Evra sick of Zidane already talks

Speculations around his replacement have already begun from Zinedine Zidane, allegedly at the top of the Fedech Federation Federation Wish list.
Despite dealing with criticism of a perceived game style, Evra believes that Deschamps deserves more merit.

“We’re talking about Didier Deschamps. Are we not spoiled children? Can’t people be in the semifinals or finals of each tournament? Do you prefer to win or play beautiful football?”
