LE SCAN SPORT – The film on one of the most controversial players on the French team will be available from August 5.
“What really happened? I would love to answer, but I have my film coming out in not too long, in two or three weeks, and there will be many answers to the descriptions of what happened in South Africa and more generally in my life.” During a live Instagram on June 9, Nicolas Anelka had promised revelations on the Knysna affair and his exclusion from the World Cup after a heated exchange with the coach of the time, Raymond Domenech.
Netflix has just unveiled this Thursday the first images of this highly anticipated documentary, available from August 5. A first trailer of 38 seconds in which there is no mention of the episode of the South African World Cup. Thierry Henry evokes “one of the greatest attackers in history”, Didier Drogba describes a “thin, quick, easy man”, Emmanuel Petit notes “the paradoxes” of his former teammate and his “temper” while Arsène Wenger who had the young striker under his orders before his flight to Real Madrid paints a portrait of an “honest, loyal guy who can be excessive.”
Not a word from Anelka in the trailer
A succession of rather glowing testimonies but not a word from Anelka whose appearances in the media can be counted on the fingers of one hand in recent years and who only intervenes briefly at the end of the sequence facing the camera and in the dark. “Everyone knows their name. Few really know him, “sums up the American broadcasting platform that dubbed his documentary:” Anelka, the misunderstood “. For the revelations, it will therefore have to wait another three weeks.
