Bertrand Latour, the punishment that does not pass!

Canal+ wanted to innovate this year to relaunch Canal Football Club, whose audiences continued to decline. The main change is obviously the arrival of Bertrand Latour, snatched from the Chaîne L’Equipe, to bring a little more bite to a program considered by many to be increasingly soothing.

The 31-year-old journalist is not confined to the Canal Football Club and also regularly officiates on the set of the Canal Champions Club. Another innovation is the Champions Box, a “box” where the speaker’s hologram appears. On Wednesday, in the wake of the superb victory won by Lille against Real Madrid, the Canal Champions Club wanted to mix its two new products by bringing Bertrand Latour, present at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy, into the Champions Box.

It is clear that the result hardly convinced viewers. The criticisms were numerous and most often scathing. “Why is Bertrand Latour punished?”, “Bertrand Latour left the Team for the Question Box.”, “he was sequestered in a shoebox”, “he left team 21 to find yourself in a telephone box”, “Bertrand Latour is in a box! he has no right to be on the set”, “But what is Bertrand Latour doing in his cage there”, “But why is Bertrand Latour in a box?”, “But what is Bertrand Latour doing in a photo booth »… These were some of the comments that accompanied the intervention of the new face of the CFC.
