The President of France, Emmanuel Macron, went to the dressing room of Didier Deschamps’ team after the end of the World Cup. Argentina won in dramatic fashion on penalties, and Lionel Messi and company won the third title in the history of the Cougars.

Macron congratulated Mbappe and company on the trip to Qatar, as well as a fantastic comeback after the game against Argentina.

The French president also said he wants Didier Deschamps to stay on as coach of the Rooster of Gaul because he is a great coach.

“I told Kylian (not Mbappe) that he is an extraordinary player and that he is only 24 years old (he will be on Tuesday, December 20).

What I said to the players in the dressing room is that they made us very proud and made us vibrate. We had one of the best World Cup finals ever.

I want Didier Deschamps to continue. I told him he needed to digest what happened. He showed that he is a great coach. There are many people who cry, but I showed heart and quality.

This team speaks to who we are: to do the unthinkable, to be united. So “long live the Republic and long live France.” That’s how I finished my speech in the locker room,” he said Emmanuel Macronquoted by News.ro.
