“They are playing a fucking World Cup final, not us! “, immersed in the locker room of the Blues

“Everything that is said, everything that happens in the locker room, does not leave the locker room.

Never !

".

This verse, all players and coaches in the world make it a priority.

Except that we are in 2022 and the secret no longer exists.

Everything is reproduced, filmed, communicated.

Even the intimacy of the Blues during the World Cup is delivered to the public.

This December 20, barely 48 hours after the final against Argentina, TF1 offered a documentary "Thank you les Bleus" commented by Denis Brogniart.

Thanks to the images provided by the FFF, millions of viewers entered the hotel, the rooms, the training ground and especially the locker room of the French team.

Everything has certainly not been said.

The documentary thus passed quickly on the package of Karim Benzema.

No image of his departure in the middle of the night.

Never mind.

We made little mice to listen to the speeches of Didier Deschamps.

Like the first before the match against Australia: “I have great confidence in you.

We're there and you know what you have to do,” recalls the boss.

Quickly, we realize that in the France team, there is not one but leaders who speak.

Olivier Giroud, Hugo Lloris the captain, Raphaël Varane, Antoine Griezmann or Steve Mandanda as locker room leader put their two cents in: "As soon as we relax, we get screwed," said the Stade Rennes goalkeeper at half-time .

We only have to put the third one.

At the break, France leads 2-1.

She wins 4-1 when Presnel Kimpembe, injured comes to hug everyone.

Young people are discreet.

In front of the cameras, no one flinches.

They catch up at the hotel during the games of Uno,

After the victory against Denmark, Kylian Mbappé hitherto silent says that it "was hot".

After the hiccup against Tunisia (0-1), Deschamps, who rotated his squad, recalls a simple rule: “We won at twenty-four.

We just lost at twenty-four too.

We win together, we lose together, another basic rule.

There was joy in the locker room of the Blues.

Except the last day.

Place in knockout matches.

It starts in 8th with Poland.

By putting on his laces, Giroud in good taulier shouts: “Do not forget all the sacrifices we made to be there, insists the top scorer of the Blues.

It is up to us to write our history.

We are proud of this shirt and we have to show it”.

Raphaël Varane echoes: “Well said.

But now the truth is the field.

Everyone is listening.

Didier Deschamps takes the 100 steps.

“We started well but we started to purr again, he claims at the break (1-0).

Oh, be dynamic in the passes guys!

It won't fall from the sky” Angry in a corner, Varane yells: “Guys, since when do we look at others?

Do we lose two balls and lower our heads?

Nope !

We lead 1-0 but we are not there.

I don't like to talk like that but it annoys me.

The speech is: France with a magical Mbappé wins 3-1.

"Freed From Desire" turns the room into a nightclub.

And then there is the formidable England.

"It's up to you guys," said Deschamps, recalling a few tactical rules. "Together until the last minute," said Giroud.

Giroud, Varane, Griezmann talk… “We don't do everything well but it's good” rejoices DD at the break when the Blues lead 1-0 before winning 2-1.

“Half, half!!

sing the players as they enter their holy of holies which is no longer a sanctuary, still to the sound of their anthem.

Lilian Thuram arrives by offering a free defender lesson to Aurélien Tchouaméni.

Morocco in half?

“We have to do even better, find discrepancies.

We don't get angry” summarizes Deschamps before a tactical master in front of the screen.

Message heard: France is in the final.

" Whore!

Mbappé yells several times as he opens the door.

Here are the Blues in the final and Argentina.

The first period is catastrophic, the Blues are out of the game.

Deschamps's speech at the break, banging his fist on the table when everything is going badly impresses “I tell you without getting upset: you know the difference?

They are playing a fucking World Cup final.

Not us, ”says the coach.

Mbappé for once also speaks, annoyed: "We can't do worse: we continue to play stupid and we let them do it?

It's a World Cup final!

They scored two goals, we must score two in our turn » We know the rest.

The documentary ends when Deschamps, tremolos in his voice, thanks his players, dejected.

The coach is struggling to take the hit.
