“I have no message to convey”
“I have no message to convey”Clauss said on Sunday in Clairefontaine, where he was asked about the possibility of receiving a hostile reception for Pierre-Mauroy. “I have the France team jersey on my back, if I’m not whistled so much the better, it will help me. But if I am, ok, that’s how it is”he replied at a press conference.
The Lensois visual with the France team jersey, hung by the French Football Federation on the forecourt of the Villeneuve-d’Ascq stadium, has been tagged in the night from Monday to Tuesday, with messages like “F… ck Lens” or “Lensois de m… de”. The image was replaced during the day and a security guard was posted in front in the early evening, AFP journalists noted.
