Who has forgotten the legendary sequence of the presentation of the French football team, during the 1998 World Cup, with this fixed shot of Jacques Chirac in an infinite struggle to chant the name of each player? We admit, we immediately thought of the former President of the Republic when discovering this Saturday the funny images of Kylian Mbappé during the France – New Zealand clash (27-13), at the opening of the World Cup rugby.
Present alongside Antoine Griezmann, Théo Hernandez, Jules Koundé, Olivier Giroud, Dayot Upamecano, Aurélien Tchouaméni and Ousmane Dembélé, the PSG star does not seem to be the greatest connoisseur of the world of ovals. In a sequence revealed on social networks by the organization of this World Cup in France, “Kyky” finds himself celebrating out of time, a good second late compared to his neighbors in the stands, a tricolor test.
And this with an incredulous face that was unlikely to escape the wagons of lodgers who had taken up residence on X (formerly Twitter). The video, which is approaching 7 million views this Saturday, was notably taken up by the Fédé de la Lose account: “Mbappé is a man like you and me, he understands nothing about the rules of rugby”. How to judge him for that, especially after certain (strange) decisions of dear Jaco Peyper?
