The position taken by the players of the French national team against the National Rally Of Marine Le Pen shows no signs of abating. Yesterday, in fact, it was Marcus Thuram who took a stand – after Ousmane Dembelé – against the party chaired by Jordan Bardella. During the press conference on the eve of tomorrow evening’s match againstAustria which will mark the start of the journey to Europeans from the France, Kylian Mbappeshipping star and new purchase of real Madriddecided to join the stance of his companions: “We are at a crucial moment in the country’s history and we need to see our priorities. We are citizens first and foremost, we must not be disconnected from the world. We find ourselves in an unprecedented situation. I want to address all French people and especially young people: we see that extremists are at the gates of power. We have the possibility to change everything and we must identify with the values of tolerance, respect and diversity. Every voice counts. I share the same values as Marcus, I’m on his side. I am against ideas that divide and it is certain that I am with him. For me, he didn’t make a mistake, there is freedom of expression here. I hope that my voice will spread as much as possible, that we will make the right choice and that we will be proud to wear this shirt again on July 7th“.
A clear and clear position which, apparently, is endorsed by the entire team – without exception – involved in Germanyconsidering that also the technical commissioner Didier Deschamps he exposed himself firsthand. Yesterday evening, after Thuram’s words, the French Football Federation he had asked to “avoid any form of pressure and political use of the French team” in view of elections. The FFF also stated that it is “very attached to freedom of expression” is that “adheres to the necessary invitation to vote but hopes that its neutrality will be understood and respected by all, as well as that of the selection“.
Again during today’s press conference, after having shifted attention to the match against Austria, Mbappé wanted to return to the topic again using as an excuse the match scheduled for 9pm at the “Merkur Spiel-Arena” in Dusseldorf: “Tomorrow’s match is very important but there is a situation that is even more important. This (the elections, ed.) has not prevented us from preparing tomorrow’s match well.
Of course it’s a different situation but we are great players and we have to adapt“. The French national team, therefore, has taken a position in its entirety. It will be the French citizens, first on June 30th and then on July 7th, who will decide which side to take and whether to accept this invitation to vote.
