It is now more popular than the Louis-Vuitton, Chanel or Pierre-Cardin shows during fashion week. There’s no red carpet yet, but that’s it. The arrival of players from the French team at Clairefontaine is THE meeting place for fashion enthusiasts, who can thank Fifa for making the calendar heavier, with ever more international breaks.
The 23 players summoned by Didier Deschamps therefore met at the end of the day on Monday in Clairefontaine (Yvelines). If sobriety was required among most of the internationals, some, like Jules Koundé, Théo Hernandez or Brice Samba, still delighted us.
Lucas Digne is, in his clothing style, as he is on the pitch. Sober, without much excess, but with a certain application. This combination of faded jeans and jacket is simple but effective. Small penalty on the ripped jeans, it’s not 2002 anymore, Lucas.
The king of this world. After virulent criticism from Jean-Michel Larqué, Jules Koundé promised: “The next gathering, we promise, we will all arrive with tracksuits, crampons on our feet without forgetting the parka if it rains, Mr. Larqué. » Promise kept, right down to the shoes. The Bordeaux region is truly incomparable.
Michael Olise is not yet a regular at Clairefontaine, but he is starting to get used to the slightly crazy outfits. Like these mismatched socks which don’t look great at all and these jogging pants pulled up to the ankles. That’s not the German school.
No overflow from wonderkid Warren Zaire-Emery. This outfit is classic and effective. Small downside, the shoes, a bit like the Berlutti outfit for the French athletes during the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, with tatanes which did not go at all with the costume.
A very dark outfit, hood on his head… We don’t know if Mike Maignan wanted to be left alone when he arrived at Clairefontaine, but it succeeded. Nothing to say, the outfit works.
That green Jonathan coat is a no. Nothing more to add.
We thought for a few minutes that Brice Samba had put on a Sumo disguise to be able to put on this gray outfit, not really very pretty, with a sort of jacket and jogging pajamas. He looks much more impressive in shorts and gloves.
When you first arrive with the big guys, you do everything not to be noticed. It’s a win for Lucas Chevalier, who celebrated his first call-up to the France A team with this long jacket and turtleneck sweater. Simple, effective.
Théo Hernandez had all the difficulty in the world reaching the steps of Clairefontaine, with these XXXXXXXXL pants. It seems that Milan is one of the fashion capitals. We hope that this outfit was not purchased in the Lombard city, that would amount to a demotion. No appeal possible.
An outfit with a number 11. Perhaps a small sign for Luis Enrique, who no longer finds an attacker in his team and prefers to field a false number 9, with Marco Asensio or Kang-in Lee. White and yellow outfit that does the job for Randal. Come on, it’s going to score another double against Israel before returning to the PSG bench.
Like Jules Koundé, Bradley Barcola likes to stand out sartorially. This big handbag, to hold Italian and Israeli defenders, to accompany a sober but classy outfit is not the most ridiculous.
