On the Blues sidelines before the match against the Netherlands on Friday evening, Jean-Clair Todibo was caught laughing during the minute of silence in tribute to the victims in Israel, the Gaza Strip and the Arras high school.
Didier Deschamps is left with a new controversy regarding one of his players. Jean-Clair Todibo was filmed giggling on the sidelines of the France team, during the minute of silence organized before the kick-off of the Euro 2024 qualifier match against the Countries -Low, Friday evening in Amsterdam. 2-1 victory for qualification for the next European Nations Championship.
The OGC Nice defender visibly did not respect the tribute offered by the public at the Johan Cruijff Arena to the innocent victims in Israel, in the Gaza Strip as well as during the knife attack which occurred in a high school in ‘Arras in the morning. The image of Todibo, who is the only one laughing among the French replacements, caused a scandal on social networks, and not only among the “fachosphere”.
Monday afternoon at a press conference, on the eve of the friendly match against Scotland at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Villeneuve-d’Ascq, the French coach could be questioned about the inappropriate behavior of his 23-year-old player, called as reinforcement to replace William Saliba.
