As part of Operation Yellow Pieces, Emmanuel Macron took part in a friendly match with former 98 world champions.
On the Plaisir field (Yvelines), President Emmanuel Macron wet his jersey for Operation Yellow Pieces, Wednesday April 24. When he lost the ball, the head of state, positioned in the middle of the field, started pressing, directed the game and even attempted a technical gesture without success. Alongside the 98 world champions Laurent Blanc, Didier Deschamps, Robert Pirès and Marcel Dessailly, Emmanuel Macron came to support the association of the Blues coach, sponsor of the Yellow Pieces.
A penalty goal
Brigitte Macron also made the trip for the Hospital Federation. This was an opportunity to take a family photo. Upon returning from the locker room, the head of state’s efforts finally paid off. After a foul is called in the penalty area, the referee designates the penalty spot. Emmanuel Macron decides to take charge of it. The ball ends up in the back of the net.
