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...

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
