WHY France produce so many talents

[@luishernandezblonde]

France is the weirdest case in the world. It has an uninspiring national league, but its players are the best in the world. French-educated and trained players go on to become monsters. Jesus Christ.

[@vza7938]

opposite of england...best league, but players always under perform for national team

[@RuinMassia]

That’s why in France the young players get plenty of game time whilst in England we have players like Hudson-Odi and Tammy Abrahams who struggle to get minutes for Chelsea. The success of the premier league is detriment to the National team because the clubs don’t need to rely on youth academies

[@prisetete]

Uninspiring national league ? There are 2 reasons for this: - Football, while being the most practiced sport in France, is deeply despised by the non-amateurs and the upper social classes; - French corporatism (made up of the same people from these upper social classes) restricts and fully controls French professional football for greedy interests: power and money (especially money). As surprising as it may seem, France does not like football at all and hates to be like the others (except when it comes to copying from the Italians of course 😂).

[@RuinMassia]

@@vza7938 the top 6 clubs in England only have a handful of English players whereas in France the league relies more heavily on youth academy players so young French players get a lot more game time. Hudson-Odi and Abrahams can’t get the necessary minutes at Chelsea but a lot of them are reluctant to go abroad cos the pay is not as good as in the premier league

France's next task is to keep doing what it's doing and improve on that by figuring out why this excellent system managed to overlook griezmann and kante.

[@genzalarboa3110]

It is not because they are excellent now that they were as good when they were young, the reverse is also true, good young people in training centers do not always have great careers. this is the whole difficulty of recruiting training centers. Vincent Pericard is the perfect example, he was a great hope for French football, at 17 yo, everyone saw him as the future great striker and he signed to juventus where he will only play two games then he chained the English clubs to finish his career at 30 yo in a club of the 6th English division

[@Yunghamz]

@@genzalarboa3110 In general, I agree with what you're saying. Not everything is static. But I think this thinking would be nore applicable to Giroud who is basically France's vardy in terms of the journey he's been on. Griezmann and Kante were overlooked because they were 'too small'. Size has nothing to do with football if you've got talent, especially in its current form. Griezmann was technically talented and kante was talented at winning the ball but both overlooked because of their size. Kante worked his way up while griezmann moved to spain who were transforming their football system for the future where they correctly predicted the dominant footballing style. It's easy to spot an mbappe but how many kante's have been overlooked because of biases?

[@genzalarboa3110]

@@Yunghamz I'm not saying that the system is perfect but you judge by knowing their background so obviously now it seems a huge mistake not to have given them a place but when you are in a training center there is a 20% chance of becoming pro, only half of whom will play in league 1. this means that 8 times out of 10, the scouts were wrong about the future level of the players and maybe among them there were players who were better than griezman or kanté at 14 years old.

France has played 5 finals of a major international tournament in the last 20 years (Euro or World cup)… just sayin, they're the best team in the world over that period, and will be for the next 20. World cup winner in 1998, and 2018, World cup finalist in 2006 (and they were by far the best team), Euro winner in 2000, and Euro finalist in 2016 (again being the best team), they failed once or twice (2002, 2010), they could have done a great performance in the 2014 World cup, but they played Germany in quarter and lost 1-0 in a very close game against the next world champion.

​@@handle6547 What does it mean to have 100% French origin ? How many generation ? lol most people would end up with no country at all with this kind of biased logic. Mbappé for example, his mother comes from Algeria, his father from Cameroon, so he is not Cameroonian nor Algerian since he only have 50% of each origin lol. Now Mbappé is born in France, grew up and spent all his life in France, he knows nothing else, he was also trained in France, his native language is French and he is still living in France. He also thinks himself as French but if you think he is not, then tell me what should be his country ? 😂 "half of them are literally muslim" I checked and you're wrong there is just a fifth of the team (5 or 6/26) and France has been a secular country for a very long time so we don't care lol. "since when is islam a part of french culture?" Definitely not a dominant part but if you just ask since when it is a part, well I'd say since the first wave of Maghrebian immigration when France had a low demography and needed some workforce, so 100 years ago lol. All those players are French, grew up and were trained in France and 95% were also born in France. Plus there is also a ton of players born and trained in France but playing for Portugal, Morocco, Algeria and other national teams, France produced 50 players of the last world cup. So in facts, it's not France stealing players but the other way around... And if you are wondering why is there a lot of Muslim or black players in the French national team, well football has always been a popular sport, especially played in the suburbs, most pro players have always come from poor families, back in the 50s-80s those guys were sons or grand sons of Polish, Italian or Portuguese immigrants, and now most of them are the sons or grand sons of Algerian, Guinean, or Malian immigrants... but they are just as much French as their predecessors. Oh and you should not forget the French West Indies, over there most of the population is black but Martinique or Guadeloupe has been French for way longer than the region of Savoy or the city of Nice for example... Thierry Henry's family or more recently Raphael Varane's or Kingley Coman's family are fully French for example.

[@Tenvalmestr]

Well, it's a very good team indeed, but it's not invisible. First, most of those players aren't consistant enough (Pogba is the best example of what I mean). Then, some of those aren't as good as they used to be (Varanne, Hernandez). Lloris is a good GK, but far from the bests. He has made it clear he always can make a mistake during the WC final. Pavart isn't that good at defending his side (but he is a good to make assists). French team has also an issue when it comes to play together. Even if it's not as common as it used to be. Don't get me wrong, I do believe that France is the Euro 2021 favorite, but it has its flaws and can be defeated at every round if it's not in a good day. Plus, French people doesn't usually perform well when they're favorite.

French sport success has never been the mixity. There's plenty of examples when they won trophies with mostly if not only natives. The French success is due to the restructuring of their football infrastructure, not the mixity. Oh and the immigrants or descendants aren't and will never be French, for that you need to be genetically tied to the natives.
