Author of superb performances with Rennes, Martin Terrier did not play in the World Cup in Qatar. An incomprehensible decision for the sporting director of the Breton club, Florian Maurice, who did not hesitate to point the finger at the management of the coach of the France team, Didier Deschamps.
Florian Maurice was not kind to Didier Deschamps.
With 23 goals in 41 games, Martin Terrier (25) is in 12th place, with Ciro Immobile, of the top scorers in the five major leagues in 2022. A remarkable performance for the Rennes striker but insufficient to open the doors to him. French team. While the choice to leave him on the floor did little to talk, the sports director of the Breton club, Florian Maurice, decided to draw.
Doubtful criteria?
In an interview with L’Equipe, the ex-scorer attacked the management of Didier Deschamps, whom he accuses of doing his job badly. Dj, you have to come and see them. Maybe we watch them on video, but already, coming to Roazhon Park or when we play outside, I don’t know. (…) I never received a call: ‘Hello Flo, how is Martin (Terrier), how is Bourige (Benjamin Bourigeaud)?’ I find it a little surprising, I don’t know if it sucks to say it or not, but that’s okay launched the former player of Olympique de Marseille.
The 48-year-old man notably took the example of Randal Kolo Muani to materialize his thinking. Kolo Muani for example: very good, he is a very good player, no problem. When I read that he is surfing on last season with Nantes Frankfurt, and that I have a guy in my squad who scored 21 goals last season and another 8 this year in the league, OK. Maybe he (Deschamps) doesn’t like Martin’s profile, or maybe there’s something else and there you have to wonder. deep ruminated the Rennes leader.
The L1, a problem for Deschamps according to Maurice
Without questioning the talent of the Frankfurt striker, Maurice still wondered about the criteria to fulfill to position himself on the radar of the French coach. He was top Kolo Muani, he managed an exceptional entry. I’m not criticizing the level of the player, he’s a great player. But I had heard: yes, to go to the French team, you have to have experience, to have played in the European Cup! Martin Terrier has played all three (C1, C3, C4), so what do you need? asked the Lyonnais.
For Maurice, the manager of the Blues has a deep resentment for the players who evolve in the championship of France. We manage to retain Martin Terrier last summer, who is not going to a Premier League club. And there, what message do you send to French players (playing in France), in fact? Go abroad to play in the French team? This is not necessarily the right message. I do not believe , finished the boss of the sportsman at the SRFC. A hell of a kick in the anthill…
