Chelsea winger Florent Malouda blames the negativity around the France squad for their World Cup failure.
Unlike at their clubs, the players did not find ideal conditions when playing for France, Malouda told weekly L'Equipe Magazine.
"It's the failure of a system that led to the debacle," said the Chelsea winger. "The players who play for Chelsea, Barcelona, (Bayern) Munich or (Olympique) Lyon need a high-level environment to blossom.
"It was difficult for me to accept the way the national team functioned compared to a great club like Chelsea. Every time I was called up to the national team, it was back to negative stories and bad vibes."
