Yes, he said something like thst.
Not sure if he was drunk or he just didn't bother watching Real Madrid games during all this time.
He didn't even pay attention when Zidane back in the day and Ancelotti several times mentioned that Mendy is the best DEFENSIVE LB in the world.
Or maybe he is just the typical person that think all black people look the same, and he thought the usual black left back at Real Madrid is Camavinga. That would explain why he played Camavinga several times as LB rather than CM, lol.
I'm happy for Mendy for getting a call to represent France in the Eurocup, but I wonder how he feels after hearing that Deschamps didn't bother watching him play for years.
Sorry I can't find a video with English subtitles:

I think Deschamps played Camavinga at LB before Ancelotti did
He said Mendy used to overlap alot, making forward runs behind the winger. However, now that he plays with Vini, Rodrygo, and Jude, he overlaps less, which improved his defense.
Tell me you don’t watch RM, without telling me you don’t watch RM. Does Deschamps think he’s getting Benjamin or something, cause he’s known to attack just not in football…
