Noel Le Graet issued a statement denying any contact with Zinedine Zidane
How was everything?
It didn’t take long for Les Bleus to get back into the turmoil. Just hours after Deschamps’ renewal was announced, the President of the French Federation issued a statement denying any contact with Zinedine Zidane. Mbappe responded to these statements on social media.
What did Le Graet say about Zinedine Zidane?
The President of the French Federation stated that Zinedine Zidane has always been under the radar, there is no need to tell stories. According to Noel Le Graet, Zinedine Zidane had many supporters, some waiting for Didier Deschamps’ departure. “But who can seriously criticize Didier? Nobody can,” he said.
They can always miss a game, but Noel was with him for 10 years, there weren’t many problems. Talk of his departure always generates clicks. Thus, Didier Deschamps put to rest the rumors about the possible arrival of the former Real Madrid coach at Les Bleus.
But Deschamps not only denied Zidane’s possible arrival, but went so far as to claim he wouldn’t take a call from Zinedine. Noel Le Graet said that if Zinedine had tried to contact him no, he would not have picked up the phone. “Of course not, I wouldn’t even pick up the phone. Tell him to find another club? Make a special program for him to find a club or national team?” Noel said.
Reply from Kylian Mbappe
These words did not fit well with Kylian, who responded with an empathic message on his social networks that Zinedine is France, no disrespect to the legend. What another train wreck between the president of the Federation and the star of French football.
