French team: Dugarry cuts the Blues who criticize Didier Deschamps

Pundit Christophe Dugarry has criticized French national team players who spoke out against former manager Didier Deschamps. Speaking on the RMC show Rothen s'enflamme, the 1998 World Cup winner called out members of the squad who expressed a preference for the style of play under new manager Zinedine Zidane, arguing that targeting Deschamps after his departure was opportunistic.

Dugarry stated that players should have voiced their tactical concerns directly to Deschamps during major tournaments, citing struggles against Argentina in the 2022 World Cup final and Spain at Euro 2024. He emphasized that the players share equal responsibility with the former manager for past shortcomings.
