« La plupart de mes joueurs n’étaient pas nés » : Didier Deschamps refuse de parler de revanche de 2002

According to reports from Taggat, Didier Deschamps reacted to the memory of Senegal's historic 1-0 victory over France in the opening match of the 2002 World Cup. With another encounter between the two teams approaching, the French national team coach was keen to dismiss any notion of revenge, stating that this episode is now history. When questioned about this match, which remains etched in the memories of Senegalese fans, the French manager pointed out that the majority of his players had no direct connection to the event.

“Almost all of my players weren’t even born in 2002,” he said, highlighting the generational gap between the Lions of Teranga’s achievement and the current French team. Didier Deschamps also dismissed the idea of a desire for revenge: “There’s no such thing as revenge in football, especially 24 years later,” he stated, while acknowledging the importance of Senegal’s performance in Seoul.

For the French coach, the upcoming match should be seen as a new chapter. "What happened in 2002 is history, and that's great for Senegal. Today, a new page is being written," he added. Determined to secure a favorable result, Didier Deschamps assures that his team will do everything necessary to ensure that the outcome of the match goes in favor of Les Bleus this time.
