, confident in particular that the businessman wanted to rely on him in the case of educators with young people.

“My very good friend Pascal Olmeta, who is also alongside Michel Moulin, told me that we had to do something for the little ones.

Barthez wants to get involved in supporting educators with Michel Moulin

Barthez affirms in particular that the affair of the Luzenac club, which he supported and who was refused the rise in Ligue 2 in 2014, deeply marked him.

What he sees as an injustice is at the root of his current engagement.

“I would have preferred to keep my innocence as a footballer than to live it.

Seeing players in trouble, a club on the verge of disappearance shocked me.

The world of football has abandoned us.

Instead of helping this amateur club to solve its problems so that the players reach the next level, what have we done?

Nothing ”, regrets the native of Lavelanet, 49 years old.

"I have nothing against the federation but, basically, I see the same story as Luzenac: we prevent a guy from playing football."

The former tricolor with 87 selections also lined up behind the position of Michel Moulin concerning Karim Benzema that Deschamps has not called since October 2015. An incomprehensible situation for Barthez who sent a spade to Noël Le Graët and the coach without quote them.

“I have nothing against the Federation, but basically I see the same story as Luzenac: we prevent a guy from playing football.

He did what he did, but who never made a mistake?

We all made them, me first, they have to be used for something. "
