FFF President, Noël Le Graet, has caused outrage with his recent comments regarding French football legends Zinedine Zidane and Karim Benzema. Both players are of Muslim Algerian origin, and their contributions to French football have been immeasurable.

In a recent interview, Le Graet stated that he does not care about Zidane and would not even pick up the phone if the former player tried to contact him. He also suggested that the team may have scored fewer goals at the World Cup without Giroud, implying that Benzema’s absence was not a factor.

These statements have been met with shock and disbelief by football fans and critics, who have accused Le Graet of disrespecting some of the country’s greatest players. Zidane is a World Cup winner and three-time Champions League winner as a player, and has enjoyed success as a manager, leading Real Madrid to three Champions League titles. Benzema, meanwhile, is the all-time leading scorer for the French national team.

Many believe that Le Graet’s comments are indicative of a larger problem within French football, and that his lack of respect for the contributions of these players is damaging to the sport in the country. It remains to be seen how the FFF will respond to the backlash against Le Graet’s statements.
