    Paris, talented gold mine
    10 years ago, Arsene Wenger said Paris was "the second most talented football city in the world, just behind Sao Paulo (Brazil)". For the time being, the French capital is the undisputed number one. 8/23 French players won the 2018 World Cup in the suburbs of Paris. The total transfer value of Parisian players competing in the top five championships amounted to 483 million euros (page Transfermarkt.com), higher than any other city.

    Paris, or, more broadly, the city of Ile de France, keeps a beat for the French football scene. There is a welding class, immigrants suffer from many disadvantages in society. But it is the French "banlieue" (suburban) that have made the name of the football of continent. From Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira, Lilian Thuram in the past to Kylian Mbappe, Paul Pogba, N’Golo Kante of the present.

    Why is the Paris suburb producing so much talent? Pogba explained: "Because there is nothing but football. Whether in school, in the house or in the street, everyone, from big to small, plays football. Football helps us stay away from social evils. Rolling around with the ball all day is the "best" thing for children in the suburbs of Paris. " Pogba grew up in a poor family. His father, a Guinea man, pumped the ball hard like a stone for the children to practice. Swollen legs for tomorrow. All Pogba brothers became professional players. The poor life in Lagny-sur-Marne town is only the past.

    With hundreds of thousands of children outside Paris, falling into criminal gangs is the shortest path. And football is the way to save the French immigrants. The potential sporty qualities of colored boys easily develop in a convenient football environment. The Ile de France suburb alone has nearly 300,000 players registered in clubs from small to large. 1/3 of them are under 18 years old. 30,000 coaches diligently train night and day to produce talent. The Paris suburb is Europe's largest training facility.

    In the 1995/96 season, 10% of Ligue 1 players were Parisians. By the 2013/14 season that number had increased to 27%. At the 2018 World Cup, there were 52 Parisian players represented by many African players born in Paris, more than any other city in the world. Remember that only 8 Parisians play for France. The majority of the remainder was worn by African and Portuguese nationals. French football contributed to nurturing many other football fields because of the abundant resources from Paris.

    Mbappe is more fortunate than other migrant children born into a family with a tradition of sport with his father being a football coach, his mother is a handball player. This Cameroon-based boy has been practicing soccer since his childhood at Bondy club where his father is a coach. Bondy is located northeast of Paris, is a slum-filled slum. But now it becomes a tourist attraction, partly because of the name Mbappe. Immigrant French people do not accept the "out of sight" scene, especially in football. Not only outside Paris but in the suburbs of Lyon, Marseille is also the birthplace of many great talents of French football such as Samuel Umtiti, Nabil Fekir, Corentin Tolisso and the past monument of Zinedine Zidane.

    Synchronous and consistent training network
    The work of treating sand in the suburbs is not a matter of each club. Both the French football system has to go on in a large but firm structure and operate smoothly from top to bottom.

    Initially when French football was professional in 1932, the training was only associated with professional clubs. By 1973, the training of young players began to appear in amateur clubs. It was also the year of the revolution when the French Football Federation (FFF) stipulated that clubs must establish training centers that meet national standards. Within nine years, 24 training facilities were born. And now there are 36 training facilities accredited by the French Ministry of Sports, welcoming an average of 2,000 students each year.

    In addition, in the late 1980s, FFF launched a federal training center specializing in training high quality players. Outstanding gifted 13-14-year-old boys will be admitted, will practice soccer before joining the club's training facilities. The typical model is Clairefontaine, which produces Nicolas Anelka, Thierry Henry, Blaise Matuidi, Kylian Mbappe .... Currently across France there are 22 high quality training centers, "producing" an average of 500 young talents per year.



    The training network in France extends widely from every village to the city. Each "banlieue" (suburb) has a government-sponsored football club.

    Each club has a training ground, full training equipment, and a high-level coach. The main goal of the "banlieue" clubs is to train quality young players to be able to win local youth tournaments. The best players in "banlieue" will be sent to Clairefontaine national training center. Since then, they have a launch pad to join Ligue 1 clubs, wearing French youth teams. It is difficult for any "suburban" talent to get out of that training and screening system. In a multi-racial French society with many stigma, football becomes a bridge of cohesion and equality. Before the French-Uruguay quarter-finals at the 2018 World Cup, President Emmanuel Macron invited 300 guests to the Elysée Palace to watch and cheer, including 100 young players from the Ile-de-France suburb.

    The important thing is not the number of good training or coaching centers. The training quality of French football lies in how to operate throughout, from the perspective of teaching players, philosophy to lesson plans. From the club training institutes up to Clairefontaine, the emphasis on moral education of the players before teaching the ball. After the embarrassing defeat of the French team at the 2002 World Cup, the FFF has set up a new training perspective "focusing on thinking and playing spirit".

    Thanks to that, the new generation of French players love the colors of the colors better (almost no longer the situation of refusing to sing the French national anthem like the Zidane generation) and possessing the modern thinking of the ball to help them easily adapt every top tournament in Europe. The strongest point of the French team winning the 2018 World Cup is not an excellent play or a person, but a strong competitive spirit and solidarity. The view that the French player is more psychological than the German or the Italian is only a story of the past.

    Clairefontaine pride
    Clairefontaine is the mark of French football. The well-known training facility, located 50km from the center of Paris, has become a model for many of the top football schools like England and Germany to study. 2018 marks Clairefontaine's 30 years of birth, the birthplace of many French football players.

    Clairefontaine, in essence, is a national training center, with the goal of providing talents to Ligue 1 clubs and France. Clairefontaine experts are proud that they own a global education project, helping any child in the world to absorb football best. Clairefontaine's training perspective is parallel to both football and culture, both competitive spirit and soft skills in life.

    Thierry Henry, when he first arrived in Clairefontaine, was a clumsy 13-year-old boy with a ball. But gradually, Henry's intelligence and diligence made him grow quickly. “He went to Clairefontaine when his parents divorced. Henry lives with his mother. But there was no sign that Henry was sad. Father Henry visited him often. A brave boy, ”former coach Andre Merelle remembers one of Clairefontaine's best students.

    Henry won the sadness. Louis Saha, Nicolas Anelka, too. Clairefontaine hid in a small village of only 913 people, with a quiet and closed atmosphere that made young players sick. But that is the ideal condition for young players to focus entirely on football. Today, Clairefontaine has been equipped with more entertainment facilities. Paul Pogba is considered the table tennis king, while Laurent Koscielny and Hugo Lloris lead the table on the billard. Antoine Griezmann is the champion of the PlayStation game. Almost all the needs of the players are met at Clairefontaine. In the 1998 World Cup, Zidane asked some of his teammates to "hide" out of Clairefontaine to get a haircut at a nearby mall. From then on, hired barbers went straight to Clairefontaine to serve.

    The number one training center in France was built in 1988, on the Montjoye Castle of the 17th century. And 10 years after its birth, the French Tel won the 1998 World Cup and followed by EURO 2000. The children Clairefontaine contributed to that history page, the biggest name was Thierry Henry. Without Clairefontaine, it might not have been glorious for Les Bleus. The French need to thank the FFF President, Mr. Fernand Sastre, the father of Clairefontaine.

    Clairefontaine has become the model for the St Georges ’Park training center of the British. Howard Wilkinson, who was behind the birth of St Georges' Park, was surprised and delighted to visit Clairefontaine in 2000. In front of Wilkinson, what English football did not yet have, a 56-hectare training area with 302 beds, 10 football fields, sports science labs, game rooms, libraries, cinemas. Seventeen years after that visit, St Georges ’Park was born with a similar structure to Clairefontaine. Latvia and Turkey then also copied the French model.

    Many clubs only scolded this training academy. Varane after only a few impressive Clairefontaine auditions in 2011 was contacted by M.U. Anthony Martial was even contracted by Lyon at the age of 14, when he was

    Many clubs only scolded this training academy. Varane after only a few impressive Clairefontaine auditions in 2011 was contacted by M.U. Anthony Martial was even contracted by Lyon at the age of 14, when the boy was still on trial at Clairefontaine. Regardless of that, Clairefontaine continued to produce many of the top talents, most notably Kylian Mbappe.

    Paris, the largest supply for the World Cup
    Paris is the city that offers the most talent for the World Cup playground. In the last 5 World Cups (from 2002 to 2018), there were a total of 60 Parisian players participating in the biggest football festival on the planet. No other city in the world contributes many players to the World Cup with the French capital.



    French talent flooded the World Cup
    The World Cup is the prism that best reflects the talent of French football. Since the 2002 World Cup to 2018, there have been 216 players born in France to attend the world football festival. This number is higher than any other country, and 1.5 times higher than the second country, Brazil (148 players).



    Still racist?
    The young French training system still aches because of racism from the leaders themselves. In 2011, the "race quota" was uncovered. Mediapart released a tape recording of a closed meeting, in which Laurent Blanc (then France coach) made a statement stating the players of color. Blanc is among a group of researchers who limit 30% of colored players in football academies. Francis Blaquart, director of the National Technical Council, the head of this racist plan, was dismissed. Many officials and coaches participating in this criticism project were also disciplined.
