Harassment of William Gallas, the 'unworthy captain'

Gallas is in the spotlight of the English press, which it believes "unworthy" of taking the armband for Arsenal in their criticism of peers.

French international defender William Gallas is the subject of strong criticism in England, where he is deemed unworthy to wear the captain's armband for Arsenal for criticizing his fellow squad. The rebuke could convince the relevance of a forthcoming return to French football. For now, Wenger has not convened for the game against Manchester City.

The praise after the victory over Manchester United on November 8 (2-1) barely have lasted. Gallas, 31, then committed the mistake of criticizing his colleagues, censoring his "lack of experience" at a press conference with the French selection. He said that as captain of Arsenal took him all the criticism.

The British have also been affected by the recent story of an altercation with the Dutchman Robin van Persie on October 29, in the rest of the game against Tottenham (4-4). While not citing the striker, his colleagues are not willing to forgive the violation of the sacrosanct 'secret costume. "

On the same day that France appears in his autobiography (in which he faces another player, this time from the French selection), the British press has been thrown over whom the 'Daily Telegraph' called "weeping in the series, unworthy the bracelet. " "Gallas is playing a leading role in the downfall of Arsenal," apostille the 'Evening Standard'.

According to a poll on the Internet portal of the BBC, more than two thirds of Internet users believe that the French should be stripped of the captaincy he inherited after the departure of Thierry Henry in the summer of 2007.

Paragraph of the team

The groups of fans' Gunners' does not lag behind and ask their members who would be the best successor to the captaincy, the 'candidates' Kolo Toure, Gaël Clichy and Cesc Fabregas.

The verdict of the coach Arsène Wenger has not materialized in the case of the captaincy, but after speaking with the player in the tense training on Friday, decided not to convene for the Manchester trip, where Arsenal will seek to return to the path of the victories against the City.

But Gallas will not be able to find much support in the dressing room. Last year criticized publicly by Theo Walcott. In February, ostensibly gestures on the field after a penalty awarded by Clichy who was the draw of Birmingham at the end of the match.

His mood swings, as their frequent kicks rabies advertising panels are judged more as a sign of immaturity that motivation.

To make matters worse, Gallas, who has recently paid a fine for his club after being photographed leaving a nightclub, you can not feel protected by their very mediocre performance since the start of the season, as evidenced by its responsibility for the second goal of Aston Villa last week (2-1).

All these circumstances could compel Gallar reflect on the occasion of a return faster than expected in France, where only Marseille, Lyon, PSG and Bordeaux may be able to cope with their 'Cache'. The leaders of the Parisian club seem interested.
