Ex-PSG coach Blanc: I could never forgive Spurs fullback Aurier

Former PSG coach Laurent Blanc admits he found the Periscope antics of Serge Aurier unforgivable before he was sold to Tottenham.

Blanc admits their relationship was over after Aurier attacked his then PSG coach in a social media rant.

The French coach told beIN Sport: "It's him who broke the relationship, for me it was over and he knows it. After, you cannot fix things anymore. The players think themselves untouchable, the entourage around them makes them think that they are even more untouchable than they think themselves...

"Sometimes, it is necessary to pretend to be someone who lacks grip, but this is not a lacking, it is to be smarter than the player. You make the player believe that he has control over you, but this is not the case."
