It seems there is a bit of tension between the coaches, Didier Deschamps and André Villas-Boas, regarding the playing time of goalkeeper Hugo Lloris at Tottenham Hotspur. Deschamps, the coach of the French national team, expressed concern about Lloris being on the bench for Tottenham after playing for the national team. Villas-Boas responded by saying it goes “in one ear, out the other.”
Deschamps, in a press briefing before a friendly match against Italy, responded to Villas-Boas’s indifference by saying, “I have two ears, it goes in through one and it comes out through the other.” This exchange suggests a level of disagreement or tension between the two coaches regarding the handling of Lloris’s playing time.
The situation revolves around Lloris, who is the number 1 goalkeeper for the French national team but faces competition at Tottenham from Brad Friedel. Deschamps is keen on Lloris getting more playing time to stay in form, while Villas-Boas seems content with the current arrangement. The comments from both coaches indicate a difference of opinion on how Lloris should be utilized at the club level
