Football is losing its way, that's a bit of the meaning of the words of former French international Gaël Givet (12 caps). In an interview given to Nice Morningthe former defender of Monaco, OM and even Blackburn, explained that he no longer followed football. The fault, in part, lies with a new generation that is less passionate and more focused on appearances. “I have the impression that we think first of having a beautiful sweetheart and putting a photo of ourselves on the networks with our beautiful car”explains the 2006 World Cup finalist.

«Football? I'm not. At some point there will be awareness. When we see at the professional level, five players or a coach rushing screaming at a referee as soon as he calls a foul, we cannot continuehe continues. What are the Federation, the League or even the Ministry of Sports doing? What are they waiting for to really take things head on? Football is making a fool of itself. I'm not ashamed, but almost, to see what he's become. It pains me. I'm a 43 year old guy and a little nostalgic. Some people share my point of view and others don't. Which I respect. If it's just me who thinks like that, I might be wrong, but I don't have that impression. »
