The treatment reserved for Bradley Barcola in Lyon on Monday provoked strong reactions from followers of the French team.

Bradley Barcola did not wait to return to Lyon with the jersey of theFrench team to measure how low his popularity rating was in his old stadium. With Paris Saint-Germain, the young striker had already been roundly booed at the Groupama Stadium.

The story repeated itself in the context of an international gathering. On Monday, for the match between Les Bleus and Belgium, the Parisian was booed by the spectators present, still bitter after the transfer of the striker to Paris more than a year ago…

“Distressing” behavior

Didier Deschamps, who was also booed, did not appreciate this reaction from the public at all. I heard those (the whistles, ed.) for Bradleyhe thundered. I’m not going to point the finger at one club or another, but that’s the only regret when you go to play in the provinces: there can be this type of reaction. It doesn’t have any influence on me but it obviously has an influence on the players. When we come, we support the French team…».

The coach was not the only one to criticize this attitude. Correspondent of the French team for La Chaine L’Equipe, Giovanni Castaldi let out a big rant. What a shame! A 22-year-old player wearing the French team jersey, booed, jeered… His mistake? Having brought in 50 million euros to his club. Distressing” wrote the journalist on X.
