Macron on Zidane’s visit to PSG: “I want him to come back for the influence of France”

Emmanuel Macron was traveling in Seine-Saint-Denis this Wednesday to promote the Pass’port, an allowance of 50 euros for the acquisition of a sports license. Asked about a possible arrival of Zinédine Zidane on the PSG bench, the President of the Republic did not hide his desire to see the 1998 world champion return to France. “No, I did not speak with him. But I have great admiration for him, the player and the coach, begins Emmanuel Macron at the microphone of RMC. He won the three major cups (three Champions League with Real Madrid) that we covet very much for our clubs. I want him to come back to promote France”. The former Real Madrid coach is sent by various rumors to the PSG bench next season. “We decided to extend the Pass’port to scholarship holders” But four days before the first round of the legislative elections, the president was above all in Clichy-sous-Bois to praise the merits of the Pass’port system, which the government decided to extend to scholarship recipients: “At 18, playing sports takes off. Students often have too many concerns and often few resources. We decided to extend the Pass’port to scholarship holders. We have around 800,000 students who are affected. Until now, this allowance of 50 euros was only reserved for young people aged 6 to 18, subject to social criteria. On the other hand, the application of this allocation to non-scholarship holders is not envisaged. Asked about security and civility in sport, Emmanuel Macron wants to be intransigent: “We must drive out incivility in sport and violence, he insists. We must be intractable in professional and amateur sport and say that racist and homophobic remarks have no place in the stadiums. But it is also a work of education. When you love a sport, you love the discipline that goes with it”. Thursday, Emmanuel Macron will go to the Tarn where he should talk about security in rural areas.
