Former coach of the Blues and the French Olympic team, Raymond Domenech did not appreciate a statement from Aurélien Tchouaméni about the Paris 2024 Olympics.
This is one of the big topics of the moment among French internationals: who will be available to compete in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games with the Espoirs led by Thierry Henry? The French coach has the right to add three players over the age of twenty-three to his group. Many candidates were on the starting line, but many of them will have to give up participation in the Olympics because of the refusal of their clubs. Aurélien Tchouaméni is the last to confirm this, which made Raymond Domenech jump.
“ Obviously it’s something extraordinary. But Real is our employer so if he vetoes, there is not much to say. » It is in these terms that Aurélien Tchouaméni confirmed this Thursday to the press that he would most certainly not go to the Olympic Games, any more than his French teammates from Real Madrid. A few hours later, Raymond Domenech responded to him on the set of the channel The Team. “ When I hear Tchouaméni tell me that it is the club that decides, and accept kindly, quietly, I find that there is a form of hypocrisy. »
Mbappé also targeted
And the man who was the coach of the French Olympic team during the Atlanta 1996 Olympic Games (France was eliminated on penalties by Portugal in the quarter-finals), continued: “ He put the blanket on himself: 'It's not me, it's Real'. When we went to the Olympics in Atlanta, I didn't campaign. These are the players who went to see their clubs. I told them: 'Do you really want to do the Games? Go tell your clubs that you want to do them and whatever happens, you will do them'. »
And the consultant finally addresses a little dig to a certain Kylian Mbappé. “ When I heard Mbappé the other day, who said: 'It was my dream to make the Olympics', but Real doesn't want to. So I put my dream in my pocket. There is something that bothers me. Tchouaméni who says that we don't want to get angry with our club… If he is afraid that Real will fire him, he will play in all the clubs in Europe.»
