As we revealed from April 1, TF1 and M 6, co-broadcasters of the Blues matches, will jointly broadcast on May 18 the announcement of Didier Deschamps' list for the Euro (June 11-July 11). Even if certain modalities have not yet been fully decided, the two journalists in charge of questioning the coach are now chosen. According to a source close to one of the two channels, it is Nathalie Iannetta for TF1 and Marie Portolano for M 6. They will be reunited with the boss of the Blues on the same plateau in order to collect his first explanations.
After spending nearly 20 years at Canal +, Nathalie Iannetta has been participating in the Téléfoot program since fall 2019 as an editorial writer. She also presents “TF1, Rendez-vous Sport” every Sunday evening at 8:40 pm, alternating with Marion Jollès. As for Marie Portolano, director of the punchy documentary "I am not a slut, I am a journalist" on sexism in sports journalism, she left, a few weeks ago, Canal +, where she was a columnist for " Canal Football Club ”and presented“ Canal Sports Club ”to join M 6 to host season 10 of the program“ Le Meilleur pâtissier ”.
TF1 and M 6 have agreed to organize the announcement of the list around their respective news.
That of M 6, the
19:45
presented by Xavier de Moulins, and the 20 hours of TF1 of Gilles Bouleau will switch simultaneously, around 20:20, on the enumeration of 23 names or more.
Indeed, UEFA could decide in the coming days to allow each selection to retain 25 or 26 players.
This is a solution designed to cushion the impact of possible cases of Covid during the competition.

The two channels hold the unencrypted rights to the competition for a sum of 50 million euros, or 25 million each.
