Incredible decision of a very well known French player Author: Sport.ro Monday October 28, 2019, 1:12 pm He was the "new Zidane" and played in the national team of France, but now he has switched to TENIS! Unbelievable decision of a well known French player The Frenchman has been free of contract since January 2019 and is attempting a professional conversion. Former French international Yoann Gourcuff, a player who has remained free of contract, after signing his contract with Dijon in January 2019, has obtained a license to play tennis in professional competitions.
