“I have always had the chance to do other things, proof with Téléfoot, presentation, documentaries, etc… It turns out that if it is possible, I would like to comment for as long as possible. not until age 80 but as long as possible. It’s the only thing that matters to me, the rest…”confided Margotton during an interview given to the program “Ca Parle Football”.

“From comment weariness? Never, he continued. You can't be tired when you don't know what's going to happen, when you take a plane or a train and you arrive in a magnificent place where there are 15,000 people in a room for handball or basketball or 60,000 people in a football stadium and you see exceptional athletes, how can you get tired of that? It's impossible. »
