After Anelka denounced coach Domenech for his improper tactics, he was expelled from the French team. It doesn't really matter what disrespectful words Anelka said to Domenech. The most critical issue is that the factional struggle within the team is fierce and the coach has no majesty and ability to control the situation.

As a result, before the last group match, the French team refused to train, and then all the players signed a notice to express their dissatisfaction with the team's expulsion of Alnell, and expressed their support in the form of a training strike. Later, coach Domenech announced that the players might refuse to participate in the last group match.
