Karim Djaziri, former agent of Karim Benzema, estimated that the tensions between Didier Deschamps and Zinédine Zidane date back to the 1998 World Cup. On Riolo Club, he stated that Deschamps had always harbored hostility towards Zidane and had publicly criticized him after the match against Saudi Arabia, reproaching him for thinking about fighting after his red card. Djaziri added that Deschamps had recently apologized, but he had waited 25 years, and he believed that an athlete should not take aim at a teammate in a press conference after a match. He also said that Zidane would probably not have welcomed Deschamps at his home. #Deschamps #Zidane #Football (translated)

On CBS Sports Golazo, he stated that Zidane prioritized possession and ball control more, with the intention of applying pressure, an approach he considered different from what had been previously observed. However, Henry clarified that this did not mean Didier Deschamps had failed. He added that Zidane's method had worked quite well since his arrival, despite only four matches, and it would be interesting to see how he would manage the return of Kylian Mbappé. #France #Zidane #Henry (translated)

THE MOHAMED SANHADJI CASE HAS CAUSED A REAL SHOCK within Didier Deschamps' former staff. Several members of the France team management say they are "shocked" and even feel "betrayed" after the revelations from L’Équipe. "We fell from the cupboard." The PDF of the investigation has circulated widely on WhatsApp among former players and staff members. Many believed until now that "Momo's" problems were mainly related to his relationship with Kylian Mbappé. Indicted for corruption, influence peddling, and fraud, the former security officer is now forbidden from contacting the football community. #Football #Bleus #Corruption (translated)

“ZIDANE HAS KEPT UP WITH FOOTBALL AND I HAD A DOUBT. I’m reassured. I thought he would surely offer us a ‘Deschamps version 2’. I was afraid of that. He is leaning more towards the principles of Luis Enrique, Kompany, Arteta.” #Foot #Zidane #Football (translated)

🚨 Ousmane Dembélé 🇫🇷 on the methods of Deschamps/Zidane: "Are there things that surprise me about the differences? A LITTLE BUT... WE WON'T SAY EVERYTHING 😆.

🚨🚨💣 BIG CASE SURROUNDING MOHAMED "MOMO" SANHADJI, head of security for the French national team for over 20 years. 🇫🇷😳 The investigation revealed by L'Équipe describes how this man, who has become extremely close to many stars of French football, allegedly used his connections to obtain loans, gifts, trips, and personal services. Among the disclosed elements 👇 💰 To buy a house for €440,000, Sanhadji is said to have asked for money from about fifteen players. €215,000 was ultimately loaned to him, notably: • Kylian Mbappé, through Fayza Lamari: €120,000 • Raphaël Varane: €20,000 • Sabri Lamouchi: €20,000 • Laurent Blanc: €20,000 • Yann M’Vila: €15,000 • Mattéo Guendouzi: €7,500 🤫 He allegedly asked several to keep these loans secret, even writing: "otherwise I’m dead." 🦷 Fayza Lamari also supposedly paid €7,000 for his dental expenses. The Mbappé family also financed the travel of their sons' football club for a tournament and invited him and his family to PSG-Bayern in 2023, including a night at the Royal Monceau. 📲 His closeness with the Mbappé clan was such that Fayza Lamari supposedly went through him to send messages to Didier Deschamps, notably after Kylian Mbappé was not selected in the fall of 2024. She also allegedly asked him to intervene with the coach regarding Rayan Cherki. ✈️ Sanhadji also allegedly solicited several personalities to finance his vacations. After facilitating administrative procedures for relatives of Franck Ribéry, he was offered a stay in Sicily worth €6,000. 🇲🇦 Jamel Debbouze allegedly invited him to his riad in Morocco, with a driver and buggy, after Sanhadji secured a spot for his son in a highly sought-after training at Clairefontaine. 🎟️ In 2022, Patrice Evra allegedly offered him €10,000 if he managed to retrieve 80 tickets for the Champions League final Liverpool-Real Madrid at the Stade de France. 💶 Mattéo Guendouzi also allegedly considered donating part of his bonuses from the 2022 World Cup to the police accompanying the French team. Sanhadji allegedly asked him to keep it "very discreet" and to have it justified accountably. ⚖️ Mohamed Sanhadji is currently being charged and is under judicial control. Philippe Diallo explained to the investigators that his behavior was contrary to the ethical and deontological charter of the FFF. His entourage contests the interpretation of certain elements and indicates that he "will reserve his statements for the justice system." 🇫🇷 #Football #FF #Enquête (translated)

🚨 « JE NE SUIS PAS SÛR QU’UN PROFIL COMME RABIOT PUISSE APPORTER DU POSITIF DANS L’ÉQUIPE DE FRANCE 🇫🇷 DE ZIDANE. » 🧐👀 Daniel RIOLO y va fort sur Adrien Rabiot (et Aurélien Tchouameni) qui n’a pas joué ce soir en Belgique 😳👇 : « J’INSISTE SUR LE MILIEU DE TERRAIN : CE N’EST PAS UN HASARD. Habituellement, il ne me plait pas assez et ce soir il m’a beaucoup + plu et notamment CAR CERTAINS ÉTAIENT PAS LÀ. 😶‍🌫️ Avec Camavinga ou Koné, Da Cunha ce sera mieux qu’avec Rabiot.
