Pierre Ménès criticized Hervé Mathoux for not having defended himself during a clash in 2019 with Alain Roche on the Canal Football Club set.
Pierre Ménès still has it in his throat… On his YouTube channel, the former star consultant of Canal+ returned to the disagreement he had with Alain Roche on the set of the Canal Football Club during a heavy defeat of the Paris Saint-Germain in Lille (5-1), in April 2019.
“ At the time of the CFC, I remember a quarrel that wasn’t even off camera with Alain Roche, whom I adore. It was during a Lille-PSG match, when Losc beat Paris 5-1 (in 2019). I think Paris Saint-Germain were missing seven players, and at half-time there was, it seems to me, the expulsion of Thiago Silva (of Juan Bernat in reality, editor’s note) and the injury of Maxwell (of Thiago Silva and Thomas Meunier, editor’s note) »said Ménès, before making a strong tackle to the presenter of the show, Hervé Mathoux.
Pierre Ménès: “Hervé Mathoux once again did not come to my defense”
“ Alain Roche says that Paris is not good and I tell him ‘but which PSG are we talking about’, he recalled. EThere he made a somewhat contemptuous comment to me which I took very badly because I am not always perfect in my reactions and it came on the air quite loudly in the towers. And obviously, that’s too much to ask, Hervé Mathoux once again didn’t come to my defense and I really got very, very angry. »
This is not the first time that Pierre Ménès has attacked Hervé Mathoux. A little over a year ago, the 61-year-old journalist, who left the Canal+ group in 2021 following accusations of sexual assault, had very harsh words for his former colleague . “ Not once in two years (Hervé Mathoux checked in on him, editor’s note). But I’m not surprised I knew he was like that “, he wrote on X, bitterly, and added: “ He dropped me like shit. For two years, not a message, nothing. But that didn’t even surprise me. »
