It’s done. Emilien, candidate in The 12 strokes of noon is on the second step of the podium and became this afternoon (Thursday April 11), the second greatest Master of Midi in the history of the game of Jean-Luc Reichmann. The young man, 21 years old and still a student, overtook Eric. The latter was on set from the start of the show alongside Jean-Luc Reichmann and he did not hesitate to say all the good things he thought of his successor.
The TF1 host then asked the former champion what he thought of the current Maître de midi and his career: “I followed Emilien’s journey, it is too strong and complete. He has all the weapons to go very far” began the man of Breton origin.
The advice given by Eric to Emilien
Questioned by the man who plays Léo Mattéï, in the series of the same name, Eric gave valuable advice to Emilien, who recently experienced a mishap with one of the gifts won in the show. “The main advice is to always stay focused. It’s up to him to do the rest and continue working.”
The History student was very touched by the words of his elder, not failing to return the compliments and expressing all the good and respect he had for Eric and his career.
Emilien revealed that like him, he made revision sheets. “JI try to work like Eric and Bruno were able to do” he explained. While remaining cautious because “nothing is ever acquired. You have to be careful all the time” concluded the Vendéen.
As of tomorrow, Emilien will reach the symbolic mark of 200 participations with his sights set on first place. His next goal is to reach 252 participations in order to beat champion Bruno Hourcade.
