Christophe Dugarry has (too) gone too far. Wednesday, during his show “Team Duga”, on RMC, the world champion 98 got carried away when talking about the current difficulties of Antoine Griezmann in the jersey of the Barça. “What is he afraid of?” He is afraid of a kid who is 1.50m tall and who is half autistic? He just has to put a pie in his mouth to
Messi if he has a problem, “said Dugarry.

Duga is coming to an end soon on RMC

An exit that shocked, obviously. The consultant then apologized. “I am sincerely sorry for the extent and the response to my remarks about Lionel Messi. I did not want to stigmatize people with autism disorders, it was not my intention, he assured via a message posted on the show’s Twitter account. I apologize to the people I shocked and will do it again at 6 p.m. in Team Duga this evening [jeudi]. The podcast for this part of the show has been removed.

Before that, his speech was rather heard. ” Griezmann has lost confidence, its performance is not good. It is true that Lionel Messi could make him a few more passes, but sincerely it does not shock me. Griezmann is losing balloons, he’s playing little arm, “said Duga, who will be shutting down his activities on RMC in a week.
