Deschamps’ team arrived in Massachusetts yesterday afternoon and in the hotel near Boston they were welcomed by the mayor who was immortalized with the Real Madrid star
In the beginning it was… Helenio Herrera. The Wizard of the Great Inter used to write phrases in the locker rooms, to instill in the minds of his players fundamental concepts such as sacrifice, work, victory and unity. Now there are many teams that personalize common areas with motivational phrases, especially in training centers and club houses. France did not want to escape this “rule” and in the hotel far from the center of Boston chosen as the location for the retreat, he set up a gym with blue panels and two slogans written in large white letters: “Our differences unite us” and “Stay focused and get to work”. Clear, right?
mayor

The national team led by Deschamps arrived in Massachusetts yesterday afternoon and in the hotel, as well as by many fans, they were welcomed by mayor Michelle Wu, in office since 2021. A Democrat, she is the first woman to hold the role of mayor of Boston. Who did she have her photo taken with? Naturally with Kylian Mbappé. The Real Madrid star smiled and then signed autographs like his teammates before returning to the structure manned by a very attentive security guard. In fact, only members of the French expedition will be able to enter there.

The players are all in single rooms and inside they found some surprises to start the adventure with a smile. On the door of each room there is a maxi Panini figurine representing the footballer who will live there for a few weeks (the fans hope until July 19th, the day of the final…). Inside, another figurine (even larger) hanging on the wall.
Everyone was given the four jerseys of the city’s teams: the Boston Celtic (NBA basketball), the Boston Red Sox (MLB baseball), the Boston Bruins (NHL ice hockey) and the New England Patriots (NFL American football). The bathrobe is also personalized with the shirt number, strictly with the symbol of the federation like the standard backpack that everyone has found to carry their things. Also on the table is the medal and certificate of participation in the World Championships. Large windows with a view of the park for everyone. Then the dining room, also personalized with symbols of the federation and the colors of France. Les Bleus’ World Cup adventure has begun in all respects.
