Pierre Ménès admits error about Zinédine Zidane, Digi Mart USA News: Pierre Ménès has not always been kind to Zinédine Zidane. Regularly asked about the new coach of the French national team on his YouTube channel, the former journalist has previously said he did not carry “the man in his heart,” criticizing Zidane’s public remarks when he was a player.

“I would say that overall, early in his career, I was off the mark about Zidane. In Cannes, I found him heavy and lazy,” he admitted in his commentary segment “Face à Pierrot” on his channel, having previously been a outspoken figure on Canal Football Club.
Ménès also misjudged the current Paris Saint-Germain, two-time Champions League winner and still highly impressive at the continental level. “I never imagined that Luis Enrique’s PSG would become such a winning machine.
Afterward, you have to be in bad faith to say: ‘I was sure,'” he defended himself.
“After all, the very essence of my channel is to make debriefs, so you are always looking at a snapshot of the moment. Either you take no risks and this channel has no interest and becomes deadly boring, or you take risks, and there you go…
When I am wrong, I have no problem saying so, and when I am right, I have no problem saying so.”
