Clumsiness ? Precipitation? If concerning the recent (doubtful) declarations of Noël Le Graët, everyone has been wondering since Sunday evening, the entourage of Zinedine Zidane, he informed our colleagues of The Teamthat there will be no hot reaction.
Noël Le Graët had indeed let loose on the former French international in Bartoli Time on RMC :“Zidane in Brazil? I don’t care. He does what he wants, it’s none of my business. I’ve never met him. We never considered parting with Didier.”
The president of the FFF, well aware of having slipped up, as Kylian Mbappé reminded him in his own way, on his Twitter account, ended up apologizing on Monday January 9 via a press release written urgently. The latter recognizes “clumsy words that created a misunderstanding”. “I would like to apologize for these remarks which absolutely do not reflect my thoughts, nor my consideration for the player he was and the coach he has become”added the boss of French football.
“I gave an interview to RMC that I should not have given because he was looking for controversy by opposing Didier to Zinédine Zidane, two monuments of French football. (…) Zinédine Zidane knows the immense esteem that I have for him. door, like all the French”concluded the 81-year-old man.
