While statements from the 98 champions have been pouring in since the controversial remarks made by Noël Le Graët against Zinédine Zidane, Lionel Charbonnier took the floor to try to smother the fire. Guest on the show Rothen s’enflamme on RMCthe former porter of the Blues (1 selection) assured that no animosity existed between Didier Deschamps and any other world champion.
“I didn’t hear any sensational statement between players from 1998. Dugarry and Deschamps? Yes, but they talked to each other. Zidane and Deschamps? I would like to put things in context. France 98 was born out of very smart players, individually and collectively. Everyone had their ego in 1998 but collective intelligence took over. France 98 gradually withered, some retired more or less quickly, some became coaches, other agents… Some took different currents. But all of them remain my friends.he said before adding: “Why is Deschamps not in the common WhatsApp of France 98? I don’t have to explain it. Manu (Petit), he has another sensitivity. The 1998 world champions should also meet at a dinner in the weeks to come. To see how many will answer the call.
