It would be unfair to summarize the final of the Coupe de France between Nantes and Toulouse, Saturday evening at the Stade de France, with the remarkable presence of the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron. At the center of fierce disputes following the adoption of the law on pension reform, the Head of State will indeed attend the meeting, as usual, but should not tread the lawn before the match to greet the 22 actors.
A response from the Elysée to the threat announced by the unions to brandish red cards and give whistles to spectators brought to settle in the enclosure based in Saint-Denis, with the aim of directly attacking Emanuel Macron. According to information from RTL And RMC Sports, a change of protocol was decided. The trophy to the winning club will not be awarded on the field but in the stands.
“I am annoyed”
Invited this Friday in front of the media, the coach of the Canaries Antoine Kombouaré gave his feelings on this atmosphere which promises to be heavy. The Kanak says he is disturbed by this heavy context. “It really bothers me. I understand people’s problems. I also have family and friends in difficulty. Seeing people come to major events… Only then can they get people talking about them. I am annoyed. Above all, I have to concentrate on my work and hope that everything goes well. Football lovers come to see a big game, a big final. The rest is not our problem.”
Holders of the title, the people of Nantes did not prepare for this final in the best conditions. Held in check by Troyes last weekend (2-2), the partners of Ludovic Blas occupy a worrying sixteenth place with 32 points, tied with the first relegated Brest.
