Until Friday, the reactions of the players of the France team had been sporadic after the death of young Nahel, following a police shooting in Nanterre earlier in the week. Kylian Mbappé, Jules Koundé and Aurélien Tchouaméni spoke individually on Twitter. This time, via the social networks of the new captain of the Blues, the French internationals spoke with one voice, in a press release written in the first person plural. “First of all, our thoughts go out to him (Nahel) and his family to whom we offer our sincere condolences, begins the text. Obviously, we cannot remain insensitive to the circumstances in which this unacceptable death took place”.

Indeed, the Blues, who recall being for many from “working-class neighborhoods”, explain that they understand “the substance” of anger, but not “the form” of its expression. “Violence solves nothing, even less when it inevitably and tirelessly turns against those who express it, continues the press release. It is your property that you destroy, your neighborhoods, your cities, your places of fulfillment and proximity “.
After which, with one voice, the tricolor group launched a great call for calm: “We cannot remain silent and our civic conscience encourages us to call for appeasement. (…) Social actors, parents, the big or small brothers and sisters of our neighborhoods must work to restore peace to our cities. (…) The time of violence must end to give way to that of mourning, dialogue and reconstruction.”
Deschamps and Diallo in support
Coach Didier Deschamps hailed the initiative of his players: “While our country is suffering, our players have decided to appeal for calm. I salute their initiative, with which my staff and I are associated. We have also a thought for the family of Nahel. However, without wanting to give lessons to anyone, I have the deep conviction that violence has never solved anything. I hope with all my heart that the situation will calm down”. Same story with Philippe Diallo, boss of the FFF, who “welcomes the call for calm and an end to the violence launched by our players from the French team”.
