Lille: the disarray of the first agent of Ben Arfa after his new skid! – World Eleven

Zapping Onze Mondial EXCLUDED: the “Little brother” interview with Édouard Mendy! Sunday, we learned that Hatem Ben Arfa had had an altercation with his coach, Jocelyn Gourvennec, but also his teammate, Tiago Djalo. Still away from the group, the French international seems set to see his experience in the North end prematurely. Enough to give regrets to his first agent, Frédéric Guerre, who spoke to RMC Sport. On the reasons for Ben Arfa’s failure “It bugged psychologically a long time ago, in his childhood. He was the king, king, king. He was always told his rights but never his duties. When I spotted him and his parents trusted me, I was convinced that I had a player in my possession, if we worked on his mind, which would be a future Ballon d’Or, he had so much talent. It will remain a huge mess, it may be THE mess of 21st century football”. On a potential pressure too young “No, there are plenty of players who were told very early on that they would be pearls. And who were. Cristiano Ronaldo became a huge worker very early on, someone who has always questioned himself. Karim Benzema has done exactly the same journey. These are people who said to themselves that to reach the top, it took work, work, work. And that talent was not enough. But his mentor, Michel Ouazine (his adviser and representative, editor’s note), only told him that talent was enough. On his state of mind “I remember that once in Marseille, Didier Deschamps had put him on the bench. Michel said to me: “He puts him on the bench because he asks him to defend. But we don’t ask a future Ballon d’Or to defend!” And he says that in front of Ben Arfa… It can’t help the boy to grow up. Hatem is 35 today, but he will be 17 his whole life. He’s a child.” On the difference with Benzema”When I took care of the two, in U17, I would go to see them in training. I saw Karim playfully watching Hatem, to see what he was doing. Karim then looking to do it again, and do it again… Thanks to Hatem, Karim, who had understood that he was second behind him, realized that talent was not going to be enough. happened very well. Hatem did not realize it, he thought that talent was enough. And when we look at him today, he is still convinced of it. I am sure that some psychiatrists would break their heads on a character as difficult as that of Hatem”. On the recent skid in Lille “Hatem is a boy who has no filter between the brain and the mouth. There are people who mean everything they say, but who do not say everything they think Hatem is going to tell him everything he thinks, and with force What is reported to us by the press, when he says that his team is playing too low: it is a footballer’s analysis which is perhaps not not false at the moment T. On the other hand, adding: “We are not at Guingamp here”, it is necessarily to want to hurt his trainer who went through Guingamp. And it is intolerable for a locker room, a president, an institution. Again, if he made differences like Mbappé at Paris Saint-Germain… but we are not there in Lille, and we will not be there with the next one. Because there will be a next one. There will always be someone to believe that Hatem is someone manageable and to take up the challenge”. To sum up Frédéric Guerra, the first agent of Hatem Ben Arfa, did not hide his dismay after the new controversy involving the player. Worse, he feels that ‘HBA’ has remained a child and could well be the great footballing mess of the 21st century.
