VIDEO – World Cup: Hervé Renard’s incredible speech at half-time before the feat against Argentina

Hervé Renard entrusted it to us : he shook his players as rarely on Tuesday during half-time of the match against Argentina, which ended with the greatest feat in the history of Saudi Arabia (2-1). This Thursday, we have the confirmation. In a video extract broadcast by the Twitter account of the Saudi selection, we can see the French coach in the middle of a chat, in English, to wake up his troops.

First by reproaching them for their too loose pressing on Lionel Messi then, above all, by motivating them on the rest of the operations. “Do you feel anything? You don’t think we can join them? They play like that, relaxed… Come on guys, it’s a World Cup, give it your all!“. An intervention in English, translated into Arabic but whose emotional springs we understand. Obviously, the speech was effective.
