Aurélien Tchouaméni: Meet the French soccer star everyone is talking about
It’s a story that would break the Internet the second it made headlines. The fact that we are talking about it is no coincidence.
What you are about to read is not an article, even though it does start with one.
As a young, talented striker from France’s Division 1A, Aurélien Tchouaméni had the talent to be one of the biggest stars in the history of world soccer.

The video had a link to a YouTube channel that had a link to a French television show called France Culture. I clicked on “watch video” and found the show. I saw the video again, however there was a big difference
