VIDEO. Lack of naturalness, choice of players ... the message of the Blues to students react

In a video entitled "Message from the French football team to the students of France" and shared on Twitter by the Minister of National Education, Youth and Sports Jean-Michel Blanquer, nine players from the French team France deliver a unifying message to young schoolchildren in France.

And also pay tribute to Samuel Paty - history and geo teacher beheaded in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine on October 16 - two days before the next school year.

But the initiative has strongly reacted on social networks.

"Not enough Blacks" for some, "absence of emblematic players (Mbappé, Pogba, Kimpembe)" or "not representative of France" for others.

The lack of naturalness in reading the text is also much mocked.

For the French Football Federation (FFF), “It's a video that was shot in an emergency, and according to the tight schedules of players sometimes engaged in the Champions League or the Europa League.

No player refused to participate, and everyone was contacted to do so.

There is no controversy to be found there.
