“I was not on the Champs, I'm not crazy, but I could have because my heart is Franco-Moroccan, even if I hope for a victory for France”
says Elie Semoun.
He adds:
“In my mind, the Moroccans have already won, it's no use for them to win again”
.
His prediction for the match that will qualify one of the two teams in the final:
“2-1 for France.
The Moroccans are not going to let it go, the French either, but will the Moroccans have the technique and the coolness of the French?

A thought for his deceased father
The exploit of Morocco carries a whole continent, since it is also the first African selection in history in the semi-finals of the World Cup.
"It's beautiful what's happening.
It's historical, it's poetic”
analyzes Élie Semoun.
He continues:
“I have lots of friends in Morocco who tell me it's madness.
It's a whole people that vibrates.
I find it super beautiful what is happening
.
As a Franco-Moroccan, he grasps the significance of the symbol:
“We all had SOS Racism Pins and now there are young French people, young Moroccans, there is a mixture.
Players from the Morocco team who also work in France
.
He then has a moving thought for his father, who died in 2020, Moroccan by birth:
“He would have been so happy.
I will think of him.
It is true that it made me a little nostalgic and I said to myself “what a pity that he is not there”

To conclude its first part of the show, the “C à vous” team shows the image of a gendarme dancing with supporters.
An initiative that Elie Semoun congratulates:
“It's very good to show an image like that, because there is a little political recovery and we don't like that.
We want it to be joy, it's party time
