Pierre Ménès finds himself in the eye of the cyclone. It must be said that the former star consultant of Canal+ made abject remarks on the players of the French team, during an interview recently granted to the far -right tvliberté media.
“” If you will see an honor division match in the Paris region, you will see that there is generally a white on the field: he is or goalkeeper or rear right. And look at the French team: today there are eleven blacks ”AA notably dropped the 62 -year -old journalist.
Faced with the controversy aroused by his declarations, Pierre Ménès tried to justify himself as best they can. “” Being the regular defender of Kylian Mbappé, half Cameroonian, half of Algeria, and being a foul racist monster … You cannot be friends with Bafé Gomis, Thierry Henry, Nawell Madani or Malik Bentalha and be a racist filthy monster. You have to stop bullshit! “He said.
Gomis: “I am very disappointed with the words of Pierre Ménès and firmly condemns them”
A defense that has not convinced everyone, starting with his ” friend »Bafétimbi Gomis. “” I am very disappointed with the words of Pierre Ménès and firmly condemns them. Calling hatred and division is unworthy. The strength of the French team, twice world champion is its diversity. The choices of a coach are made on talent, not on skin color !! »»wrote the former OL striker and OM on X (ex-Twitter).
As a reminder, Bafétimbi Gomis defended Pierre Ménès in 2019 the latter had denounced a ” anti-white racism » in the world of football. “” He is a friend, I know that he is not racist, even if he said stupidity, and I condemn his words, had reacted the “panther” to RMC Sport. But you shouldn't be amalgamated, confused everything. Sometimes I miss a ready-made goal and him, as it is a big mouth, he may have expressed himself. But I repeat it, he's not someone racist. I took it for my rank by defending it but I have principles: I have always been taught to tell the truth. »»
