Florian Thauvin was greeted like a rock star this week at the airport in Monterrey, Mexico, where he will now play.
Recruited by the Tigers, André-Pierre Gignac's team, the former Marseillais was presented to the public in his new garden and in front of local supporters.
But all did not go as planned for the 2018 world champion who obviously had some difficulties with the ball between his feet on the lawn.
For a few hours, a video sequence has been looping on social networks showing the left-hander showing great clumsiness in a series of juggles.
While he is rightly considered a very technical player with a formidable touch of the ball allowing him to deliver passes to the millimeter, Thauvin let the ball escape him three times ...
Dembélé also had some problems with his juggling
That the fans of the Tigers be reassured. There is nothing exceptional about this kind of little hiccup occurring during a presentation. Other famous players before him were overcome by emotion and disturbed in their will to want to do too well. This was particularly the case of Ousmane Dembélé, little to his advantage in the middle of the monumental Camp Nou after his transfer to FC Barcelona in 2017. Since then, the wisp has convinced the Catalan supporters of his agility with the ball between the feet.
