It was the time of folk trips, himself driving the players’ coach, long days and permanent overtime. It was also the time of the beginnings of his collaboration with Rudi Garcia, from 2002 to 2007. A duo which will radically transform Dijon Football Côte-d’Or (DFCO), will seek a double Cup-Championship with Lille (2011) and will train AS Roma and Marseille.

Arriving on the Rade, in the offseason, Waisea Nayacalevu (32) was preceded by his reputation as a lethal weapon. It will however have taken time to put his game. Laborious beginnings, frayed matches, fallen balls… In the stands of Mayol, some wondered if the Fijian had not “lost his hands”. ” Far from there, rectifies Franck Azéma the manager of the RCT. It is even its first quality. In his first match, against Bayonne, he broke the defensive line well, but threw the ball blind because, unconsciously, he thought: “It’s going to converge around me.” He had just spent ten years at the Stade Français. After all this time, the automatisms and the background of the game were set up to harmonize around him. In Toulon, Waisea had to do the opposite, but he arrived in a club project in full development. Fine-tuning the automation, the timing and the feeling requires hours of practice. »

“The moments of glory, we appreciate them, we live them. They remain in our memories, but they do not serve much. On the other hand, the slaps we take… The mark remains, the feeling remains, the pain remains. We remember. » At the turn of a portrait, published on September 19, 2015 in our columns, Saïd Chabane spoke at length about his life, his work, and dropped these few sentences. They resonate quite differently with hindsight.
We must at least recognize a merit to Todd Boehly: the president of Chelsea does not shirk when he is handed a microphone. But this quality is detrimental to him today, since the English media have not ceased to make fun, in recent days, of his prediction launched at Sky Sports (“We are going to win 3-0 tonight! »), on April 12, leaving a restaurant in Madrid, a few hours before the defeat of his team (0-2) at Santiago-Bernabeu in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Lille put arnica on the slap received in Angers (0-1). The northern team is the type to be scared. But his audacity prevailed at the time of the accounts. Returning to fifth position in L1 after its snatch success against Montpellier (2-1), LOSC can once again rely on two real full-backs, Ismaily on the left, Bafodé Dakité on the right. But also on the repeated explosiveness of Edon Zhegrova in the right lane. Three players entered in the second period who changed the course of a meeting which could have swung to the wrong side.
