Deschamps turns on AVB

Didier Deschamps yesterday hit back at Andre Villas-Boas as the war of words between the two over Hugo Lloris intensified.

Deschamps has been at odds with Villas-Boas ever since the Portuguese signed the France goalkeeper from Lyon on transfer deadline day.

The France head coach is unhappy that Lloris, who also captains the national team, is not a regular starter at Tottenham, where he is in competition with Brad Friedel.
