The legendary French coach Arsene Wenger shared his thoughts on the reasons for the success of the French national team and the foundation of French football.

In this transition, a key role is played by a clear system of training young people, an effective search for talent and immigration contributions..

“I appreciate that our success is due to the vibrancy of football coverage, our abundance of talent - something that the country lacks in abundance - as well as African immigration.

If you look at the history of French football, it is closely linked to immigration. The first French winner of the Golden Ball was Raymond Kopa, who is of Polish origin. Then there was Michelle Platini - from the family of Italian immigrants, and then Zinedine Zidane - from the homeland of Algerian immigrants. Jean-Pierre Papin was not an immigrant, then Karim Benzema - with Algerian roots, and now Ousmane Dembele - from a family of African immigrants.

People come to France, so there are important opportunities for illumination here.. And it’s very often difficult to reach success, and even realize that you have to work hard to reach your greatest rival,” Arsene Wenger is quoted as saying in L’Equipe..

Wenger also said that the very effective system of training football players, the clear selection and capabilities that France gives to talented young people, allowed the country to lose its middle over the course of a decade.
