Gourcuff “not paying attention” to Blanc's selection statement
Posted Tuesday, May 08, 2012 by YAHOO Sport
Yoann Gourcuff responded nonchalantly to France coach Laurent Blanc's recent claims that the Olympique Lyonnais player had an opportunity to make the Euro 2012 squad.
"I was not aware [of Blanc's statements]. I do not pay too much attention, I focus on football," Gourcuff responded to RMC.
The national team trainer had previously stated on the show Telefoot that despite a difficult year for the 25-year-old, there may be "small chance" for him to make his 23-man squad.
"It is my passion, this is where I put my energy and I'm enjoying myself," he said. "The hope is to be on the pitch, earn playing time and have fun, that's all."
Gourcuff has made just 11 league appearances for Lyon this season as the club missed out on Champions League qualification from Ligue 1.
