Clairefontaine is responsible for refining and perfecting the technical and tactical acumen of players like Thierry Henry, Louis Saha, Medhi Benatia, Nicolas Anelka, William Gallas, Hatem Ben Arfa, Abou Diaby, Olivier Giroud, Blaise Matuidi, and the recent crown jewel of
the program, PSG’s Kylian Mbappe.
There were 50 players born in France representing various nations at the 2018 World Cup, an astounding figure that demonstrates the scope of France’s ability to produce football players. But how did the French perfect the concept of player development? How has this country continuously produced the most exciting, powerful, technical, and tactically smart players on the planet?

does england, germany, or USA have an equivalent?
egoistical propaganda
Se sedation all
all these players..but still a farmers league.
lol france just brings over people from her colonies and uses their kids to boost her name… lets not kid ourselves
A fountain of players
Colonialism
France has played 5 finals of a major international tournament in the last 20 years (Euro or World cup)… just sayin, they're the best team in the world over that period, and will be for the next 20.
World cup winner in 1998, and 2018, World cup finalist in 2006 (and they were by far the best team), Euro winner in 2000, and Euro finalist in 2016 (again being the best team), they failed once or twice (2002, 2010), they could have done a great performance in the 2014 World cup, but they played Germany in quarter lost 1-0 in a very close game against the next world champion.
So overall, no national team come even close to that level of performance since two decades… and if they win the Euro 2021, it's over.
4:20 The defensive line was Thuram, Dessailly, Lizarazu and BLANC. Not Leboeuf who was just Blanc's replacement for the final because Blanc was suspended.
Fascinating explanation, thank you!
I really hope ligue 1 gets more investment like the premier league and bundesliga, the worlds best footballing country should be able to keep that talent for longer in their domestic league
communism will rule the world sooner or later 👍
Henry was there in 98 too
The French are the best political manipulators, and also the same times, best football actors in the world.
Simply put, Lionel Messi should have come from Clairefontaine, not La Masia.
My french ears bleed
I stopped at communist
They need to make a documentary about this school
4:20 Actually Laurent Blanc was ahead of Frank Leboeuf. Frank Leboeuf only got to play in Final because of Laurent Blanc's red card in the semi final against Croatia
Great video, little mistake though : Henry was there with the national team in 1998.
Small precision. Players are selected at the age of 12 usually. Then stay until they're ~15, before (hopefully) joining the pro club that signs them during that 3 year span. Some get signed at the age of 12, still train at Clairefontaine over those 3 years but play with their club for matches on the weekend.
(I've been at the selection)
Bonjour !
Communism in action. Beautiful.
Brazil be like hold my beer 😂😂
Hi am footbolls am look for a agents who can hellp me plz ⚽️⚽️⚽️
What font do they use for the videos? It’s perfect.
To those who ask about L1 weakness : it s all about money and most precisly our tax system. If a player wants to get the same salary than in England, Spain or Italy, the french has to pay him way more to compensate his futur taxes. Neymar is a good instance. Paris, with the money from Qatar, is the only club able to pay way more than english or spanish clubs to compensate higher taxes the players will pay in France. Things would be different with a common European tax system.
