France coach Deschamps sues Nasri’s girlfriend!

France coach Didier Deschamps has filed a civil law
suit against Samir Nasri’s girlfriend after her foul-
mouthed rant regarding his decision to omit the
Manchester City midfielder from his World Cup
squad.
Anara Atanes caused a twitter-storm after tweeting
‘F*** France and F*** Deschamps! What a s***
manager’.
But, even though she later apologised, Deschamps
will be taking legal action against Atanes.
French radio station RMC is reporting that
Deschamps and the French Football Federation
(FFF) have both opened legal proceedings against
Atanes, who is an English-born singer from the pop
group Fanfare.
‘FFF condemns insulting remarks against Didier
Deschamps and fully supports his coach in his
approach,’ read a statement released on Friday.
‘The unanimous feedback confirmed that the entire
France condemned such remarks. FFF believes that
the unanimous indignation is enough to condemn
such behaviour.’
Atanes had tweeted: ‘I apologize if i offended
anyone from france, My tweets were not aimed at
the nation as a whole,’ tweeted the Brighton-born
model.
The Manchester City playmaker was surprisingly left
out of coach Deschamps’ 23-man squad, and even
the seven on standby, when it was announced on
Tuesday.
And the 26-year-old, who was also left out of the
2010 World Cup by then-coach Raymond Domenech,
told Sky Sports : ‘It’s a little bit hard to accept.
‘I need to take some time now to think about the
national team because it’s been twice now that they
take away a World Cup from me.
‘I need to think a little bit during the holiday, what
will be my future in the national team, because
missing two World Cups is really hard for a player.’
While Nasri’s absence was greeted with widespread
shock, the player himself said: ‘I must confess, I
knew before.
‘Sometimes you have the feeling, when you call to
speak to the manager and he doesn’t want to speak
to you, you know you’re not going to go to the
World Cup.
‘It was a shock but I was prepared mentally. I’m
okay.
‘I respect his choice. He wanted to not pick me…
good on him. I wish good luck to the French
national team.’
‘You can go around and ask any player if they’re
happy to be on the bench, nobody’s going to say
yes.’
Former France captain Patrick Vieira has expressed
his surprise at Nasri’s exclusion.
Vieira, a member of France’s 1998 World Cup-
winning squad when Deschamps was captain, has
seen at firsthand, much of Nasri’s fine campaign.
The former Arsenal captain is now the coach of the
elite development squad at City.
Vieira tweeted: ‘It is a surprise not to see
@SamNasri19 on the way to Brazil. For me, the way
he played his year would have put him on the
plane.’
Deschamps defended his decision to omit Nasri,
suggesting the former Arsenal star was not an ideal
squad player.
‘Samir is an important player for Manchester City
but he has not performed that well with France,’ he
said.
‘He is a starter at City, which is not the case with
France, and he has made it clear that he is not
happy when he is a substitute – and I can tell you it
can be felt in the squad.’
