We write this article quickly, for fear that the situation will change again: the French team will come to greet its supporters this Monday evening at Place de la Concorde around 8:30 p.m., shortly after landing at Roissy airport, from Qatar .
The French Football Federation (FFF) confirmed this at the start of the afternoon, after a morning rich in information and counter-information, with its president Noël Le Graët in a lost GO.
Little flashback: guest of 7:50 am on France Inter, the Minister of Sports and the Olympics Amélie Oudéa-Castéra had mentioned the possibility of seeing the unfortunate finalists of the World Cup, the day before against Argentina, greet their supporters instead of the Concorde, in the absence of the Champs-Elysées, reserved for great victories.
Not at all, his “best friend” Noël Le Graët said a little later on BFM TV.
“The players prefer to go home tonight.
They are very grateful to the public.
They are not in the mood to walk on the Champs or elsewhere, ”assured the president of the FFF at the time.
The FFF denies the information of its boss
New change, about an hour later, on the initiative of the… FFF itself.
In a message sent to the press, the Federation let it be known: the Blues “will greet their audience at Place de la Concorde, in Paris, around 8:30 p.m.
“According to the Fédé, Noël Le Graët, who returned to Paris earlier than the Blues, was not aware of the decision of the players and the management to come and celebrate their journey with their fans.
While he dreamed a few hours earlier of a second world title in a row and a period of respite in the heart of a busy extra-sporting news, here is the Breton leader again in the eye of the storm.
