The France midfielder has stressed that there was no war in France squad and reports claiming tensions within Laurent Blanc’s team are mere speculations
Yohan Cabaye was the best player for France in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032 and the Frenchman had a good personal tournament despite his side’s failure to get through the quarter-final stages.
The Newcastle midfielder received praise from footballing circles across Europe after some good displays for the national side. EURO 2012 was the first international tournament for the Newcastle United man and the player did not let his inexperience halt
his progress and performed brilliantly in the tournament.
However, the 26-year-old feels that there is still much room for improvement. While talking to reporters, Cabaye expressed his delight at representing his country in a competition of this level.
"I think that the Euros were positive on a personal level. To represent the country for me is very important."
Cabaye said that players were gutted to lose the match against Sweden, a result that set up a semi-final clash against the reigning champions. However, the France international stated that there were still no guarantees that Les Bleus would have beaten the
Italians had they faced them instead of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 squad despite media claiming otherwise. The former Lille midfielder stressed that such news has no truth behind it and there was no war in the squad.
The Newcastle United midfielder admitted that players were upset after the Sweden loss but it was a minor thing and players settled their differences.
“There was no war in the squad. There were some upset players (after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sweden-c3015 loss), but we've talked, it is over," Cabaye revealed.
Contrary to what press has been claiming, Cabaye stressed that nothing happened between http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Samir-Nasri-c32360 and Olivier Giroud. On question of his club team-mate Hatem Ben Arfa, Cabaye said that his fellow countryman is a difficult person to deal with but was in
good morale when Cabaye last met him.
"Nothing ever happened between (Olivier) Giroud and (Samir) Nasri. None of it is true. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hatem-Ben-Arfa-c15884 isn't always easy. I left him yesterday and his morale was good.”
Yohan Cabaye said that all players respect each other and there are no rifts between them and are looking forward to France’s World Cup qualifiers.
