Hatem Ben Arfa has a reputation of one of the most talented players ever to play the game, but also as one of the least professional and sensible guys in the game. The veteran French midfielder again made the headlines for the wrong reasons after getting into a heated argument with his coach Jocelyn Gourvennec – with the entire first-team squad present.It’s never a good idea to confront your boss in such a manner, but Ben Arfa has never been the one to do the right thing when it’s required. This time, the 35-year-old journeyman was so annoyed for only getting off the subs’ bench on 78 minutes of his team’s goalless draw with Bordeaux, the worst team in Ligue 1.Hatem Ben Arfa (©AFP)French TV station Telefoot reported on Sunday morning that “the walls of Lille’s dressing room were shaking” in the wake of the disappointing result. Ben Arfa openly questioned his coach’s decisions in front of his teammates.Reporters tried to get a scoop off Lille’s captain Jose Fonte, but the Portuguese played the incident down, saying that it’s normal.”Yes, it was a bit hot in there. But that is normal when you don’t win a match you were required to. It’s always difficult after a bad result, but we all have to take responsibility. There is always tension because everyone wants to win.”🎂 Happy birthday, Hatem Ben Arfa 🥳Who remembers this outrageous solo goal? 😍 pic.twitter.com/kcqnNiLNNS— Premier League (@premierleague) March 7, 2022 Ben Arfa joined the champions of France in January and made seven appearances – but he didn’t play any of those matches in their entirety. It must have hurt the former Paris Saint-Germain player’s ego and he chose to take it out on the coach.LIGUE 1 – ROUND 30 Saturday Nice – Renne 1-1 (0-0)/Delort 67- Terrier 78/LOSC Lille – Girondins de Bordeaux 0-0Sunday Strasbourg – Lens x-x (0-0)/Ajorque 67 pen/16.00: (3.60) Saint-Etienne (3.10) Olympique Marseille (2.20)16.00: (7.25) Metz (4.10) Monaco (1.55)16.00: (2.10) Montpellier (3.50) Brest (3.80)16.00: (2.70) Clermont (3.05) Nantes (3.05)16.00: (2.55) Troyes (3.00) Reims (3.30)18.05: (1.40) Olympique Lyon (4.50) Angers (8.50)21.45: (1.23) PSG (7.00) Lorient (14.0)*** odds are subject to change
