It is a very long interview granted Tuesday to
Figaro
and published this Thursday, in which Noël Le Graët sweeps away all his news, very busy, on the sporting and extra-sporting levels.
In the first area, the president of the FFF multiplies the praise for the France team at least quarter-finalist of the World Cup in Qatar.
Especially for Antoine Griezmann and especially Kylian Mbappé, "an exceptional guy", with whom relations have not always been easy in recent months.
But Le Graët is especially rave about his coach.
“My wish is that Didier stays,” says NLG.
“We have a clear objective: the semi-finals.
I always said that if he reached that level, the decision was his.
Before, we discuss.
“Even in the event of elimination against England in the quarter-finals on Saturday, DD could therefore remain, if we are to believe Le Graët.
“Who do you want to find better?
It is the president who speaks, not the friend, ”ignites the Breton leader.
And Zizou, the a priori ideal successor to Deschamps, in all this?
“I have never called Zidane in my life, contrary to what some people suggest.
That would have been incorrect of me.
No one around me called him for me anyway.
That people wanted to do it is possible, but it would be indelicate.
When you are lucky enough to have a Didier Deschamps, you don't knock on the next door, as long as he is in place.
