Special Envoy in Munich
More fear than harm. And above all a drama that was narrowly avoided. Tuesday evening, two minutes before the kick-off of France-Germany, the Blues, and in particular the bench of substitutes, as well as Didier Deschamps and his staff, experienced a real fright with the unexpected descent of a microlight of GreenPeace in flush with the stands of the Allianz Arena. In the end, two people affected, including an M6 technician and a UEFA official. On the French team, a bump for the coach and simple scratches for Guy Stéphan, hit by one of the debris of the device. “We were very hot,” blows someone close to the selection.
Some players, like Thomas Lemar, even questioned the staff to find out the origin and the contours of the incident. Once the concern had been dissipated, and the day after a solid success in front of Germany, the French clan took advantage of the unprecedented sequence to recover a piece of the ULM engine, some debris of which littered the edge of the field of the Munich lawn. This object, once the Euro is over, will appear in the windows of the French team museum located in Clairefontaine. An unexpected memory.
