Starting a World Cup match at home, Alain Boghossian knows what it means. On June 12, 1998, he participated in the entry of the Blues into the competition in Marseille against South Africa (3-0), the first of the seven marches which would lead Aimé Jacquet’s men to the first world title of their story. Entering the game twenty minutes from the end, the player trained at OM was able to measure the tension of entering the fray at home in the most beautiful of events. A rugby fan, he plans to follow the entire World Cup.
