Video: Macron's Speech in the France National Team Dressing Room

“I am proud of you, boys,” French President Emmanuel Macron stated in a speech he delivered in the France national team's dressing room during the World Cup.

He specifically encouraged the team saying, “You have inspired billions of people who watched this game. You showcased wonderful football. After this match, there will undoubtedly be a feeling of regret. Listen to me carefully. You are truly a wonderful team, as I do not believe there is any other team that could have done what you have done so far—coming back after victory and getting so close to winning again.”

It’s important to note that yesterday, Argentina won against France in a penalty shootout during the World Cup. The match ended after extra time, leading to the penalty shootout where Argentina claimed victory.
