This Sunday, November 20 started off badly for the French team with the announcement of Karim Benzema’s package. The Ballon d’Or forced to throw in the towel due to injuries! A big blow for the players and Didier Deschamps as the World Cup in Qatar begins that same day, in difficult conditions between calls for a boycott and controversy. But in this slump, unexpected news can nonetheless make you smile, as our colleagues from “Parisien” reveal, thanks to the documentary “Les Bleus et l’Elysée” directed by Mohamed Bouhafsi and which will be broadcast this Sunday, November 20 at 8:55 p.m. on France 5 . What is it about ? Well quite simply from a message that the President of the Republic had sent to our players before their departure for Doha. With a promise at stake in the event of a third victory! Didier Deschamps and his 25 players. Football fan, and even supporter of OM, Emmanuel Macron remembered well the huge outcry that had caused the last descent of the Parisian avenue of the Blues after their victory in 2018. A tour by double-decker bus which only lasted about ten minutes before reaching the Elysée Palace!
“We were disgusted, we are sorry”
Came especially for the occasion on the most beautiful avenue in the world, thousands of fans had not hidden their great disappointment in front of such a fast show. Even the world champions had been bruised, like Paul Pogba who then confided on the airwaves of “RMC Sports”, September 5, 2018: “We were disgusted not to really spend this important moment with the supporters and these people who traveled to Paris to see us, to celebrate with us. Ten, fifteen minutes is really fast. We were disgusted, we are sorry”, then assured the player, to respond to criticism. Today, Emmanuel Macron is counting not only on the victory of the national team, but also on a real celebration of the event. For the time being, if the Head of State is not expected to travel to Qatar, he has assured that he will not miss any of the matches!
