Europe 1
By Emilie Bonnaud and
INTERVIEW – Tuesday morning on Europe 1, Prime Minister Manuel Valls, asked about the case of “sextape” Mathieu Valbuena, threw a spanner in the works by estimating about Karim Benzema that a “great sportsman must be exemplary”, otherwise it “has no place in the France team.” At the head of the Blues for almost eight years, Raymond Domenech has faced this type of problem when the Minister of Health and Sports of the time, Roselyne Bachelot, had ruled in January 2010 that the indictments Franck Ribery and Karim Benzema (already) under the Zahia affair were “hardly compatible with a presence in the France team.”
“Beyond the political recovery that is made by ministers or by policies on the backs of athletes, when things are going good or when things are not going well, I can not disagree with what is said “, considers Raymond Domenech. “A top athlete is someone that represents something When one wears jersey of the France team, it represents something (When I was coach) I often told them.. ‘You’re an example, whether you like it or not ‘. “
” A moral pressure. “ However, the Europe 1 soccer consultant evokes more pressure” moral “that “policy”. “When we coach, it is also in this light. The players represent the team of France and France must show exemplary.” At the time, if he had not accepted Benzema, Domenech, makes the difference between a “put under investigation” and “conviction”, has selected Franck Ribery for the World Cup 2010. “They were not convicted and the case was not quite the same, “he insists.

Raymond Domenech does not forget to point out that Nikola Karabatic, initially sentenced for fraud in the case of paris, continued to wear the jersey of the France team handball …

This is not to pressure, is trying to understand the position of the coach, the actual situation and the weight of the government. “
If no condemnation should occur by the Euro, Raymond Domenech believes the words of the Prime Minister should not have a big influence. “It is not the Prime Minister who will make the selection. This is not what he says that will affect the decision of Didier (Deschamps, the coach). These are the consequences that this case may have on the France team, which is preparing to play a Euro at home. That’s a real weight, but the statements of the Prime Minister, well … “
