The President of the Republic abandoned his leadership clothes this Wednesday, during a football match with the Variétés Club de France. Already a scorer two and a half years ago, he has done it again.
The last time that Emmanuel Macron appeared dressed in shorts and crampons was October 14, 2021. That day, the head of state played a first meeting with the Variétés Club de France led by Jacques Vendroux. The experience visibly delighted the manager who set the table again this Wednesday. Present at Plaisir (Yvelines) for a friendly match organized for the benefit of the Yellow Pieces operation, Emmanuel Macron scored the final goal for his team. Deja vu.
Because two and a half years earlier, he had already found the net. And there again, history stuttered since, as in October 2021, it was from a penalty that the President of France scored. Wednesday in Yvelines, his team was already leading 4-2 when he beat the opposing goalkeeper. He was immediately congratulated by his partners, including Eden Hazard and Mamadou Niang. In the stands, round of applause as the net crossed the line.
Garcia scorer, Eto’o too
The audience even chanted the leader’s name. In any case, it was especially Robert Pirès who shone in the team playing in the white jersey since the 1998 world champion scored a modest hat-trick. The final scorer for the victorious team was Rudi Garcia.
Opposite, the scorers are Samuel Eto’o and Emmanuel Adebayor. The event raised the tidy sum of 57,500 euros, which was offered to the Hospital Foundation.
