New controversy. After France’s fall in the final of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, one of the names that took over the team was Zinedine Zidane; However, this option was watered down with the ratification of Didier Deschamps. In the middle of this panorama Noël Le Graet, President of the French Football Federation (FFF), spoke about the rumors that bring “Zizou” closer to the Brazilian team. His expression made the scorer uncomfortable Kylian Mbappe.
“Zidane with Brazil? I don’t know, I would be surprised. He does what he wants; Which does not concern me. I’ve never seen it; we never thought of parting ways with Didier Deschamps (…). As for Zidane and the Brazilian team, I don’t care, let him go where he wants! You can go wherever you want, to a club… of choice. I don’t buy it. What if Zidane tries to find me? Sure, no, I wouldn’t even have called him,” the boss told RCM media.
These words provoked various reactions and one of the first to speak up was the PSG shooter, who did not share these statements and considered them disrespectful. “Zidane is France, you can’t ignore the legend,” said ‘Kyky’ on his social media.

It should be noted that this is not the first scandal related to the European squad. During Qatar 2022, a conflict between Karim Benzema and strategist Deschamps became public. The Real Madrid forward was famously capable of facing the final spurt of the tournament but was disregarded by the manager.
