Calling hatred and division is unworthy. The strength of the French team, 2 times world champion, is its diversity. The choices of a coach are made on talent, not on skin color !! ”wrote the former OL striker on his social networks.
During the interview, Pierre Ménès notably said: “If you will see a division of honor in the Paris region, you will generally see that there is a white on the field and he is goalkeeper or rear right. Look at the French team. In the French team, today, there are eleven blacks. ” He defended himself, in his own way, that he cannot be racist being “Friend with Gomis, Henry, Nawell Madani or Malik Bentalha”.
