The terrorist attack in Paris has left former French international football star Florent Malouda "concerned", his Indian Super League (ISL) franchise manager Roberto Carlos said here today.
The terror attacks in the French capital took place hours before the ISL match between Delhi Dynamos, team which Malouda is part of, and Atletico de Kolkata.
"(Florent) Malouda was concerned when he heard the news but once the game started he focussed on the match," Carlos said.
The 35-year-old Malouda is a UEFA Champions League winner with Chelsea and represented the French national team on 80 occasions, including two World Cups and two European Championships.
Brazilian World Cup winner Carlos talked about the terror attack and termed it awful.
"It was (an) awful incident, innocent people were killed and these kind of incidents should not happen."

The Dynamos' marquee manager cum player Carlos was involved in an incident with Atletico de Kolkata's Spanish midfielder Valmiro Lopes Rocha just after the match here today.
As the final whistle was blown after the match ended 1-1, Carlos and Valmiro Lopes Rocha got involved in an argument at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.
ATK coach Antinio Habas said during the post-match press conference that he knew nothing about it while Carlos confirmed it, though he called it a minor incident.
"I think Valdo (Valmiro) was remembering a past incident which happened 12 years ago when he was playing for Osasuana (La Liga club) and I was playing for Real Madrid. That was why he was a bit aggressive.
"But it was a minor incident and nothing happened. I forgive him for the incident. I had even apologised to him when that incident happened. He is a nice guy and he grew up with me at Real Madrid," Carlos said.
