This Wednesday was held the - very media - football match between the team of deputies and several stars of the round ball.

Despite the call for a boycott from Nupes and the president of the Renaissance group in the Assembly, Aurore Bergé, because of the presence of RN deputies, the meeting raised 35,000 euros for the "E-Enfance" association. , which fights against cyberbullying.

After the controversies, place to the match.

This Wednesday took place the meeting between deputies and football stars.

Unsurprisingly, the former stars and superstars largely dominated a sparse team of deputies, resulting in 8 goals scored by the stars, against only 2 for the deputies.

But for Karl Olive, the captain of the team and deputy of Yvelines, it is above all necessary to see the positive.

"We progressed, because last year with the parliamentary team, we conceded 15 goals," he recalls.

"There, 8-2, it's real progress compared to last year," he jokes at the microphone of Europe 1.

Another blow of fate for the deputies, the right winger of the National Rally, Julien Odoul, was evacuated on a stretcher a few minutes after the kick-off, victim of a broken kneecap when he fell alone.

He was however very optimistic at the start of the match, explaining "that we all have the same jersey, it's a great source of pride. And I hope that we will be able to score a few goals". 

Be present "for the association"

Among the stars, led by an incredible Matt Pokora author of a hat-trick, we welcome the money raised without wanting to get into controversy.

"Sport brings people together. So, if we too start to make differences with whom we play football, it may be complicated", regrets the singer.

And to add: "And then, we must be there above all for the association". 

Faced with this success, many deputies are wondering about the boycott of this match and some see it as a real attempt at diversion from the Adrien Quatennens and Julien Bayou affairs which have been hitting Nupes for a week.
