Mouloud Achour has never accustomed his viewers to pushing his guests to their limits, during the weekly show which was launched in 2017 on the encrypted channel. Almost every week, the 44-year-old journalist from Seine St-Denis is mocked on social networks for having rolled out the red carpet for the star who came to his set. Since last weekend, the Frenchman has had to face even more sarcastic reactions.
It must be said that the audience was at its maximum, for this interview recorded in Madrid, last Tuesday, broadcast on Sunday, at the end of the day and highly anticipated. On average, 707,000 viewers (3.4% market share for those aged 4 and over) watched it during the approximately 50 minutes that the meeting lasted. This is almost double what Canal Football Club brings together, usually scheduled at this time. But many spectators remained hungry, especially among those who followed the ball game.
“A particularly sharp interview between Mouloud and Mbappé. We applaud the very incisive questions about his love stories or the Playstation. The Kyks are in a corner…” tweeted a user. “Do you see yourself playing a World Cup again?” to a guy who will be 26 years old. Well done Mouloud for the bold question. Nothing to envy of Mediapart.” another got angry.
“We start with 52 minutes of Mouloud who will (as usual) play the pass. Mbappé communicates as expected, predictable,” analyzed another dissatisfied viewer. A user of To be good, it takes two… Mouloud Achour is not and the choice of the show is not courageous on the part of Mbappé.”
We can’t please everyone… However, we can’t take away from Mouloud Achour the fact that he pulled off a nice move, where all the other editorial teams had been waiting for the same luck for ages.
