Given the position of foreign clubs such as Real Madrid, who have already warned the French Federation (FFF) that they will not allow their players to attend the Olympic Games, Thierry Henry is well aware that he will not have complete freedom to make his list. “Refusals? I’m not afraid, I know it will happen. I don’t think it comes from them(French clubs) this time, well, I hope so,” the coach explained during a meeting with readers of Le Parisien – Today in France, March 19.
But difficulties may also arise from Ligue 1 clubs. On Wednesday, March 27, Florian Maurice, Rennes’ technical director, threw a spanner into the pond by declaring that he did not want to let several players go to the Olympics. “We can’t strip off to make sure we dress the French team,” he said. With five potential players (Belosian, Truffert, Kalimuendo and D. Douai and possibly Bourigo), Rennes will indeed be one of the hardest hit L1 clubs.
