1998 World Champion: Emmanuel Petit: "Many Football Teams Can Win the Title"

On vacation in Mauritius, 1998 World Champion Emmanuel Petit played football with two teams from Pointe-aux-Piments on Sunday, August 17, including the local Minister of Local Government, Ranjiv Woochit, on the village's worn-out lawn.

Despite suffering from knee and hip pain, the RMC consultant was determined to play to delight his fans. A welcoming committee even carried him triumphantly upon his arrival, accompanied by the rhythm of sega music and ravannes, along with dancers.
