No "public festivity" was scheduled Monday night at the hotel Le Crillon for the players of the French team world champion, but only "a private gathering for those who wished," said Tuesday at AFP the French Football Federation (FFF), while thousands of supporters waited in vain for the appearance of their idols.
"There was never talk of public festivity." "The Crillon was to be a private rally before the 'breakup of the group' for those who wanted it, and there was never any talk of public festivities "like players coming out of the balcony holding up the trophy," said the federation.
Back on French soil on Monday, the players marched on the Champs Elysees in a double-decker bus before being received at the Elysee Palace. Information had circulated all day on an appointment in the evening at the Paris hotel Le Crillon, and thousands of supporters had gathered in front of the palace located on Place de la Concorde.
A tweet sent by mistake. Exasperated by the wait and disappointed, supporters let their anger burst. Among them, some have thrown bottles on the police present, who then evacuated the place, said an AFP photographer. While the players were still at the Elysee Monday night, the official twitter account "Team France" announced: "No appointment in a large hotel or Parisian palace will follow this appointment." This tweet was first broadcast with a photo of players of the French team at the Elysee Palace but with François Hollande after the lost final of Euro 2016. "It's a mistake, the photo was deleted after two or three minutes ", we concede to the FFF
In the end, players from the French team and staff members went to Crillon, but not all. About 300,000 people were mbaded on the Champs Elysees, according to a police source, an event that posed obvious security problems in the face of the terrorist threat. On social networks, supporters said their disappointment after a very short parade, which lasted twelve minutes, before the Elysian stage. French players had landed late at Roissy.
