Bonus lure 'Too High a' for France

The French players awaited bonus "well" if managed to win the Euro in 2012. The number is even touted as the greatest of the lure of the other team. In the two previous major tournaments that followed, the French appear far from satisfactory. European Cup in 2008 and 2010 World Cup, Les Bleus had run aground in the group phase.

 
In order to achieve better performance, the French Football Federation (FFF) was mengimingi bonus for a total of 320 thousand euros (USD 3.79 billion) per player if it manages to appear to be champions. With a team containing 23 players and coupled with the coaching staff and team of staff, also predicted overall FFF must spend 7.5 million euros (USD 88.8 billion) as a bonus. The bonus number is predicted to be the greatest among other Euro teams. Britain, for example, who would become France's first opponent on 11 June, in which the players "only" will receive 125 thousand euros (1.45 billion USD) per person if a champion. The number of lure that can not be exceeded also the German national team that is ready to disburse bonus of 300 thousand euros (USD 3.5 billion) per player, or an increase of 50 thousand euro of which are offered in Euro 2004, also could not exceed the French. France offered its own bonus reap some criticism because it is considered too large. However, the FFF president Noel Le Graet confirmed that these bonuses, which amount has also been negotiated with the senior players such as Patrice Evra and Florent Malouda, still within reasonable limits. "I understand if there is criticism, but if you look at the bonus earned by Chelsea players after winning the Champions League, did not lure us nothing. You should also remember that they (the French players) are abiding taxpayers," said Le Graet in France 24. For details, only the French players will get a bonus total of 320 thousand euros per player if you can steal the trophy. This amount consists of 100 thousand euro bonus if it passes from the group phase, an additional 50 thousand euros if it reached the semifinals, another addition of 70 thousand euros that until the final, and 100 thousand euros if a champion. Conversely, if France again failed to qualify from frup phase, the players would not get a dime. "This is natural in professional football. You must remember this is a bonus and if we failed to qualify from our group will go home empty-handed. This is not something new. This is part of the contract. Most important is our transparent," Malouda straightforward.

Blanc seems to have a compelling reason not to favor his own squad. According to him, Les Bleus did not look too good after a pass in the qualifying round.

"The tactics, there's still work to do. We want to build a way how to play when the ball. Friendly match in November and then failed to help us." "We must improve ball possession. In qualifying, we do well but not after it," added Blanc.
