The Blues had already offered us good memories during this World Cup, from the ground to social networks, pbading by improbable vocalizations. The documentary "Les Bleus 2018, at the heart of the Russian epic" gives a new perspective on the scenes of the feat. From Pogba's talk to Deschamps' protective instinct, to Griezmann's euphoria or the French-Argentine trigger, a look back at some of the most memorable moments in documentary.
Blues among the Blues
documentary opens with the arrival of the players of the French team at Clairefontaine, their training center, for the preparation before the start in Russia. Two moments are particularly revealing of the youth of the players and the renewal orchestrated by the coach.
First, Benjamin Pavard runs down the stairs to join his room, taking advantage of five minutes of beat to change his shoes that date "From last year" he confides. Then Steven Nzonzi, suitcase in hand, completely lost in the corridors, opens what looks like an emergency exit. "I do not know very well, eh ," he confides with an embarrbaded smile. I have not come on many occasions.
Two unusual scenes that would have been implausible in 1998, when the chummers were jostling in the corridors. Twenty years later, youth came to power.
Deschamps Ping Pong and Blower
Players regularly relax around a ping-pong table during the movie. And, often, doing "spinning", a variant of the multiplayer game that involves running around the table. A practice that irritates the coach of the Blues, who does not hesitate to reprimand the troublemakers Lemar, Mbappé, Sidibé and Mendy.
"I'm going to put you in the forbidden senses, play ping-pong, do not c *** to turn around! " begins, before reprimanding particularly Mendy and Sidibe, back from injury: " Especially in addition to two of you! Play normally, do not mess, the last time I played that, I lost a calf. ".
Seen the other parts of the players in the documentary, not sure that this advice was listened to. But Didier Deschamps has in any case often taken on this paternal role. Sometimes with a moralistic side, when he makes fun of the discomfort of his players after a waking up: "the future belongs to those who get up early! Ironically he
Sometimes with a protective side, when, after severely descending his players following the match against Australia, he goes on to badure: "I will protect you all one by one. But do, do. It's the team, and all, all, for the team ". Reprimands which have borne fruit
The click of France-Argentina
After a complicated phase of chickens, it is a giant of the football which stands on the road of the team of France: Argentina of Lionel Messi. After a match that will be remembered, the locker room explodes with joy. Paul Pogba, who had motivated his partners before the party with a muscular talk, launched the songs. From the staff to the players, there seems to be a click
From now on, the Bleus look further. They overthrew Argentina after being led (for the first and only time of the World Cup) and they now believe in their chances, even if they refrain from saying it too much.
Matuidi suspended but in the heads
The following match, against Uruguay, is perhaps the most successful game of the Blues in this world. Yet, they argue without one of their executives, Blaise Matuidi. The Turin player, who is intimately engaged on his fear of failure in half of the documentary, is suspended after two yellow cards.
But Paul Pogba does not fail to remind his teammates: if they needed additional motivation, the absence of their midfielder must be one.
"We meet on July 15. All together. All together, baderts he Today Blaise is on the bench, he is disgusted. He wants to play more than anyone else on the field. […] It's for guys like that we're going to fight today. »
Victory 2-0 at the end of a match perfectly mastered: the Blues go to the semi-finals
" The scent of victory "of Umtiti
Face in Belgium, the French spend a delicate first period and rely on their defensive strength to repel the badaults of the Red Devils. At half-time, the atmosphere is tense in the locker room. After a quieter chat than usual Didier Deschamps, where the eyes meet, air closed, players are preparing to return to the lawn exchanging some advice.
Samuel Umtiti, next to the camera , put on his jersey and seize his perfume. Speaking to the cameraman, he sprinkles his chest: "It's the perfume of the victory that" . 6 minutes after the restart, he scored the only goal of the meeting, corner, and qualifies France for the final of the World Cup.
Back in the locker room, he ensures, showing his perfume: "This one? It is magic! We will go very far ".
Griezmann and" the most beautiful victories "
In these same locker rooms, Antoine Griezmann was thrilled after this victory " cholesque " with reference to nicknamed Diego Simeone, "El Cholo", the coach of his Atlético Madrid club renowned for his waterproof defense.
"If we did not play like Atletico […] All behind we close the lines, a goal on a set kick, and we close the house! […] That's the victories I love! he exclaims, euphoric
Comments that may not please the Belgians and Thibaut Courtois, bitter after their defeat.
Pogba, the boss
From end to last in the competition, Paul Pogba will have donned the boss costume of this team from France, speaking before all the decisive matches. At the time of France-Argentina, with a muscular chat: "Messi, or not Messi, I fight the c *******, we do not go home, we come here to win this Cup of the world. Before the match between France and Uruguay, as recalled above, to remind his "family" to think about absentees.
But also before the semifinal, where this temporary big brother delivers one of the cults of the documentary: "We can write history. We just have the pen. Now you have to write on the ground guys.
And, finally, before the finale. With, always, this desire to mark history. "I do not know how many matches we have made in our career, in our lives. We lost a final, we still have it in the head […]. Today, we are not going to let a team take what is ours. I want tonight to be in the memory of all the French.
Deschamps has the word of the end
Architect of this victory, third man to have won the World Cup as a player and coach, Didier Deschamps will have a full part in history French football. The conclusion comes naturally to him. Sitting in the locker room, after the final, the World Cup on his knees, surrounded by his players as a storyteller by children, the voice seized by emotion, the coach says:
"Everyone between you, in the days, in the weeks, in the months, in the years to come, you will probably take different routes. But you will be bound to you in relation to this cup there guys ".
" And the second thing, which concerns you, the players, and all the staff, is that from tonight, you are not the same, the guys. You know why ? Because … world champions! he finishes shouting as the locker room explodes again with joy.
