"Where is Ljubicic?" Benoît Maylin's anger after the French team's Davis Cup fiasco
The fiasco of the French team at the Davis Cup Final 8 against Belgium (2-0) continues to cause shockwaves. But this time, it's neither a player nor a coach who lit the fuse: it's Benoît Maylin, a journalist known for his outspokenness, who blew his top.
"Where is Ljubicic? Where is the National Technical Director? Where is the president of the Federation? Where are you to explain this fiasco and what happened at the Games? It drives me crazy. We will never move forward. The soup is good and it's not vermicelli."
A frontal accusation. For Maylin, the failure of the French team is not only sporting: it's a failure of governance, explanation, and leadership.
