Campaigning in Avranches on April 19, the Minister of National Education, Youth and Sports took the opportunity to meet the football players of the local club, and try out, in front of an audience of enthusiasts and amateurs, a few shots on goal… great harm took him!
Jean-Michel Blanquer tries the shot on goal…
He would almost overshadow his candidate, Emmanuel Macron. Since Tuesday April 19, Jean-Michel Blanquer has indeed been on the front page of social networks. No controversy in connection with his portfolio as Minister of National Education, but with his football footwork. As part of the presidential campaign, the minister was traveling to Avranches, in Normandy, to support the outgoing president. The opportunity to visit the local football club, which made him feel the ball. With good will, Mr Blanquer lent himself to the game, under the eyes of amateur athletes and local media cameras. And the minister regaled them… at his expense! Three tries, three completely missed shots on goal, and even a slip in the last shot!
And fall!
Between the ball going completely sideways and his costume slide during his final shot, Jean-Michel Blanquer does not fail to make Internet users laugh, who have had a field day making fun of the minister’s sporting torments. On Twitter, it’s even a festival of jokes and good words, often paralleling his relative mastery of the ball and his skills at the head of the Ministry of National Education, Youth and Sports.
Blanquer, bad student in sport?
Between sport and Jean-Michel Blanquer, it’s a cow love story. The minister may encourage and promote the playing sports at school, having even made it a mission to fight against the sedentary lifestyle of students, or even against early obesity, it is clear that he himself canceled his indoor subscription a long time ago. Another video of the minister, taking a PE course, had also sparked the same jokes. Definitely, if Jean-Michel shows good will, he still does not seem to be up to speed, but he has the merit, all the same, of persevering and playing the game! Remains to be seen if re-elected, Emmanuel Macron will offer a repetition to his minister.
