Maradona, Cantona, Nicollin ... : TOP 10 of the most sensational statements of 2009

04:24

Publié par 2all


The languages were hanging well over a year. The bad boys of football were rife with sensational statements that have often earned trouble. MAXIFOOT has chosen the best, or rather the worst of verbal blunders of 2009. Sensitive souls refrain!

Everyone is beautiful, everyone is nice. The waffle is the standard for press conferences and other interviews. Communication is settled. But it happens sometimes that the players from the small world of football let go. When the cup is full, the injustice is too high, people start to speak. MAXIFOOT has selected the Top 10 statements in 2009, generous bites truculent or murderous.

1. Diego Maradona - "These whores journalists (...) they suck me and continue to suck my" top ^

By placing match after match to Diego Maradona's responsibilities because of diminishing returns of Argentina, journalists do not think that El Pibe de Oro rewarded them with a tirade own to blow the ratings: "I nothing to do with what those whores journalists. This is for those who do not believe in this team who treated me as less than nothing. Today is the World, without anyone's help and with all the honors. To those who do not believe in us, I apologize to the ladies, they suck me (sic) and I still suck! "

Maradona has had to wait for the final game to ensure qualification of Argentina and thus make their own coin reporters. But the more long ... FIFA has not appreciated, it imposed two months suspended and fined 25 000 Swiss francs (16 560 euros).

2. Decourrière - "One scum hack, the shame of humanity (...) To believe is racist Northerners top ^

The President of Valenciennes, Decourrière, there is not going to leave the dead hand of the match against Bordeaux (1-2) May 13 last, exasperated by the Arbitration Tony Chapron who dared to exclude two of his players ( Siaka Tiene and Luigi Pieroni) and coach (Antoine Kombouare) during the meeting: "You're a scum hack, the shame of humanity! (...) It was a sad circus. Throughout the match, the referee merely errors. He told my players it would all come down to the club. He should have exclusive first. One would think it is racist northerners. "

Chapron decided to refer the case to court, which dismissed November 26. The case is now on appeal. The League has suspended its side Decourrière of office for six months.

3. Eric Cantona - "Domenech is the coach no more football for French Louis XVI!" ^ Top

Eric Cantona did not usually handle the language of wood. It was strongly trying to question him about the national coach Raymond Domenech after the qualification for the Blues noisy World Cup against Ireland November 18: "Domenech is no longer the coach of French football since Louis XVI! If I decide I put Laurent Blanc at the head of the France team. It continues its season with Bordeaux, he was champion with Bordeaux, and after he won the World Cup. Finally, this is only my opinion ... "

Eric Cantona he stung the ball crystal Raymond Domenech? Already President, Laurent Blanc now has the stature of a king sun if we trust the predictions of the King!

4. Louis Nicollin - "Pedretti? (...) A small tarlouze! "^ Top

Back in Ligue 1 this season, the president of the Montpellier HSC Nicollin Louis, is a proponent of such statements you rarely see, normally, in the XXIst century. Not in public at least ... "Pedretti has ordered all field, but this one when it comes to Montpellier, we will deal with it. This guy is a little tarlouze! "

The football world has outraged the trap set for the return leg, the world was outraged by the homophobia underpinned. The League has imposed a suspension of two months to Louis Nicollin.

5. Nicolas Anelka - "I do not want to play football and pay 50% of what I earn the (...) France, a country hypocritical"

Let the word go, Nicolas Anelka will not play in Ligue 1. The child grew Trappes and wants to now be free to ride the wheel of a big engine without being insulted: "When you have lived and played abroad, you can not return to France. We do not accept you more as you were before. In France, you can not do what you want. I'd like to live in France, but it is not possible. We know why level taxation ... If I want to roll in big car, I looked differently. I do not want to play football and pay 50% of what I earn. While some are shocked too bad. But France is a hypocritical country. The money I have, it is for my children, "he confessed last December 16.

This does not prevent him from wearing the jersey of France in South Africa. National identity when you hold us. Her children are so spoiled. Small detail, however, Nicolas Anelka has only one offspring at the moment. Unless it is hidden in an unlikely event since the state would have offered additional units on his tax form.

6. Antoine Kombouare - 'C. Gourcuff should deflate his cigar (...) This guy is bitter (...) He deserves a slap in his face! "^ Top

In late September, Lorient coach Christian Gourcuff went after Claude Makelele after the game against PSG. It is "outdated and has nothing to do on land," he dared. What triggered the wrath of his Parisian counterpart, Antoine Kombouare. "We must respect the man and his career. Christian Gourcuff, one must deflate him a cigar. I am very sorry. We can say everything but the player is prohibited to attack humans. Let Christian Gourcuff talk football and stop trying to take to another. I have the impression that this guy-there is sour. Is it a concern? Excuse me speak with my own words but that kind of guy deserves a slap in the face. "

Hands off my buddy! The National Council of Ethics has ordered the two protagonists to participate in an educational activity on the values of football.

7. Jean-Claude Dassier - "I will not be a president for the Lebanese or the African" top ^

Jean-Claude Dassier had no idea he had started to bomb September 9 during his speech back to the employees of the OM. A few weeks later, the new president of the Marseilles club has learned the hard way that everything always ends up out in the press. "I will not be a president in Lebanon, or the African," he argued.

Accused of racism, Jean-Claude Dassier spent the following days to apologize and try to explain. His predecessor Pope Diouf has not failed to stick, they were "deeply offended" and finding the words "at least ambiguous and doubtful."

8. Jean-Michel Aulas - "From someone with a little virgin in the middle (...) What is the name he?" ^ Top

The chairman of Paris SG Robin Leproux had moved last September 20 to learn that his Lyon counterpart Jean-Michel Aulas had spoken to referee between four eyes and four walls, at halftime of the match between two teams. "From someone with a little virgin in the middle, I think he reacted too quickly from a situation that is not what happened. What do you call it? "Replied Aulas after the criticisms Leproux.

The medium of football is one big family, but the first time is always a little painful. Robin Leproux nevertheless managed integration.

9. Robert Pires - "Domenech is incompetent. His drives are not worthy of his position. You go out there, you just want to throw you in the pool. "^ Top

The war between Robert Pires and Raymond Domenech has declared for years. The midfielder took advantage of the Villarreal clash Henry - Domenech "in September to deliver fuel to the fire. "His workouts are not worthy of his post ... If the Blues do not have a style of play, because Domenech does nothing for. In his talks, he should take some of the great technicians and make speeches shorter and more efficient. You go out there, you have only one idea is to throw yourself into the pool. He is incompetent. "

One thing is for sure, Raymond does not require the hand of Robert.

10. Eric Cantona - "Henry had just buggered three minutes before (...) If I was this Irishman, he would not stay three seconds beside me" top ^

The hand of Thierry Henry against Ireland in the playoff of the 2010 World Cup has not gone unnoticed. Besides the act of cheating, Eric Cantona was especially shocked by the attitude of the French striker after the match. "What shocks me the most is not the hand. That in the end, Henry went to sit next to an Irishman for the console, then he had to bugger her three minutes before! It speaks volumes about what the character ... If this had been Irish, he would not stay more than three seconds sitting next to me ... "

If it was Eric Cantona, Thierry Henry would surely not go sit next to. The captain of the Blues is not crazy either. Meanwhile, Henry will play his fourth final round of World Cup in South Africa. The real reason for the wrath of Canton?

11. (bonus) Small strikes top ^

The sensational statements have not failed in 2009. Other players in the world of football have done everything they could to enter the Top 10, but this time was recalibrated ... / ... Domenech asked the press not to ask him about the match against Ireland because it spoil his pleasure to have met the qualification for the World ... / ... Adil Rami accusing its president of being dishonest and saying he was ready to play six months in the CFA it was not transferred to the OM ... / ... Christophe Dugarry, Bixente Lizarazu or criticizing Luis Fernandez Raymond Domenech unrestrained on their options and communication ... / ... Decourrière regretting that the League does is not managed by responsible people ... / ... Jose Mourinho accused the media pour into prostitution intellectual ... / ...
