On the set, a cup that had capsized France the day before, and Michel Hidalgo tanned. On June 28, 1984, the coach of the French football team was the guest of Antenne Midi, the midday newspaper presented by Noël Mamère.
But the coach did not come to the newspaper to speak about him. Even if Hidalgo concedes to have "found players with an exceptional mentality", the victory after which France would run for football belongs to "the players […] they are the real actors".
A victory builds "very slowly", according to the coach of the Blues, after having crossed the stages of "Mondial 78 and Mondial 82". Difficulties that had given "winning morale" to the team led by Michel Platini.
