“They will never make a twist”: the true nature of the relationship between Deschamps and Zidane

Their last joint appearance dates from October 17, 2022. The fleeting scene is set at the Théâtre du Châtelet, where the Ballon d’Or ceremony is held. In a living room of the vast Parisian performance hall, where the gratin of world football wanders that Monday, the hug between Didier Deschamps and Zinedine Zidane goes almost unnoticed. Smiling over the shoulder, the two former teammates kiss each other before attending the coronation of Karim Benzema.
