Eric Carrière (49) will put an end to his consulting activities for Canal+ at the end of the season, a year before the end of his contract.
He announced his decision Thursday on Twitter and justified it in an interview with L'Equipe this Friday morning.
The former midfielder of Nantes and Lyon, who will now devote himself exclusively to his wine business, confides his weariness in the face of excesses in football undermined by individualistic behavior.
He cites the recent clash between Frédéric Antonetti and Sylvain Armand as an example and also strongly attacks Kylian Mbappé.
"I know what it's like to take a ball in the face, I often get this photo (of him, his face crushed by the ball during the Europa League match between Lens and Grodzisk in 2005), says -t- he.
It hurts but hey, it's okay.
There, you have guys, they are 1.90 m tall, they walk like that (he imitates a player sticking out his chest) and you barely touch them, they stay on the ground.
Kimpembe is very strong but he will put boxes and as soon as he takes a little hit, it's the end of the world!
“Before pointing out the state of mind of Kylian Mbappé: “I also don't want to see Mbappé turn to the public and raise his arms because Danilo does not put the right ball to him.
This is not good behavior.
All the bad attitudes that are allowed to pass, which are authorized, come to pollute this team spirit.
Individualism,
it's super contagious.

“We are no longer in joint sports!
»
Eric Carrière particularly regrets the recent boycott of Mbappé towards certain sponsors of the France team.
“We are no longer in co sport, he laments.
It's like Guy Roux, whom I met in Lens and who put straps on the logo of the club's equipment supplier because he wanted his own personal contract.
individualistic behavior.
To say that the money earned by the Fed will not be donated to amateur football... It's much more complicated than that.
Professional money that goes to the amateur world, there is some, it could be better but there, it's a bit like
me, I'm on top and the Fed, it's not going well
”.
The former Nantes player then adds: “It is also one of the elements that lead me to stop, it is that we cannot say what we think of the players.
I'm sorry but Mbappé is condescending to his opponents.
He is better, faster and sometimes the others foul him out of clumsiness.
And I am told that he has been irreproachable since the start of the season.
Proof that no.
