1998 world champion with the French team, Aimé Jacquet is convinced that the Blues, thanks to their training system, can continue to shine in the years to come.
It was Aimé Jacquet who was in Clairefontaine, this Tuesday, November 14, during the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the French team. The former coach of the France team, who led the Blues to their first success in the World Cup in 1998, shared his feelings about this legendary place of French football.
“When I came back here this morning, I was so emotional and focused on the past, which is never my case (laughs), confides Aimé Jacquet on the FFF website. I like to project myself, to look forward, but today I remembered all these people who have magnificently shared their knowledge with this beautiful house. It is indestructible and our football relies on it. »
French know-how in training, of which Clairefontaine is the emblem, must ensure the Blues many successes in the years to come. Aimé Jacquet is in any case convinced of this. “I benefited from the work of alumni and quite logically people use what I was able to do well during my years at the Federation,” explains the man who was also DTN. As long as the link is not broken, we can go very, very far, and French football demonstrates this at the highest level: what Didier Deschamps is doing at the head of our Blues, all the progress made by our girls… it’s is extraordinary! »
