This is my favorite video ever and I had to share it with you. Le Périple Rouge is a documentary about Monaco, from 2003-2004, when the club made it to the Champions League finale. In the team were a lot of funny and talented players like Giuly, Morientes, Squillaci, Givet, Evra and more!
The video shows their european competition and get you inside their intimity, sharing the difficult moments and the funny ones. And you will see that they're really funny!
So here are pics from the documentary and the video itself (about one hour) - even if you don't speak french, I recommend you to watch it because the boys are so much fun and love!
Ludovic Giuly
Patrice Evra
Ludovic Giuly is Tony Parker!
Fernando Morientes - you're gonna see a lot of him because he was my crush then
and because he's handsome :)
Coach!! Didier Deschamps <3
Clubbing with players of Paris (here Heinze) after Monaco-PSG
It's cold in Russia!
Morientes with Hugo Ibarra
Giuly
Sebastien Squillaci
Squillaci about Julien Rodriguez: "He looks like Playmobil in Russia!"
The staff with the coach, playing to "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly"
Dado Prso
Morientes is happy: "Vamos a Madrid!"
Glad to be "home". They're gonna play against el Real in 1/4.
Evra is impressed by all the people and journalists who came at the airport to welcome Nando...
Nando looking at Santiago Bernabeu, his previous home stadium...
Lucas Bernardi
Giuly: "Does it look good one me?"
Giuly meets Morientes's family and friends at their hotel in Madrid.
Celebrating humbily after scoring against Madrid - he loves the fans here, cause they have always supported him.
Gael Givet and Jaroslav Plasil with a young fan.
Bernardi and a beer: ""What I'm doing... it's not good!"
silly!Morientes
On the bus, Morientes sings his song from when he was in Madrid: "Que Viva Morientes!"
In Monaco, after Raul scored for Real Madrid. Is he trying to make Morientes feel jealous?
Nando, I love you but don't wear that shirt again!
Half-time. Giuly asks Zidane to let Monaco scores some goals^^
Celebrating after scoring.
They did it. They won against Madrid. The players have barely conscience of what they've done
but happiness is all over and I'm nearly crying of joy in front of my TV...
Morientes: "This season is in my heart forever". <3
Happy!Nando = happy!me
L'Equipe, on the following day.
Our goalkeeper, Flavio Roma.
Gael Givet and Julien Rodriguez:
"Our rooms are next to each other's. So we can use the little communicating door between them to see each other...
and to do things for adults only..."
I'm not joking, they really do say that!
The proof: they pretend to kiss each other in the elevator of the hotel...
and Givet kiss Rodriguez goodnight!
This made me hate Chelsea for years. And Dessailly. I didn't care if he was a member of the french NT.
because he hurt deliberately Nando with his elbow (and didn't even got a yellow card...)
And I hated Makelele to cause he simulated and Zikos was sent off.
Well, it took me years to calm down and I'm okay with Chelsea now...
Hopefully, even with 10 players on the pitch, Monaco won et Nando scored!
In England. Morientes laughs because you have to turn left on the turn-abouts!
Emmanuel Adebayor
Evra: "This is the first time I go to an hotel where there're already umbrellas in the rooms!"
This is for the beautiful english weather^^
According to a newpaper, Morientes is the most payed player of the Ligue 1 with 4,5 millions of euros...
Morientes, laughing: "That's not true!!"
So Giuly decides to give him the key of Monaco's Bank safe...
Nando scoring in Stamford Bridge
Happy! They're going to play the finale!
Again, Giver, Rodriguez and Squillaci can't keep their hands in their pockets^^
OT3^^
Morientes on the phone, telling the person he's talking to to listen his mates singing yelling
"Que viva Morientes" on the bus.
Morientes singing in French: "On est en finale!!"
And still singing, but this time with the micro on the plane!
Edouard Cissé: "Calm down, Morientes!"
Evra (about Mori): "Look a him, he's not happy... He had already played 4 finales..."
Cissé: "We told him: you come to Monaco, you play a finale!"
And Morientes looks very happy indeed!
Flavio Roma doing some crosswords: "It's too easy, I'm too clever!"
Givet with love in his eyes...
and he kisses Squillaci! For real this time! :D *squee*
Givet...
... and Rodrigez.. what are they up to?
Hugging of course!
Love how Adebayor is sitting in the locker room!
I was there! :D
No, Flavio Roma isn't trying to drown himself!
Giuly as a goalkeeper!!
he's not very good at it!
Morientes cheating while playing billard!
Squillaci: sex!tongue
Jaroslav Plasil is love!
In the bus, a few hours before the finale.
To get rid of the tension, they start singing I will survive
and it gives me the chills each time I see this...
Morientes can't believe it
But they all got crazy and it's beautiful to see!
The end!
This last scene is amazing! I can't stop grining after watching it. You can see that it's not just about football and club, it's about friends having fun, enjoying to play together. They look like a family <3
