Europe 1 Studio SEASON 2022 - 202307h53, November 24, 2022

If the Blues are expected at the turn in Qatar for the 2022 World Cup, it is because they are the outgoing champions.

A second star won in 2018 under a deluge in Moscow.

For this fifth episode of season 2 of the podcast "Les Géants" presented by Jacques Vendroux, Hugo Lloris, legendary captain of the Blues, makes you relive this incredible epic from the inside.

From the rant of Didier Deschamps after the first match against Australia, to the parade of winners on the Champs-Elysées, passing by the extinguisher which almost set fire to the "Blue House" after the match against Argentina , Hugo Lloris looks back on all the pivotal moments of this unforgettable page in the history of French football.

When the World Cup in Russia begins in 2018, Hugo Lloris is 31 years old, he is the father of two little girls aged four and eight.

Behind the smooth image of the discreet captain of the France team, hides a man of character.

Professional football, which he chose after a science baccalaureate, enabled him to overcome the hardships of life, and in particular the death of his mother in 2008. Under the Kazan sun, in 2018, he is preparing to live the greatest consecration of his career… This story is a Europe 1 Studio production.
