Since their appointment in January 2020, Fabien Galthié and his staff regularly invite key witnesses to talk about their experience in front of the players. So came – among others – the astronaut Thomas Pesquet, Yannick Noah, Francis Cabrel, Jean Dujardin and Didier Deschamps.
This week, it’s the turn of Fabien Barthez, 1998 world football champion, to share with the Blues. Arriving on Monday, the famous bald goalkeeper spoke to the players in the evening. A moment that he particularly appreciated since he stayed one more day with the XV of France.
Like Monday, Fabien Barthez attended the afternoon training with great attention. Sitting next to Charles Ollivon, he took advantage of the lights of the French third row in view of the latter’s ample arm movements to explain the different phases of the game to him.
