Les Cahiers du football ( CDF ) ( dt. "The football books") is a the football dedicated website that also appeared printed from 2003 to 2009. In November 2009, the editors announced the end of the paper edition due to financial problems, especially following a lost trial against journalist Denis Balbir.

history

In Paris actually founded in December 1997 by Clément Jumeau, Curtis midfield and Jamel Attal, the beginnings of were Cahiers du football messy and characterized by selective work breaks.

According to the creators themselves, the basic concept behind the founding of the Cahiers was to create a “weird magazine” that was “satirical and critical”. The magazine jokingly calls itself magazine de foot et d'eau fraîche (“magazine for football and fresh water”). The name Cahiers du football pays homage (or a wink) to the Cahiers du cinéma . The first edition was published on Tuesday, November 4th, 2003.

Today the Cahiers are known for their humorous slogans and overviews of the scene, or their weekly nonsense poll.

On October 19, 2007, Mango À partir de là (“from then on”) was published by the publishing house , an anthology of the football speech written by the editorial staff of the Cahiers . A second volume, Oui je crois que bon… (something like “I guess…”), was published in December 2008 by the same publisher. A fictional, intimate diary by Raymond Domenech , Les petits papiers de Raymond , was also published in 2008 and was illustrated by the illustrator Berth.

The Cahiers were illustrative material for the professional wrestling side, les Cahiers du Catch . They also welcomed the “Birth of a Little Brother” with an article entitled Du sang, de la sueur et des larmes (“Blood, Sweat and Tears”).

On March 10, 2013, the Cahiers created the “ Dream Football League ” with their own Agence Transe Presse , a fictional elite Arab football league in which “Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Juventus Turin, AC and Inter Milan, Paris Saint-Germain are among the already confirmed participants ", which was the source of inspiration for the British journalist Oliver Kay for an" exclusive article "or an involuntary duck in the London Times (even if this was his obvious - possibly . that went wrong due to a lack of language skills - copying initially denied) and was again uncritically distributed by other English media as a real report. Finally, on March 18, the Times officially admitted it had been copied.

Donated prizes

Like other football magazines, the Cahiers also have their trophy, which is awarded by annual readers' votes: the Ballon de Plomb (“leaden ball”). Francis Llacer, Fabrice Fiorèse, Benoît Pedretti , Bernard Mendy , Matt Moussilou , Frédéric Piquionne , Mateja Kežman and Yohan Demont are the winners of this "most prestigious prize in European football" from 2003 to 2010.

After the European Championships in 2004, the Micro de Plomb (the “leaden microphone”) was launched, which makes fun of memorable sayings from commentators. The first award winner was Charles Biétry. For the 2006 World Cup , Frank Lebœuf , then an expert for the French broadcaster M6, was the “honored” one. In 2010 the award went to Christian Jeanpierre.

In the summer of 2007, the Cahiers du football awarded the "Heftspiralen", alternative awards for football and fresh water, half serious, half humorous, which, however, remained unique.

At the end of 2010, a new prize was launched: the Ballon d'Eau fraîche ("fresh water ball"). This honors players who most closely correspond to the values ​​propagated by the Cahiers and, together with the Ballon de Plomp, is understood as a complementary criticism of the Ballon d'Or by France Football . The first recipient was Jérémie Janot from AS Saint-Étienne .

"Manifesto to save football"

Since they were - rightly or wrongly - accused of a sterile and more or less systematic style of criticism, the Cahiers have drawn up a manifesto pour sauver le football containing 33 points on eight main categories. This manifesto, which represents a sporty and humanistic - as opposed to a financial and entrepreneurial - conception of a football freed from its mistakes and excesses, enjoys a certain popularity with lovers of the sport, whereby the only really contentious point is the bitter rejection of the video evidence on the part the cahiers lies.

The proposals of this manifesto are as follows:

  • Schedule and national selections
    • Harmonization of the global game board
    • Limitation of the number of competitions
    • Guarantees for the national teams
  • Law and regulation
