Didier Deschamps, the coach of the French national soccer team, was also embarrassed by mixed reactions, whether he was joking or serious.
French President Emmanuel Macron’s wife Brigitte Macron made remarks at an event accompanied by Deschamps that Japan’s national soccer team striker Junya Ito (Stad de Reims) should be selected for his country’s national team.
According to French media “Foot Mercato” on the 23rd (Korea time), Mrs. Macron visited an event held at Langs University Hospital last weekend with director Deschamps.
At the meeting, a question was raised about the management of the national team toward Deschamps. In particular, some people asked him to select players from the Langs club more often as the event was held in the Langs region.
“Of course, we check (Lance players) like other clubs,” Deschamps said.
At that time, Mrs. Macron helped. “There is a very good Japanese player in Lance, what’s his name?” When reporters called him “Ito,” they said, “Yes. Ito, he is a very good player,” and they shouted out to Deschamps, “Wouldn’t you select Ito?”
Deschamps looked embarrassed and laughed, “He’s Japanese.”
Locally, it is interpreted as a comment to show that Mrs. Macron is as interested in soccer as her husband.
President Macron is a famous soccer fanatic. He is famous for playing in the school’s soccer team when he was a student at the National Graduate School of Public Administration and is known to be a big fan of Olain Peak Marseille, one of the most prestigious soccer teams in his country. 라바카지노도메인
