While the club at the scapular aimed at the accession to the national, it only points to the fourth place and had to say goodbye to its dreams of ascent. “Gérard Lopez must go away,” repeated the former icon of Lescure.

But if Alain Giresse it recently said saddened, it is because of the disappearance of Pope Francis, who died at the age of 88 on Easter Monday. “Yes, it's overwhelming when you know what the Pope represents for his own religion, which is mine”he thus entrusted to Europe 1au microphone of the legends studio.

Alain Giresse discreet on religion

The former member of the magic square in the France team then stressed the importance of the Pope. “It is someone we want to follow, who is the representative of the Holy Father on Earth, and who obviously tries to make sure that we can live with each other, whatever our origins, our differences, and our convictions, he said. So yes, we can only follow a person like the Pope, and it's always a very delicate moment when it disappears, and leaves this land. »»

And Alain Giresse to continue by evoking his relationship to religion, about which he wants to be very discreet. “No, I'm not talking about it, I made a program on the KTO channel, but it's part of my private life. Everyone has the convictions he wants to have, and I keep it for myself, he explained.
I don't need to declare it, that's all. This is not why we reject other people, no, on the contrary. Living it together, I think it makes sense. Through my religion, I try to live it in this way because that is what she tells us and asks us to do. »»
