The image caused a sensation on television, and made the rounds on social networks, this November 9, 2023. During a Europa League match against Liverpool, at the Toulouse Stadium, the supporters of the Toulouse Football Club displayed a huge fan in the Brice Taton turn, at the initiative of the Indians Tolosa group.
In the stand, a face: that of Michel Blanc. And a little higher: a banner: “On a misunderstanding, it can work!“the actor’s cult line in “Les Bronzés sont du ski”, when he plays the misunderstood flirt Jean-Claude Dusse.
“The English journalists did not have the reference”
A way to ward off fate, as TFC faces one of the biggest clubs in European football. And above all, it’s a nice surprise for the entire audience at the Stadium, and for the journalists present in the press box, remembers Julien Balidas, who then commented on the match for France Bleu Occitanie: “It was something very unexpected. (…) In the stands, everyone burst out laughing! I remember the English journalists who didn’t have the reference, and who had to explain who Jean-Claude Dusse was… it was still quite funny“.
And on a misunderstanding it worked! The TFC manages to conclude that eveningand won against Liverpool 3 goals to 2. A match marking the history of the club, which paid tribute to him on social networks this Friday: “Michel, in Toulouse, we will not forget you!“The Tolosa Indians did not want to react in the media this Friday: “the tifo speaks for itself!“.
