Not a football phenomenon. What Karim Zeribi says is false! It is to stir up all the hatred in a society. He asked Didier Deschamps to comment on the reasons why he did not select Rayan Cherki. Will he comment on the 800 players he does not take? There are lots of players that Didier Deschamps does not take! »»insurgiated the journalist in the show that bears his name on CNews.
