Patrick Vieira supports the commitment of Griezmann and Mbappé

Nice coach and 1998 world champion Patrick Vieira on Saturday condemned the beating in Paris by police officers of a music producer, siding with current internationals Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappé.

“Such facts are shocking, sad at the same time and unacceptable,” said Vieira during the press briefing for the Nice-Dijon match, played on Sunday.

“We will always be wrong”

Griezmann and Mbappé reacted very quickly and strongly after the broadcast, in a video from the Loopsider site, of the beating of the producer, exposing himself to criticism.

“We reproach footballers for not expressing themselves outside our framework, and there we are criticized for doing so. Whatever happens, we will always be wrong, ”Vieira explained.

The Nice coach had taken over in mid-October Noël Le Graët, the president of the French Football Federation (FFF) after his assertion of a “football without or with little racism”. The two men had explained over the phone “between adults and with respect”, according to Vieira, who had revealed the persistence of discrepancies between their findings.
