Bertrand Latour’s first week on the Canal + sets was lively.
It’s a week that Bertrand Latour will remember for a long time. A star recruit for Canal + for this 2024-25 season, the journalist revealed on La Chaîne L’Équipe made his big debut last Sunday, on the set of Canal Football Club. The opportunity for Bertrand Latour to find his bearings alongside the host Hervé Mathoux – ” a pride“, as he was able to repeat.
Three days later, Bertrand Latour engaged in a different exercise on this same set with the start of the new Champions League format, a competition broadcast in its entirety by the Canal + group. And the least we can say is that the encrypted channel’s new reinforcement quickly dove into the deep end.
Samir Nasri castigates the indulgence of Bertrand Latour and Hervé Mathoux
One scene in particular got viewers talking this week. After Paris Saint-Germain’s sluggish victory over Girona (1-0), Hervé Mathoux summed up the outcome of the match with the term ” relief” A point of view supported by Bertrand Latour, who took care to underline the importance of this result in view of the calendar which awaits the French champions in the months to come.
Consultants Laure Boulleau, David Ginola and Samir Nasri were also present on set. And the latter two did not share Bertrand Latour’s opinion at all. The former Marseille player, in particular, did not hesitate to raise his voice.
“I have the right not to have liked the PSG match!”
“Before the game, everyone was saying ‘A new PSG. New attitudes’. After these 90 minutes in the Champions League, I didn’t see any of that, he thundered. It’s a good thing they won against Girona! PSG is supposed to be a credible candidate for the final victory in the Champions League. If I don’t win 1-0 against Girona… I have the right not to have liked the PSG match.
There, which Girona player is a starter at PSG? None! I’m not taking any, even on the bench.. We are consultants and I have to settle for a narrow 1-0 home win in the 89th minute?
Questioned, Bertrand Latour and the master of ceremonies Hervé Mathoux acknowledged that there was no debate on the content proposed by the Parisians.
