Metz honored Robert Pirès. More than ten years after hanging up his crampons, near Goa in India, the former French international (52 years old) organized his jubilee on Tuesday evening on the lawn of the Saint-Symphorien stadium. That of his debut in the first division. The opportunity for him to bring together football legends who played for the Garnets, the Gunners or the Blues.
Thierry Henry, Franck Ribéry, Samuel Eto’o, Marcel Desailly, Laurent Blanc, Youri Djorkaeff: all responded to celebrate the player, crowned world champion in 1998 and Europe 2000, but also the man. Aimé Jacquet, Arsène Wenger and Joël Muller, three coaches who were very important in the career of Robert Pirès, also wanted to be there for him.
Robert Pirès, his last dance with the stars!
A dream casting for a very successful evening, which the special correspondent of French Football Weekly was able to live from the inside. From the arrival of the members of France 98 at their hotel to the tribute paid to the ex-Arsenal and Villarreal winger in his Metz garden, relive in images behind the scenes of this event which, without a doubt, will leave Robert Pirès with lasting memories.
