Eric Zemmour was invited this Tuesday, November 2 in the new program of Pierre Ménès, Pierrot le foot. The potential presidential candidate described his vision for modern football. He believes that the latter is less popular today, and that since the Bosman judgment (1995), money has been the only lever for success.
Eager to review quotas, Zemmour remembers the Greens to convince his audience: “In the great Saint-Etienne team, there were two foreign players. We knew them. There was Osvaldo Piazza the Argentinian and there was Ivan Curkovic the Yugoslav. At the time, Yugoslavia existed. And all the others were French players. First of all, it made it possible to have a real pool of players in each country, they were not replaced, overwhelmed by foreign players who were bought from everywhere. “
“I know Platini tried”
He then adds that this leads “A real balance, that is to say that it was not the richest clubs that bought all the best players, which is happening today, and suddenly matches and competitions are always played between the same clubs. “
“I would hand over quotas for foreign players”, before concluding : “I know Platini tried when he was UEFA president and he failed. I know it’s doomed to fail, but I’m telling you that’s what I would ideally like ”. As usual, Eric Zemmour will once again be talked about after these statements.
