French players criticise government over riots
(Adds detail, background)
By Pierre Serisier
FORT DE FRANCE, Martinique, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Top French soccer players, reacting to riots in major cities, have urged authorities to address the problems of disaffected youths growing up in the suburbs.
"I grew up in the suburbs and I feel very close to these youths," said defender Lilian Thuram, the most capped player in France's squad, which is in Martinique to play a friendly match against Costa Rica.
"The situation makes me sick. Nobody is asking the right questions. Nobody is trying to look at the real problems," the 1998 World Cup and 2000 European Championship winner added.
"The main issue is (the youths') insecurity but no one is talking about the best way to give people a job. People are talking about insecurity rather than unemployment."
The protests, blamed on racism and unemployment in rundown suburbs, have spread from Paris's poor suburbs to French towns across the country.
EMERGENCY MEASURES
The French government approved emergency measures on Tuesday allowing curfews to be imposed in riot-hit areas after 12 nights of unrest.
Youths threw Molotov cocktails at police and torched cars in several French cities and towns in a 13th night of violence, ignoring the government's imposition of rarely used emergency laws.
Police said on Wednesday that 573 vehicles were set ablaze across the country overnight, down from 860 the night before. One official said the incidents were sporadic. The number of people detained rose to 204 from 151 the night before.
Several French internationals grew up in Paris suburbs, among them Arsenal striker Thierry Henry, who is with the team in Martinique and told reporters he did not wish to speak about the riots.
Zinedine Zidane, the son of Algerian immigrants who grew up in a tough Marseille district, missed the trip to Martinique because of a groin injury.
"They are trying to convince the public that these people are nothing but rioters... which is not the truth," Thuram said, criticising the government of Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin, which faces a presidential election in 2007.
SEEKING SCAPEGOAT
"Three years ago, there was an election here and insecurity decided the vote. Now another election is looming and insecurity is the number one issue again," he said.
"Actually, they are trying to find a scapegoat as they are unable to find a solution to the job problems," he said.
Olympique Lyon midfielder Florent Malouda said the current situation had been inevitable.
"People in the suburbs are desperate and it was always going to come to this," he said.
"We have reached breaking point," said Malouda's team mate Eric Abidal. "This situation is anything but new and a solution is still to be found."
Abidal, who grew up in Lyon's suburb of La Duchere said: "When I was there, there was a supermarket but the guys there refused to hire people from our neighbourhood. I can understand that people are fed up to see things like that."

thuram unlike alot of footballers is very interested in and well versed on politics and current affairs. i would not be surprised if he goes into politics when his playing days are over. he is right about the media though, they use certain key words that create images in people's minds but they rarely give a background on the entire situation.
-
The commentators love de Costa Rica keeper.
-

that was a nice gesture for France to organize that match in Martinique as a remembrance for the people who died in tha plane crash over Venezuela.
oh and ah see wenger making noise as usual bout letting players go..ah know Henry just come back from injury..but he coulda still be a lil loose bout it.
-
From what they saying, like Henry mother and father from Martnique and Guadeloupe. It seems as though France got a lot of players from that part of the Islands. Fellas, the bottom line is, the islands have real talent, we just have to believe we good enough to achieve great things and that we can cut anybody as%^&S anybody. Ah know the college league here in the US cyah compare with europe and south american ball, but the island players here especially Trinidad and Jamaican players real dominate the game here. We have too much talent back home all we need is good coaching and guidance bredda. ah gone, my two cents...
-
Costa Rica Loss to France 3-2 . Check it out on www.livescore.com. Great game though
-
can someone upload highlights?
-
Allyuh men don't think Robert Pires (from Arsenal) should be recalled to the French team again?
The man is one of the best midfielders in Europe, plus almost like a second striker.
-
Pires cyar make da france side at d moment.................the middle is too full, the onlyway he could make is on the right wing, but he would have to compete with gouvu and the likes
