Since the start of his mandate, Fabien Galthié has stood out in the world of rugby. His style, and we’re not just talking about his big glasses, is unique. From his “arrow of time” to the mystical vocabulary that he very often uses when he admits to wanting to “touch the sublime”, the former Stade Français coach does nothing like everyone else.
This Friday, in an interview with France Inter, Fabrice Luchini revealed an anecdote about the Galthié method which also goes in this direction. The famous 71-year-old actor says that during a dinner organized by chef Yannick Alléno, he had the opportunity to meet the French coach for the first time. And the boss of the Blues admitted to him that he used texts from a great French author, read on Instagram by Luchini, to motivate his troops before a match.
Hugo through the voice of Luchini for the Blues
“Fabien Galthié said to me: ‘I’m going to tell you something, Luchini. On certain match days, I bring all my players together and I put them your Instagram posts on Victor Hugo or on La Fontaine. I put them up and I say: so, before playing, look, this is France!'” says Fabrice Luchini on France Inter.
And to continue: “I’m dreaming. I say: ‘Will you show them Le mot (poem written in 1888, editor’s note) by Victor Hugo?’ He says to me: ‘Yes, look, I have it!’ I tell him: ‘I can do it for you live’ And there, there are two players who said: ‘No no! We know her!’ They walked away when I suggested doing it. They couldn’t take it anymore!'”
With two victories in two matches, the Galthié method has so far proven itself in this 2023 World Cup.
The worst match of the Galthié era? “One of the worst but we won!”
