Yoann Gourcuff seems to have swapped the round ball for… the little yellow ball. Indeed, the former footballer has not walked on a lawn for almost three years. However, he plays tennis matches with the Larmor-Plage club in the Men’s Regional as revealed by our colleagues from Telegram. This racket enthusiast won a great victory a few days ago.
You should know that the dad of Claudia and Maël hesitated between embracing a career in football or in tennis. After 20 years in the professional world, he decided to reconnect with his first love.
Life in Brittany
In a relationship for ten years and married in 2019, the two lovebirds live near Lorient (Brittany), the region where the ex-footballer is from. “At a time when we reveal a lot of things and where we show everything, it’s true that we are rather very discreet with Yoann, and very modest. So yes, it’s a big first, we don’t never opened the doors of our house”, dropped the host last October in front of the cameras of 50min Inside on TF1. “I’m from here, even if I left very young for a training center. But yes, I’m from the area, it’s a bit like my roots, and I like being here”, explained the ex-star of the France team. “I knew absolutely nothing about Brittany, and I got married to a Breton, so I then got to know Brittany, and it’s true that I’m very attached to it. It’s authentic”, resumed his wife. “When Yoann was on the field and playing football, it was important for me to be close to him, to accompany him. So we were always very cool with regard to the schedules of the one and the other, and then career choices. I think that’s love.”
