Why Zidane and Jacquet are absent from the documentary on Deschamps

But in the documentary "Didier versus Deschamps" he produced, Nagui portrays the coach – who has been his friend for 25 years – with a more personal look. His film will be broadcast this Friday on TF1, just after the match of the French team in Iceland in the framework of the qualifiers for Euro 2020.

"Jacquet warned against doing it"

Many players, journalists and columnists appear there. But Zinedine Zidane and Aime Jacquet, two historical figures of the Blues, are missing. In The Team, Nagui gives some explanations. The absence of "Zizou"? "I left messages about what I thought was his cell phone and he did not answer me … I respect," says the host.

Aimé Jacquet, he justified his decision not to speak. The man at the controls of the French team from 1993 to 1998, with the victory at the World Cup at home, "told me that we should rather protect privacy rather than tell it ", explains Nagui, who adds:" He did not even advise Didier to do it. "

Dugarry declined "politely"

Zinedine Zidane and Aimé Jacquet are not the only figures of the 1998 World Cup not to appear in the documentary. Christophe Dugarry is not there either. The member of the Dream Team RMC Sport and Didier Deschamps had some frictions on the sidelines of the 2018 World Cup. However, Nagui sought to join the former striker. He declined "politely".

"Didier told me, 'He will not do it, but go ahead and contact him.' We talked to each other, he expressed his prism, and, honestly, it is reflected in the various testimonies of Vincent Duluc, Pierre Ménès or Daniel Riolo ", concludes Nagui.
