“Do as I say, not as I do.” This is the adage that could sum up Christophe Dugarry’s public speeches. Since he began his second life as a consultant, the 1998 world champion has not hesitated to issue harsh criticism of current footballers.
The latest example to date concerns Rayan Cherki. On Sunday evening, after Lyon’s defeat against Marseille at the end of a stunning Olympico (2-3), the Olympic vice-champion had pointed the finger at his team’s lack of realism, describing this result as a “shame” for Les Gones.
When Dugarry tackles Cherki… before being reframed
This media outing by Rayan Cherki did not please Christophe Dugarry at all. “What does what he said mean? When you have chances, you have to put them in the back of the net… But man, it’s your career. You can replace the ‘On with ‘I’. 142 matches, 18 goals. The guy comes to explain to you at the end that you have to be efficient, that you have to push the opponent down and that when you have to score three or four goals, you have to score them. But that’s precisely what he’s been criticized for since the beginning of his career! thundered “Duga” on RMC.
The fact remains that by castigating Rayan Cherki’s statistical record, Christophe Dugarry has extended a pole to his detractors. As with the theme of professionalism, statistics remain a thorny subject for Dugarry. A striker who often plays in the middle, the former Bordeaux player had not reached the 100-goal mark in his professional career. “496 matches, 91 goals. In 16 years of career,” said one user on X. “Um, Dugarry’s nickname during his career? Dugachi… He owes a lot of his career to his great friendship with (Zinedine) Zidane”, “Look at yourself in a mirror my little Christophe before talking about other players”, we could read on the social network. The watered sprinkler.
