World Cup Champion Adil Rami Reveals Emotional Journey from Poverty to Soccer Stardom

Adil Rami appeared in a documentary aired on the evening of Sunday, June 15, 2019 on France 5. Very moved, the Moroccan defender of the French national team talks about, in particular, his difficult childhood. In tears...
An excerpt from the documentary in question was broadcast last Friday on the "C à vous" set, where Adil answered questions from journalist-presenter Karim Rissouli.

In a tweet, we could see Adil, in tears, confiding his attachment and gratitude to his mother: "My mother, she’s the ’queen’," he said to "Closer" in
