James Rodriguez, Mario Götze, Andriy Shevchenko, Neymar, Francesco Totti, Rio Ferdinand, Sergio Agüero, Javier Hernandez or even Iker Casillas, here are some familiar names of the more or less boomers that we are who will be present from Sunday in Mexico for thethe famous Kings World Cup imagined by Piqué.
A competition with slightly bizarre rules (20-minute 7-on-7 matches, no expulsions, secret weapon jokers, etc.) designed to appeal to younger people who might turn away from professional football. We can believe it, or not, but behind the project embodied by the influencer “Amine Ma Tue”, the French team is not going to make up the numbers since it will field three former internationals in its squad: Samir Nasri, Jérémy Menez and the latest arrival, Adil Rami.
With them, ten or almost unknowns (Abdeldjalil Medioub, Melvin Bachelet, Salah Bouazza, Allan Rakotovazaha, Christian Nsapu, Clément Goguey, Lucas Valeri, Théo Chendri, Amara Fofana and Yanis Barka), who will scrap with 32 teams from May 27 to 8 June, hoping to play the final in Monterrey. Not sure if we’re watching, but social networks should reward us with some highlights that we’ll share with you here (or not).
