France team leaves training early: Chaos in Les Bleus camp

The French team’s training session today in South Africa came to an abrupt halt.

Coach Raymond Domenech had a fight with team captain Patrice Evra and fitness coach Robert Duverne.

At the end of the talk, Duverne threw his accreditation down. Right after this, the players have started heading for the bus and back to the hotel, where they regrouped.

Domenech seems to have lost control of the situation almost completely, after the French team has very few chances of advancing to the knockout stage of World Cup 2010 in South Africa.

To add insult to injury, Jean Louis Valentin, the director of the French Football Federation, has announced his resignation, saying that he was disgusted and that this situation is for the whole team, country and federation and they won’t be a part of it. He refused to accept this.

Many think that the cause of the scandal is Domenech’s decision to send Nicholas Anelka home. The striker gave Domenech a piece of his mind after the last game.
