Les Bleus is Les Liaisons Dangereuses: A power trip of suspense and intrigue
Gourcuff is as per many Les Bleus, the darling of French coach Raymond Domenech and considered the centerpiece of the French team.
This is causing heartburn and threatening to split the French team apart.
Franck Ribery believes that he is the creative cog. Abou Diaby believes that he deserves a place over Gourcuff. Thierry Henry is smarting from Barca’s rejection and wants Domenech to know he is not yet washed up. The result is that some players are avoiding the apple of Domenech’s eye on the field.
It’s not just Gourcuff. William Gallas is envious that Patrice Evra has been given captaincy.
A coach living past his time, a hand ball that got France passage, an underage prostitute that might mean jail time for its most creative presence, controversies over player omissions, and now a threat of a full blown mutiny. Can anyone say Vikash Dhorasoo fast enough?
It’s all a scene from Les Liaisons Dangereuses. It’s also called Les Bleus. Fasten your seatbelts, folks! We’ll get to see it all against Uruguay on Friday.
