Within the absence of Presnel Kimpembe, Group France’s chief ambianceur for the 2018 World Cup, somebody needed to take over the runway. And that individual is Aurélien Tchouaméni. After the victory over Denmark (2:1), which was tantamount to promotion to the spherical of 16, the Actual Madrid participant Free your self from need de Gala within the audio system. “I selected musicTchou-Tchou mentioned. You see how good I used to be. First, Kama (Eduardo Camavinga) he had a telephone linked to the loudspeaker. He activates the music and I say: “No, that is not the type of music it’s best to placed on. Activate that music.” I am fairly proud of my shot. »
So, in fact, it is from us to query the standard of the track. Thousands and thousands of individuals have danced to this track since 1996 and it deserves it: this track is nice. Nevertheless it’s 2022, rattling it. There actually wasn’t a extra fashionable track to be taught? Is that this the picture our Blues need to convey? Previous, dusty, musty 2-track CDs mendacity in a basket “All for 50 cents” at a storage sale? Allow us to recall, nevertheless, that the premiere comes from 26 years in the past: Jacques Chirac was the president, France has not participated within the World Cup for ten years, 16 gamers from the present Blue group weren’t born, and the title was a success on M6 at Charly and Lulu. So OK, classic is in vogue and 90s style is in all thrift shops proper now, however that is nearer to banal than hype.
Above all, Free your self from need has already skilled its heyday in soccer stadiums. It was at Euro 2016 when followers from Northern Eire determined to make use of the melody from the track to provide you with a track in honor of Will Griggs. the Will Griggs on fireplace for a month it resounded in all of the stadiums of France, whereas the participant didn’t play a single minute within the competitors. There was innovation, there was actual analysis, as a result of the lyrics have been already written, it was recent, it was enjoyable. The issue is that it smacks of rehash, deja-vu, that there wasn’t even an effort to provide you with lyrics devoted to the French group, and worse, The Blues do not even know the unique track’s lyrics. Briefly, at this fee, you would possibly as properly get out I’ll survive, eh. For those who actually need to play an old style card, you would possibly as properly take it.

They don’t seem to be lovely, our Blues, all of them leap on this rhythm petard timeless Gala by throwing water bottles within the face? On this clean and impersonal World Cup, wherein Didier Deschamps’ gamers pose for us off the pitch, these are in all probability the one moments because the starting of the Qatar occasion once we can let go and never be afraid of ridicule. Every part that makes up our humanity, in any case, at a time when a lot of our footballers are fewer and fewer.
Free your self from need mobilization was profitable 26 24 Blues in the identical transfer and make everybody leap up and down; quite the opposite, e.g. With Damn it from Naza, who, regardless of his favourite place in our nationwide musical output, actually has extra difficulties with catching Olivier Giroud, Raphaël Varane or Adrien Rabiot. The Northern Irish understood this unifying energy earlier than anybody else and are not often the final in relation to chouille. Not too long ago, the San Siro viewers, who know a factor or two about good style, used sound to make it their second of communion. It have to be mentioned that the track is – that is not provable – very simple to remix, even when « Expertise burns » sounds common.

The Italian tuba that has traveled all over the world has reached soccer through the UK and advocates variety: what higher solution to play the World Cup, furthermore in Qatar? Hugo Lloris in all probability would not even understand it, who since arriving in Doha is very cautious to not take a step in opposition to homophobia, however it’s to the LGBT anthem that he sways after every of his grasp class. symbolically, I’ll survive was additionally in the identical register in addition to on Gloria Gaynor’s tuba, the one sung lyrics being restricted to the refrain. That did not cease us from setting ourselves on fireplace and persevering with to speak about it 24 years later. A collection of a not-so-original hit that builds on what has already been achieved with out revolutionizing something, however taking every thing in its path with out imposing its nature? Even in them playlist Spotify, The Blues are undoubtedly true to themselves.
