Bixente Lizarazu is a stubborn man, but it would seem that his will to maintain perfect cohesion within the France 98 caste is crumbling over the years and controversies. "Yes, I saw myself as a shepherd, but I lost a few sheep," he jokes in a interview for The Team. Between Duga and DD, there is nothing more to do.

There is fire at the FFF, but behind the Noël Le Graët controversy, Didier Deschamps succeeded by extending his contract at the head of the Blues. A victory at all costs acquired under the nose of Zinedine Zidane. And the recent denial of "DD" does not weigh heavily for Daniel Riolo.
