“He was doing his suitcase to leave!” »»
The former scorer also returned to the episode of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and in particular to the Blues strike after the sidelining of Nicolas Anelka. And to believe the native of Arles, Raymond Domenech almost slammed the door in the world.
“In Knysna, I am not proud of the strike, but I was one of the few to go see him after in his room. Disappointed, he was doing his suitcase to leave! We talked about it and maybe he stayed because of my words ”he revealed.
Djibril Cissé does not want him not to have retained him for Euro 2008, the former Lyonnais preferring him Bafétimbi Gomis. “In 2008, he also gave me the Euro after the double of Bafé against Colombia. I would have done the same even if I had missed the World Cup (due to an injury on the eve of departure in Germany). Football is not charity ”he said.
