» Retired from the field since 2014, Mickaël Landreau returned to service to respond to this call launched by a certain @naragua_ on social networks.

The former FC Nantes and PSG goalkeeper, record holder for the number of matches played in Ligue 1, chose to take up the challenge in front of the Canal+ cameras, for which he is now a consultant, in a sequence broadcast on Sunday in Canal Football Club .
A 0 out of 5 for the dad
“He has never played football in his life and says that even in safety shoes, he wears five penalties,” the son specified in his message.
And indeed, it was wearing safety shoes that the dad, named Jean-Pierre, presented himself to Mickaël Landreau.
Even without gloves, the former goalkeeper of the France team (11 caps) had no trouble stopping the father's five shots, carried by his son.
“I was really thinking of putting one on anyway,” admitted Jean-Pierre, 62, at the end of the session.
Enough to change his mind about the ease of scoring penalties?
“Not too much,” he replied, provoking laughter from his son and Mickaël Landreau.
