French team: the scathing political position of Marcus Thuram

It’s finally launched! On Friday, Germany, host country of Euro 2024, faced Scotland in a boiling Allianz Arena. And the British did not resist the German power which played its football under the impetus of an elusive Musiala-Wirtz tandem. A way of sending a message to the competition, including France. This Monday, the France team will enter the fray against Austria (9 p.m.). In a tough group with the Netherlands and Poland, the Blues will have no room for error and will have to start with a victory, adding style if possible. However, Didier Deschamps’ men will be weakened by several uncertainties around a few players and a lackluster recent form.

In parallel with the Euro, the players of the France team are sensitive to what is happening in France. And the latter did not miss the European elections, which saw the National Rally, with Jordan Bardella at the head of the list, winning with almost 32% of the votes. This result led President Emmanuel Macron to dissolve the National Assembly and call new legislative elections. With their audience, certain players from the France team spoke on this subject, like Marcus Thuram this Saturday at a press conference.

Marcus Thuram calls for a vote to block the RN

Obviously aware of this worrying situation, the Inter Milan striker did not hesitate to step up to the plate: “I think the situation is sad, very serious. I learned that after the match against Canada, we were all a little shocked in the locker room. This is the sad reality of our society. We need to tell everyone to go and vote. Especially as a citizen, we must fight on a daily basis so that the RN does not pass. Do we talk about it in the group? I hope everyone shares my opinion, it’s not enough to say that we have to go and vote, we have to explain how we got there”declared the center forward to the media, before justifying his position.

“I don’t think it’s very complicated to express yourself on this, it comes from my education, I know that lots of people follow me on the networks, I am obliged to convey certain messages. Do I talk about it with my father? No. He doesn’t encourage me to do anything. Growing up with him, I feel responsible for keeping this kind of message. No doubt that everyone in the French team thinks like me. I’m not here to force anyone to say something even if they mean it. Thanks to my father, I have enough control over this situation to be able to talk about it. The rise of the RN? I’m not going to cite any particular show, but when I turn on my TV in Italy, I tell myself that it’s meant to bring about the rise of the RN.” Interesting on the field, Marcus Thuram is even more interesting for his committed positions which command respect while the communication of many players is sanitized these days.
