A long-awaited meeting. On this Monday, October 7, the big rally for the arrival of the Blues is being prepared under almost continuous rain. Despite the humid weather conditions above the Clairefontaine forest, a photographer from the magazine press stood at 10 a.m. in front of the gates to access the surroundings of the “castle” and try to get the best place in the middle of the twenty goals present to immortalize the first steps of the internationals in this gathering.
For more than two years, the fashion media have systematically marked the arrival of Didier Deschamps‘ men in their calendars as an unmissable event. The Blues have made the few meters which separate their car and the steps of the building a real fashion podium or an advertising poster.
