The head coach of the French national team, Didier Deschamps, attended a charity event organized in one of the hospitals in Reims.
Idman.biz reports that the first lady Brigitte Macron also participated in the ceremony.
The residents of the city who were present at the event asked Deschamps questions about watching the performance of Reims in Ligue 1. Macron took the opportunity to ask the head coach a question: “There is a Japanese who plays very well in Reims! What’s his name again?” After being whispered the answer, she outbid: “Yes, Ito that’s it. He is very good“. Before continuing: “We must select him from the Didier team! Why don’t you take it?”
The expert's answer to this ridiculous question with a smile was short and specific: “Well, because he’s Japanese!”
It should be noted that Ito, who has been playing for Reims since 2022, scored 13 goals in 53 games for the Japanese national team.
