Emmanuel Macron was no match for El Hadji Diouf on Wednesday April 24 during the charity match in favor of the Yellow Pieces. Just like in 2021, Macron swapped his presidential costume for the Variétés Club de France jersey yesterday afternoon.
Occupying the attacking position, Emmanuel Macron went down to midfield to recover the ball at one point in the match. Unfortunately, he was facing El Hadji Diouf, the double African Ballon d’Or. The latter did not hesitate to dribble it to dismiss it.
But Macron was tenacious. After receiving two small bridges, one of which was between his legs, he continued his marking. Feeling that he was not going to be able to get the ball, the French president saw fit to tackle the Senegalese legend who ended up on the ground.
Internet users’ joke after El-Hadji Diouf’s dribble on Emmanuel Macron
The scene of the duel between Macron and El-Hadji Diouf went viral on the web after the match. Many internet users found it hilarious.
They commented on El Hadji’s dribbles by saying ironically that he will no longer be welcome in the country after his gesture.
“El Hadji, I prefer to warn you. You will not spend the night in France,” wrote one user. A French parody media also reacted on the subject. “After having taken a small bridge by El-Hadji Diouf, Emmanuel Macron decided to expel him from the territory”, indicated the media.
Obviously, this is a joke. In fact, Macron shook Diouf’s hand after the tackle and the two men showed a broad smile after this scene. Which proves that there is no animosity between the two personalities.
Beyond the comical aspect, this video shows to what extent the French president loves football. Already in the past, we have seen him at the stadium during the most important matches of the French Blues.
