On Sunday, the tribute paid to Olivier Giroud at the Stade de France was spectacular, with fireworks and a tifo in the stands. The attacker was thus inducted in the Hall of Fame of the French team, a new concept intended to honor the players who have exceeded one hundred selections. However, some, like Luis Fernandez, find this criterion too restrictive. He regrets that legendary players like Just Fontaine or Raymond Kopa, with fewer selections, are forgotten.
The president of the FFF, Philippe Diallo, responded to these criticisms, specifying that this Hall of Fame will evolve. He confirmed that the jerseys of emblematic players like Antoine Griezmann, Michel Platini and Raymond Kopa will be added, taking into account more varied criteria in the future. According to L'Equipe, a commission of former internationals has already been set up to pay tribute to these historic figures of French football.
