When it came to that emotionally charged scene with Zidane in the dressing room, Deschamps said it was the same sort of approach he always took with teammates. In addition to the words he used, he felt it was also important to touch people while talking to them and to synchronize his words with his body language. “You have to match up what you want to say with your facial expression,” he said. “The players know when I’m happy or not. They can hear it and they can also see it.”
