Leaving AC Milan at only 20 years after revealing himself with Stade Rennais, Yoann Gourcuff discovered a world probably too big for him in Lombardy. Mainly confined to a replacement role, the former Rennais lived two particularly difficult years among the Rossoneri before resolving to return to France in the form of a loan to the Girondins.
Capable of opposing the caciques of the Lombard locker room, Clarence Seedorf in mind, Yoann Gourcuff had undergone a very violent charge of Paolo Maldini after his departure from Milan. “In Milan, Gourcuff has missed everything, 100 %. For what I saw, a good part of the wrongs came from him. His problem here was his behavior. He has not been intelligent in his way of managing himself ”he had launched in the columns of the team in the fall of 2010.
“It's really a shame, because no one calls into question their technical qualities. He did not want to make himself available to the group, had continued the former Milanese defender. When a rule was imposed, he didn't care. We cannot behave like this. Honestly, after a while, we did not even take care of him anymore. ”
Yoann Gourcuff's partner had tried to commit suicide
Yoann Gourcuff had some extenuating circumstances at the forefront of which her break with Anne-Sophie, her love of youth, who had tried to end his life while the couple had moved to a High Standing apartment in the San Siro district.
On this subject, Guillaume Pacini, a specialist in Italian football, delivered an anecdote on the passage of Yoann Gourcuff in the Rossoneri. “Before a match in Cagliari, the player is fighting fairly strong with his partner of the time. The club is warned, his home is over top below and half underwater. The Frenchman finally joined the last second to the rest of the group to join Sardinia ”, he revealed on X.
“More generally: its history went wrong for adaptation/character problems. The senators tried to acclimatize it as well as possible … in vain, he continued. After his loan in Bordeaux (2008-2009), Leonardo wants to recover it in Milan to try to relaunch it. The player refuses despite a trip on site to the Galliani-Leonardo duo in early June. »»
