French team: in Clairefontaine, the rise of the steps and the fashion show of the players in pictures

Skirt, hood or heeled ankle boots, the players of the French football team have accustomed us to all kinds of outfits for their arrival at the training center. During the last gatherings, the Blues were able to surprise with ever more unusual clothing, like Ibrahima Konaté who proudly wore a green balaclava. This time, the players seem to have focused more on sobriety.

It was undoubtedly the most anticipated of this parade. And for good reason, Jules Koundé has accustomed us to outfits that stand out from the rest (skirts, heeled cowboy boots or bell-bottom pants). This time, the defender favored casualness and vintage with a French team jacket dating from Euro 1992, jogging pants and even sports shoes. A snub to former footballers, now consultants, Jérôme Rothen and Jean-Michel Larqué, who had criticized his previous outfits. He then warned: “The next gathering, we promise, we will all arrive with tracksuits, crampons on our feet without forgetting the parka if it rains, Mr. Larqué. » Bet kept.

And XXL was also required at Clairefontaine. After an XXL bag proposed by Jules Koundé, Théo Hernandez also chose to wear a very… very large item. The AC Milan player got out of the car wearing extra-wide cargo pants, even hiding his shoes.

Others preferred elegance. This is the case of Ibrahima Konaté, who, after the balaclava, this time wears… the suit. A very sober set for the one who plays in the Liverpool defense and who tries to establish himself in Didier Deschamps' starting eleven.

Elegance was also the key word of the man who is celebrating his very first selection with the Blues: Lucas Chevalier. The Lille goalkeeper appeared at Clairefontaine, all smiles, with a long coat, a turtleneck sweater and straight pants. An elegant and no-fuss outfit, like the new goalkeeper of the blue squad.

A less exuberant fashion show than usual. While the old outfits were talked about, and the players, the French this time kept things sober before facing the Israelis, this Thursday, at 8:45 p.m., at the Stade de France.
