The French national team are in turmoil, having sent Nicolas Anelka home for a bust-up with team coach Raymond Domenech.
Since then, the French fitness coach has quit and the players have refused to train. There’s never a dull moment in the French camp and Patrice Evra has stated that there is a traitor in Les Bleus suggesting that they had played a part in Anelka being sent home.
This comes after virtually all the French press condemned the team for its inability to do well in the tournament. The isssues go way back, before even the Henri hand ball which knocked Ireland unfairly out of the World Cup.
“The problem of France is not Anelka, but the traitor among us,”
Patrice Evra said, said at a press conference. “We must eliminate the traitor from the group, because he wants to hurt the team”.
He also added, “There is no little mouse in the locker room, this comes from someone who is on the team and wants to hurt the team. We are not going to lie, the reporter from L’Equipe did not make this up.”
