In a video posted on Instagram, the former captain of the France team Patrice Evra shoots red balls on Noël Le Graët.
He accuses the president of the FFF of playing the ostrich face the problems of racism in football and of telling “bullshit”.
"Christmas, you know very well what is going on at the castle (in Clairefontaine, residence of the Blues), how many racist letters we receive:"
Didier takes back your monkeys and leaves Africa, get out with your monkeys and your gorillas
".
We hide them so that the players don't see them, but I've seen them.
We even get boxes filled with poop, ”says the former Manchester United player, now retired.
"When there was a photo of the president, it was better to see a Hugo Lloris and a Laurent Koscielny rather than a Mamadou Sakho or a Bacary Sagna"

Last September 16, Noël Le Graët declared on
BFM Business
that racism "in sport and football in particular does not exist or hardly exists".
“In a match, there may be gaps, but overall, we have less than 1% of difficulties.
There have been but you know, when a black scores a goal, the whole stadium is on its feet.
The racist phenomenon in sport and in football in particular does not exist, or hardly exists, ”added the president of the FFF.
Words that visibly shocked Patrice Evra.
“I lost my respect for you (…) And yet, you are not racist,” continues the former French defender.

The 2016 European vice-champion goes further in his accusations by evoking the life of the Blues when he frequented Clairefontaine.
“When we eat, we have allocated seats, we are used to sitting next to this guy because we have good relations etc.
Every time the President (of the Republic) came or politicians, everything changed.
I was sitting there and all of a sudden I was at the end of the table.
Where normally, there was Mamadou Sakho or Bacary Sagna, a lot of gloom, it was necessary to change.
We put a Hugo Lloris and a Laurent Koscielny and the president in the middle.
We knew it, it was the rules of the game, we are in France, we are not at home.
But when there was a photo of the president, it was better to see a Hugo Lloris and a Laurent Koscielny rather than a Mamadou Sakho or a Bacary Sagna, ”says Patrice Evra.
"Especially the French players do not like this video otherwise, more selection", continues the retiree who treats Noël Le Graët of "calimero with two balls".
“At 79 years we have to go.
Are you not going to have the courage to represent yourself (in the elections)? ”He asks.
