In the splash zone
We’ve discussed the weird sexual energy of the French national team before: Franck Ribery’s brothel trips, the time Karim Benzema blackmailed a teammate over a sex tape, to name just two instances.
The latest example is a video filmed by Arsenal defender William Saliba while on international duty with one of France’s age group teams.
The clip shows Saliba in his France tracksuit, on a sofa next to a guy who is completely naked and masturbating while watching something (porn) on his phone. Two other team mates are sitting on the other side of him, both fully dressed in their national team tracksuits, and acting like nothing is happening.
The whole thing is filmed by Saliba on his phone’s selfie camera but has somehow ended up on Twitter, where someone has captioned it: “Saliba in the splash zone“.
So yeah, bit of a weird one. Is it some kind of “soggy biscuit” initiation? Or just what counts as a good time these days? The French Football Federation is investigating.
