Politician Eric Zemmour was volleyed when he compared the disappointment of his score in the 2022 presidential elections to that of Kylian Mbappé after the defeat in the World Cup final.
If for the France team, there was a big shock in 2022, it was the defeat on penalties in the final of the World Cup. At the end of a course already commanding respect after having had to deprive themselves of many potential holders (Benzema, Pogba, Kanté, L. Hernandez, Kimpembe and Nkunku), the Blues failed at the last step on the fateful session. What cause a huge disappointment in a whole country, which even saw itself winning a few minutes earlier when Randal Kolo-Muani had this famous opportunity kicked out by Dibu Martinez.
“I had the same head as Mbappé”
For Eric Zemmour, the disappointment of 2022 is his score in the presidential elections. He was announced up to 17% of the votes in the polls, even dreaming of a presence in the second round, to run out and finish with 7% of the votes. In the program, “Quelle Epoque” on France 2, the former editorialist and essayist turned politician made a daring comparison to explain his dismay. ” Did you see Mbappé’s face on World Cup night? Well I had the same head. I am inconsolable like Mbappé who said a sentence very just after this final, it is that he would never digest it. Me neither “explained Eric Zemmour, who thus reacted to another person invited on the set.
This is Michel Denisot, also invited to promote his book, and it is an understatement to say that the former president of PSG tasted the comparison. “The difference with Kylian Mbappé is that he was in the final. I’m not sure that Mbappé is very happy to be compared with you, the prize list is not the same. I have the impression that you have made a book on the pre-match but not on the result of the match. You only talk about polls but not about the final result. And in sports there’s the scoreboard “, Directly recalled Michel Denisot, who did not let the comparison between Eric Zemmour and Kylian Mbappé settle for a long time.
