could still ask him the question. Also ask him what was the weak point of the Argentines on which his team tried to insist? Why was his team so physically dominated by Argentines for 90 minutes? If he has regrets in his preparation of the match, on the preparation of the physical density or the mental aspect of a final? Ask him that he explains his changes during the match, who almost walked because there was not only negative … How were his players at halftime and what was his speech? Was there sick players since we said it was, and tell us which ones? Ask him if he has regrets or if he would have wanted to change something before or during the match? There are dozens of questions that should have been asked by a good journalist. But that has never been the case. “”
To conclude, Christophe Dugarry invokes the right of supporters and followers of the French team to find answers to these questions that feed disappointment and frustration. “” I think that Deschamps owes this analysis to enthusiasts and supporters of the France team. I think it would even be a mark of respect for French supporters who have experienced this World Cup with so much passion. Obviously, I am not an idiot and I do not think that a coach or a coach is forced to explain everything. But for a World Cup final as crazy as it was, I think it would have been a good thing. Recall that a coach is also an educator and a trainer. So sometimes explain or analyze things, it becomes a duty. I don’t think there is inexplicable. “”
