Co-host of the show “The Bridge” on the ESN Media YouTube channel, Aurélien Tchouameni was invited to react with Jules Koundé to certain statements calling into question the diversity of the French team. In recent days, it is the far-right polemicist, Jean Messiah, who has once again stood out by addressing the question of “representativeness” in the Blues. For Jules Koundé and Aurélien Tchouameni, the debate should not exist.
“Maybe there are people who will say that Simon (Porte Jacquemus, guest on the show at that time), who grew up in Provence, is the representation of France. Yes, but there are also other people who come from different backgrounds, and it is this diversity that makes France beautiful today.», recalled the Madrilenian, before his Barcelona teammate and friend took over: “For me, it’s not even a question, nor a debate. We were born in France, we grew up in France, we each represent France in our own way”. The message is clear.
