Blanc reproaches Nasri for rant

FRANCE coach Laurent Blanc criticized Samir Nasri yesterday for showing a "lack of respect" after the midfielder aimed an expletive-laced rant at a journalist following the team's 0-2 defeat to Spain in the European Championship quarterfinals.

Nasri was walking through the post-match interview area when the heated exchange took place after the journalist asked him for a reaction to Saturday's defeat. Reports said that as the dispute escalated, Nasri challenged the journalist to take their argument further.

"It's a lack of respect toward the journalist," Blanc said on French football show Telefoot. "I told (Nasri) what I thought of it and what I would have done in his place."
