My Take
At 167 cm, Balmont is the kind of footballer I instinctively root for: a compact, hard-working midfielder who outlasted flashier names through grit and football intelligence. A Frenchman from near Lyon, he carved out a long career as a tireless ball-winner, the unglamorous engine every good team needs. There is something admirable about a small player who survives in the middle of the park on reading the game rather than physique, and I suspect that same awareness now serves him well as a coach. The fact that he runs his own social account suggests a player who never lost touch with the fans.
