Karim Benzema -

FRANCK FIFE / AFP

Candidate for the presidency of the French Football Federation, Michel Moulin plays the anti-establishment card.

The entrepreneur wants to give the clubs a voice and denounces the current management by the leaders of the FFF of the Karim Benzema or Corinne Deacon-Amandine Henry files, where, he believes, the president "must intervene" more.

You advocate breaking with the system.

What do you denounce in this one?

Today, there are more and more clubs, especially amateurs, which are in danger of death, and no one is taking care of them, there is no benevolence from the Federation.

We need a real break in governance, a real boss as in a company.

I want to relocate a lot of things to the Leagues and Districts because they are experiencing the problem.

The Federation must help the clubs, be grateful so that this football can continue to live.

We must give the floor to the clubs, which do not have it.

Wouldn't all the clubs in France want to vote for the president of the French Federation?

This is democratic reform.

The limitation to two terms (for the president), too: when you've done eight years, you have to know how to pass (the hand) to people who have new ideas.

Today, there are fewer and fewer parents who want to register their children for football.

It is heresy.

When you're a football fan, you're scum, when that's not it.

With Frédéric Thiriez candidate, Luis Fernandez interested, don't you fear the scattering of the candidates against the current president Noël Le Graët, if he seeks a new mandate during the elections in March?

Without criticizing others, I do not belong to a caste.

I have been a player since I was six years old, I passed my coaching diplomas, I chaired an amateur club, I took over the Red Star.

Football is my passion.

It is not a question of power, because power, I had it in my companies (the newspapers ParuVendu and Le 10 Sport, editor's note).

I'm here for popular football, so that it can continue to evolve.

You recently criticized the handling of the Karim Benzema case.

With you in charge, he would be reinstated in the Blues?

Benzema, this is just one case.

Of course, it is the coach who selects.

On the other hand, when we talk about management, it is the boss's role to bring together Mr. (Didier) Deschamps, Mr. Benzema and to make peace at a given moment.

We cannot deprive ourselves of a boy who is perhaps the best striker we have ever had in France.

That's what I mean: the president of the Federation must get involved in a file like this one.

He has to love the players, be with them instead of being against them.

Me, I like the players, I will defend them.

Corinne Deacon's problem with her captain Amandine Henry, if I am president, it is not in the newspapers that it is dealt with.

With a good manager, that doesn't happen.

The case of Mr. (Raymond) Domenech, it is the same: there is a charter which says that a coach cannot train at more than 65 years old (the charter of professional football of the League, Editor's note), how it is lets go train Nantes?

The president of the Federation must intervene.

How do we let Mediapro come?

They should have blocked.
