FOOTBALL The new called for France was smiling but avoided the controversial topic …
Yet it was a good opportunity to finally lance the boil, settle once and for all the problem. Yes, Nabil Fekir finally chose to play with France rather than Algeria, and yes, it is now “very happy” to be at Clairefontaine, where he is introduced to the media on Tuesday. A decision that could have explained “officially” in front of cameras and jogging the France team. The first question has obviously launched the subject. Fekir, a confident tone: “We talked a lot about lately. My choice was a lot of thought and it is final. That way at least it’s clear. “
Two questions later, another journalist tries a raise for the reasons that led him to the Blues. Philippe Tournon, the press officer of the France team, sitting alongside Fekir the cutting
“. – More questions about the subject, thank you. This is a debate on which we will not go back forever …
- So we do not talk about
?
- He does not want to say more than what has been said. Everything has been said. Next question. “
Fekir not mufti. New attempt, a good fifteen minutes later, from an RFI journalist who wanted to know the reasons why and how “our African listeners.” Same result.
Instead “shy” in the group, as presented Benoit Trémoulinas, Fekir is also in the media. No doubt he had been briefed by his advisors (or Didier Deschamps?) To succeed his first to the media and settle the problem, but his fear of re talking about him for the wrong reasons made him choose the easy way out. Do not forget that only 21 years old, he has not yet done a full season with the pros and, as his coach at Lyon Hubert Fournier advised him there is little, “it is better to speak with her feet in the press “

So we stuck to ‘A classic press conference. Reserved but pretty smiling Fekir gives the impression of being an ambitious boy who knows what he wants – “The Euro 2016 is a very clear objective” – without any arrogance – “for now I’m here to learn “. The kind of talk Raphael Varane or manning Paul Pogba before settling in Blue. And for everything else, this is what we learned from the new striker of the team of France:
- It is a great admirer of Karim Benzema, also born in the Lyon region and formed OL. “Karim came to me, says Fekir. He put me immediately at ease. I hope he will try to integrate into the group. “
- He played youth with Kurt Zouma another new called who might know his first cap blue this week, FC Vaulx-en-Velin. “At 15 he was already strong, but less than now, smiled the revelation of the year. I have always believed that he could succeed. “
- The tradition is that a new called for France sings a song to the whole group as a hazing. For Fekir was “My Direction” of Franco Battiato.
