"FFF are bunch of clowns, I am dying with laughter", says Anelka
Nicolas Anelka’s response to 18 game ban is that He is dying with laughter. The star Chelsea striker was sent home from World cup 2010 after he had a fight with coach Raymond Domenech.
“This whole thing is a nonsense, to turn the page because [new coach] Laurent Blanc needs to be able to work in peace,” Anelka told France Soir.
“These people are clowns. I’m dying with laughter,” he added.
Anelka said the suspension “has no relevance whatsoever” because as far as he is concerned, his international career finished when he was thrown out of training on 19 June.
“The whole commission thing is a charade not to lose face,” he added.
His team mates refused to practice after he was thrown out competition and was sent home.
Anelka along with Patrice Evra and Franck Ribery are banned by the French Football Association (FFF) for 18, 5 and 3 games respectively . Eric Abidal was also summoned by the inquiry committee but he escaped the punishment.
Evra and Ribery were summoned for not performing their duties properly as captain and vice captain and Abidal’s offence was his refusal to play in group match against South Africa, France lost that one by 2-1.
