Is the newspaper L’Équipe surfing on Kylian Mbappé’s poor form to create buzz that borders on morality? This is what Pierre Ménès denounces.

Between 1983 and 2005, Pierre Ménès worked for the daily newspaper
The Team. First as a freelancer, before becoming a senior reporter. In 1999, the sports journalist took his first steps on television, on The TV Team. For four years, the sports journalist appeared on the program “Finally du football” on
Didier Roustan.

25 years later, the consultant specializing in football does not appreciate what the media owned by the Amaury Group has become. This is evidenced by his reaction after reading an article dedicated to Kylian Mbappé, entitled: “Where is the Mbappé affair in Sweden? “. “The good shit article with zero info to push the player a little further. Disgusting »he was offended on X (formerly Twitter).

Pierre Ménès and The Teamdisenchantment

In February 2023, Pierre Ménès was already very critical of The Team. “I worked for 20 years at L’Équipe. It was my home, it was my family. I made my TV debut at L’Équipe TV. Even if today I no longer have a job, I don’t see myself going there, it’s not possible. This group has changed so much… I don’t recognize it. I think that if I were still at L’Équipe today I would be very unhappy”he imagined on his channel
YouTube.

Now away from television sets, since the broadcast in 2021 of
documentary directed by Marie PortolanoPierre Ménès has not definitively cut the microphone. On his own platform, the journalist continues to comment on and analyze sports news.
