Bixente Lizarazu, retired in his very dear Basque Country, had not yet commented on the news of the Blues and the FFF.
Since this Tuesday, the consultant to the Team, TF1 and Radio France has delivered his opinion, between tact, frankness and development.
"Liza" reviewed all the hot issues such as the withdrawal of Noël Le Graët from his position as president of 3F ("
it was the minimum that the Comex could do
"), the latter's comments on Zinédine Zidane ("
Christmas Le Graët's release on "Zizou" was the straw that broke the camel's back. I thought he had freaked out
.") or Didier Deschamps' contract extension until 2026.
To discover
The complete calendar of the Blues
On this last point, the former partner of "DD" at the Blues held a frank speech.
Not always easy when you know the friendship that binds the two men, just like that of Lizarazu with Zidane, after their common years in Blues and with the Girondins de Bordeaux.
Unlike Christophe Dugarry, close to ZZ and angry with Deschamps, the former left-back remained on good terms with most of his former selection partners.
If the extension of the contract of his ex-captain in the France team does not surprise him (“
Clearly, he has won the right to continue the adventure
”), it is the duration, until 2026, which challenges him. .
“
The continuity, it should have been two more years and we see after the Euro.
It seemed healthier to me, especially since Didier will already have had a twelve-year lease at the head of the Blues.
It 's
a lot for a locker room, especially since we have a possible successor.

The fact that Noël Le Graët does not even broach the subject with his Comex, does not pose the question of the duration, of the possible candidates, that poses a problem.
The French team does not belong to Noël Le Graët, nor to Didier Deschamps, nor to anyone else.
It belongs to everyone

And Lizarazu to respond to the fact that he would have preferred a real discussion on this subject rather than a simple consultation between Le Graët and Deschamps.
“Yes, and not just a debate for two, between Le Graët and Didier.
In summary, what bothers me is that the subject of the future of the coach of the Blues has been treated with bias by Le Graët.
"Zizou" deserves as much attention and consideration as Didier.
It's a story of balance and fairness
