Do people forget the most important reason, Colonization. The is a reason 95% of the french team are african descendants. The is a reason France is being kicked out very harshly in the former french colonies, the worst countries in Africa on economics, stability, politics etc are former french colonies and its because while the British, Spain, Portuguese etc fully left their colonies France didn't not really and they have continued to plunder and ruin those countries forcing a lot of the citizens to migrate to france. The Franco nations people migrate to their former colonizer( france ) 10 times more than british, Portuguese etc. This is their biggest reason, hence their best players are from parents that left their home and came to france, Zedane, Henry, kante, pogba, mekelele, thuram, Desailly, Trezegue, Mbappe etc all from former french colonies whom have been in disarray for the last 4 decades due to french inteference.
How about colonialism for an answer?
Are those really from france?
You can also see that the standard of amateur/semi-pro teams/players in Paris suburbs/around Paris is higher with another angle : Every year when the Coupe De France is on, you'll be amazed to see how far in the cup those teams go rounds after rounds compared to any other amateur/semi-pro teams in France.
"What did Martial win?"
Jamie you have won four more trophies than Martial and he's 28
Actually nothing to reveal, it'sobvious.. they are all AFRICANS, it's NATURAL TALENT
i think also the economic pressure of having parent that are not very well financially and on average not as educated compare to the other french people push them do try to make it quick and sacrifice a lot. when henry was saying that music and football is a solution a lot of kid to make it fast i agree, they think they cant wait 5 years after being 18 to have a master because their parents need them. also it may be hard if their parent do not speak well or didn't study much to see the opportunity in long term study. add to that excellent infratructure and a lot of small football ground in between the tower of the banlieus. Maybe minority being push more toward sport by orientaion adviser ? and finally having the biggest legend of the french team being people like ZZ, henry, benzema, thuram, mabppe they can clearly identify with. but as a french football fan its almost like dream to see our team shine, every week we got a new talent u21 showing in on the biggest stage. between the like of barcola, zaire emery, mathys tel, sacha boey, malo gusto, leny yoro, lukeba, saliba… the future look like it reserve us a lot of great games ahead of us
I was born and lived in Paris and now live in Britain. Coaching aside in my opinion the biggest 2 reasons are:
No1: There are lot's of good quality street pitches. As a kid you play with all different races and ages you either develop technique or physicality or both. (Lot's of in game experience)
No2: Grass or 3G pitches are mostly free including the 11 a side monsters you have to pay over £150 an hour for here in Britain.
There's no reason why somewhere like London should and could be like Paris.
I really like Thierry Henry, bless him; however this explanation is “undercooked”.
A local government policy of building high-quality football facilities in every Paris banlieue, partly to keep kids off the streets and out of trouble, has been fundamental to making the sport cheap and accessible to all.

Big cities means more football Clubs …for any a kid who grew up in the country side or in a very small town , they have to travel for hours to practice and play football , while the Suburbs kids find a football club next block ..very different
Africans*
São Paulo is bad written
love titi such a good guy
Not very convincing. People in Brazil and Argentina also use football as a way out, street football (and other forms of football) is entrenched in the society, they do have the football mentality… etc. So why aren’t those producing quality players like they used to?
You know, people from Paris suburbs can play for many countries. Sau Paulo players can mostly play for Brasil
The only influence is Africa simple
very bad explanation from henry
He forgot to mention Eden Hazard who is come out from Lille(Losc) and won player of the year
The name of the city is Sao Paulo not Sao Paolo.
In addition to this :
– The academies in Paris that train little youngsters and enhanced their talent + the mentality of hard work
– Suburbs that have “free stadiums” for anyone to go and play
– Pretty much as Henry mention , the #1 sport is football so its also a passion
– Unlike in many other countries , France and many other places see every single kid as a huge potential prospect and will give resources to them if needed. Just an example , Peru currently is suffering a big downfall other than corruption , its because the football academies in Peru is a business , you are pretty much paying and if you have talent but no money , tough luck then. Even in Argentina who are in economical crisis , clubs will even paid housing and train young talents for free. They learned their lesson when they let go Messi to Barca lmao , so now every talent they see they will help them push it.
Ironically it is the reason our league and clubs perform so poorly. We produce copy pasted players. Our youth system insist on fast and individual players because they fit in any European team. As a result there is no French style of football. It's a vicious circle.
Yeah cos they are majority all from africa. Imagine Algeria had zidane.
I wonder if it's got anything to do with the fact 90% of the players are barely french
He’s not gonna say it on national tv but I’ll say it here it’s also the African culture influence straight up facts, playing football in the streets of France is so so competitive apart from Africa itself or South America street football football is best played in France facts!
I m french and I born in Paris. It is true that there is a special thing in Paris and in french about football players. I will say that there are 2 reasons. First is structural, Paris has developed a very high number of city stadium in Paris and suburbs due to social reason to offer place to play football everywhere. And also it is social. Clearly, football is the a sport everyone has a chance, as France is a very elitist country. Football represents poor people.
as someone from paris ill explain it. if you cant play here, you cant play. meaning that people will bully you, mock you, and wont let you play with them if u suck. if u cannot go past 5 players by urself doin 3 nutmegs ppl wont let you play forward. if u cant pass like kroos and keep the ball under pressure like busquets they will force you to play goalkeeper. im not even talking about the ridiculous amount of time people play football. when i was younger it was literally normal to go out at 11am, eat with ur friends and play football from 1pm to literally 10pm when lights are completly gone and u cant see anymore. we also play a LOT indoors on handball/futsal field where u have to be super technical. theres really a lot of things that make it like that but yeah the culture makes it that everyone has to be able to do EVERYTHING on the pitch or u are viewed as trash. its the way we learn how to play, we play to have fun so it builds us different than someone who tries to play "proper" football.
Africa won the world cup in 2008 and Reyad Mehriz is Algerian
It’s Cus there African that’s why there so good
3:12 Ne vous inquiétez pas Il y'a des français bi-nationaux qui retourneront à Paris pour élever le PSG au statut de Champion d'Europe. Oubliez Mbappe…c'est un Végéta…attendez Songoku
how many were actually born there tho
“what did martial win?”
“the europa league, that’s all i’m missing” 🥶
You're allowed to express yourself in the streets and gain respect by the elders if you can handle the physicality from the elders as crying and diving would get you beat up and kicked out of the neighbourhood so when you become smarter and make it as a pro, life is easy as you can win cheap free kicks in the overprotective world of elite football.
Liverpool has produced some great players
Mahrez ❤🇩🇿🥰
