This Top 5 is more possible than ever according to some predictions which suggest that France could experience their best matches since 1900“, he said.

I don’t want to put too much pressure, I put the bar up every time and I’ll keep putting it, but it’s a healthy pressure and I trust everyone“, he said.

With reference to the challenges that the Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games has to face, President Macron, addressing yesterday Tuesday his wishes to the athletes and sports organizations of France, recalled that “the terrorist threat remains present on French soil“, while saluting “the commitment of the Minister of the Interior and the Chief of Police that 30,000 police and gendarmes will work hard and every day for the security of the Olympic Games».
