Jérôme Rothen’s big rant

The former PSG player reacted strongly to the planned departure of young Troyes winger Savio for Manchester City.

He is one of the revelations of Girona, the surprise team in the Spanish championship. Despite his 19 years, Savio is an indisputable starter and already has 5 goals and 5 assists in 23 appearances in La Liga.

Recruited in 2022 by Troyes via the City Football Group and loaned last summer to Spain after a less successful first loan at PSV Eindhoven, the young Brazilian will probably never play in Aube. His departure for Manchester City is in fact already scheduled. Enough to make Jérôme Rothen jump.

“They perhaps imagine that, because it’s Troyes, we’re not going to be vigilant. I find that problematic. I just want to tell them: ‘get out, French football doesn’t need you’. I’m not ashamed to say it, we don’t need them. It makes me angry. Through this player, everything is summed up. They are using this club as a springboard for certain players, he complained at the microphone of RMC. Since they’ve been here, it’s been the berezina. They sold us a club which must establish itself and last in Ligue 1, and upon arrival, they are at the bottom of Ligue 2. There is no stability. With Savio, we have reached a milestone, we must denounce it. »
