We can laugh about it or cry about it, but the arrival of players from the French football team during the various gatherings in Clairefontaine has become an event. Almost like a fashion show, everyone's outfit is now monitored and dissected. Some observers focus on quantifying the value of the outfit, others establish a ranking of their preferences and still others are saddened by it. This was the case during the October gathering where on the airwaves of RMC, the former Monaco and PSG player did not hesitate to compare these arrivals to a real “ cirque » while Jean-Michel Larqué deplored that “ (the players') first concern before arriving was how they were going to disguise themselves. »
Faced with criticism, the Blues and in particular Jules Koundé, particularly targeted, had promised to arrive in tracksuits at the next gathering. The Barcelona defender kept his word by showing up with a vintage French team tracksuit top. His comrades did not go folkloric and the LOSC goalkeeper, Lucas Chevalier, called up for the first time for the Blues, chose, as he had announced a few days earlier, to play it sober and elegant with notably a long beige coat. A little extra touch, he wore a big smile, proof of his joy at being there.
