Water has flowed under the bridges, but the scars are still visible. Fifteen years after the famous episode of Knysna, considered the greatest scandal in the history of the French team, the treatment reserved for Yoann Gourcuff by some of his teammates continues to be talked about.

A few days ago,
Nicolas Anelka spoke to deliver his version of the facts. The former striker assured it: Franck Ribéry never had physical altercation with Gourcuff. “” Ribéry who attacks Gourcuff? It never existed, launched Anelka in the club of 5. The so-called 'little French' who is harassed by the scum of the French team. It was necessary to sell paper. Frankly, it was very weak. Me, the danger of this story is the fact that Gourcuff does not want to deny everything that is said. We didn't understand. I have never seen an interview with him to say that it was an invented story. It was really a special World Cup …“.

This player who did not want to defend for Gourcuff

If Ribéry therefore had no visible problem with Gourcuff, Pierre Ménès recalled that the former playmaker had been completely snubbed by his teammates in the first match of this World Cup, against Uruguay (0-0) . According to Ménès, a man had indicated that he did not want to make defensive efforts for the one who was then playing in Bordeaux.

“Anyway, this competition had gone in peanuts because before the first match against Uruguay, Florent Malouda will see Domenech and says' I wanted to defend for Zidane, I do not want to defend for Gourcuff”, said Pierre Ménès on his YouTube channel.

“Yoann will tell Domenech: 'I can't play, they don't give me the ball. To which Raymond, logically, replies “But it is bullshit, we will prove to you that it is not the case”, continued Pierre Ménès. Raymond commands a video by asking his editor 'Make me a montage that contradicts Yoann' claims. Except that after 3 am, the video editor came and said 'I can't'. »» Facts that say a lot about the lack of cohesion of this French team, before we know …
