It is well known: Emmanuel Macron is a big fan of football and OM. The President of the Republic proved it once again on Wednesday afternoon, during a meeting with young people at the Château de Chambord. The Head of State, visiting for the operation "summer quarters 2020", a program for young people who cannot go on vacation, took the opportunity to play football with several of them.
Emmanuel Macron, sleeves rolled up, appeared particularly motivated. The Head of State even inadvertently shot in the face of one of these young people, a filmed sequence which quickly made social networks happy.

On the video, we see the president attempting a strike, which lands in the head of a young man. Emmanuel Macron then continues his action and tries to score, but the goalkeeper manages to grab the ball. Then the president moves back to the center of the field, while the youngster, who lost his cap in the process, also continues as if nothing had happened.
"He beheaded the kid," one tweeter commented. "Not even apologize, a real Marseillais!", Laughs another Internet user, while other people suggest to the Head of State to come and play football with them.
