What is it about Paris that produces so many top players? | Featuring Saliba, Kante & more!

The World Cup victory in 98 had a MASSIVE impact on football in France. French Kids could see that we could be winners and it was already a diverse team. Zidane and co inspired a whole new generation. Same now with Mbappé.

This makes PSG's decision to adopt a Galactico approach look even stupider! Sitting on the worlds greatest talent factory with almost no competition in the city and yet they threw their chequebook at the problem. Ended up having to sign Parisian Mbappe from Monaco for 100m. 😆 Glad they are changing direction. Looking forward to what they can build.

I forget how wide my smile can be whenever I see Kante

France 🇫🇷 is the best football country right now no debate they almost won it back 2 back

In the ile-de-France region, football fields are free to use, which is the main difference compared to other countries that all

That stat about Regions with most players at WC22 is wild 😳

I love Kante smiles ❤❤❤

No country has produced a conveyor belt of talent like France has for the past 30 years.

Best Young Centerback in the world right now, You just have to accept it

Ile de France as a stand alone national team would probably have the squad strength of Italy or Germany it’s Insane.

Just think actually many of others players who play for moroco algeria senegal even portugal lol come from ile de france dialo mehrez coulibaly benatia aubameyang etc....crazy

This region and France in general replaced South America when it comes to not only level and quantity of talents produced but these players also can seamlessly get integrated to the top level of futbol, The London region has potential to be similar too.

They forget to say that the french training way is good too. There is a lot of good trainers for young people

I can say its the culture football is played every literally, on the street in the neighbourhood. I have a cousin who lives in Bondy where Mbappe lived, i last went Bondy 2011 coming from the UK as a summer holiday as i got family in paris. Football is just it, mixed with the culture that is what it is. Footballs for the people and always have been thats why its raw in paris. In the Uk you dont get it as much as you used to years ago. But Paris you can literally play with randoms no age limit. UK its different. Thats just my perspective of things tho

1) players who play their whole childhood 2) millions of people of west african descent, who are on average faster and more powerful

We need more coverage on France through out the Euro's... they gonna win the thing after all

The Île-de-France region produces a crazy amount of good players with varied profiles in all positions, and it supplies players to other Ligue 1 clubs from different regions of France, to foreign clubs, and even to African national teams from the former empire such as Algeria, Senegal, Mali, Guinea, Morocco, Tunisia, Ivory Coast. Football in France, and in Île-de-France, is the equivalent of basketball in difficult neighborhoods in the United States: it is the number 1 sport, with football fields everywhere. In the neighborhoods around Paris of major French cities there is a large black and North African population, the best players will represent the French team, a minority will choose to play for the African countries of their parents out of conviction, while the majority will will default to the African countries of their parents. This is why even in the youth teams in France, there are a lot of black players because they come from the neighborhoods around Paris. There are white players in French football, but whites play more varied sports, such as rugby, tennis, winter sports, basketball, while black and arab players in France are very focused on football and a little about athletics.

In France the youth play school football tournaments, neighbourhoods football tournaments,clubs tournaments ,indoors football ,there are piches all over for free.
