Blessed bread for Frédéric Thiriez.

The former boss of the LFP and current candidate for the presidency of the FFF denounced Thursday a "scandalous misogynistic cliché" on the Blue, after the tendentious remarks of the current boss of the FFF Noël Le Graët about the atmosphere who reigns in the French women's team.

Asked Wednesday about the fact that coach Corinne Deacon is in conflict with some players, Le Graët replied on RMC Sport that the team had “not lost a match” since the 2019 World Cup. “No match lost, so they can pulling your hair, I don't care, ”he said jokingly (clumsy or even very borderline, let's say it).

"This man no longer masters his language, he is really unworthy of representing football," Frédéric Thiriez reacted to AFP, describing the 79-year-old leader of "repeated offenders" and recalling his famous controversial sentence from September, when Le Graët had declared that racism in football "does not exist or does not exist", drawing the wrath of SOS Racisme.

The Thiriez list

“First: 'there is no racism in football'.

Then, homophobia: "I find that we stop the matches too much in the event of homophobic chants or cries and I instruct my referees not to stop the matches in the event of a homophobic demonstration".

Now he is attacking girls with a scandalous misogynistic cliché, ”enumerated Mr. Thiriez.

Regarding Wednesday's statement, Mr. Thiriez believes that the Minister in charge of Sports, Roxana Maracineanu, "should react", just like Marlène Schiappa (Minister Delegate in charge of Citizenship) and Elisabeth Moreno (Minister in charge of Women's Equality -men).

Candidate for the election of March 13, like the entrepreneur and club advisers Michel Moulin, the former president of the Professional Football League (LFP) is also offended that Mr. Le Graët "refused" his proposal to debate.

“The players, coaches, referees, supporters deserve a public debate.

But no, Mr. Le Graët refuses a debate.

What does it mean ?

That he is scared and that he despises people, ”he lambasted.
