According to Christophe Dugarry, the sluggish victory in Ireland (0-1) has once again shown the limits of Didier Deschamps’ game plan.
The day and the night. There are two wins, without conceding a goal each time, but the Blues did not show the same face at all against the Netherlands (4-0) and Ireland (1-0). And this irregularity has the gift of annoying Christophe Dugarry.
The RMC consultant appreciated the “big defensive solidarity” of the France team in Dublin. But it takes more to satisfy him. “Once I said that, the rest was very, very poor. Very poor offensively with a lot of technical waste and very little risk taking as well as very little offensive creativity.notes the former Bordelais.
“After the excellent performance against the Netherlands, we fell back into a form of complacency by playing at the pace of senators. It played ball. I’m sick of this football.”plagues Dugarry.
“We know their limits in Deschamps”
For the 1998 world champion, the thesis of the accident cannot work to defend the Blues in Ireland. Because this kind of content has already been offered in the past. “Matches won without offering much, we have already seen a lot, a lot under the Deschamps era”, recalls Dugarry, who took this opportunity to embark on a new diatribe against the coach.
“It’s the same thing every time. But I will be told that Deschamps was knowingly extended for four years, Dugarry gets carried away. We’ve had these kinds of matches for more than ten years and the decision-makers decided that it was more important to win the matches than to play them well. So we are on the same formula, on the same observation and on the same rendering. Well, there are no surprises. »
“You know DD as well as I do, concludes “Duga”. We know their limits in Deschamps. We know his enormous qualities, because there are some for sure. We know that his offensive capacities to create play and bring back offensive solutions: there are none! It was Jérôme Rothen’s coach, I was my teammate, it’s not in his genes. It’s not in his culture. »
