From hell to heaven
Signed Carlos Valdeira and Romain Sublon (Editions du Signe), this album tells the story of RCSA’s descent into helland of his mad ascent.
The comic shows the demotion of Racing to CFA 2 (5th division) in 2011, its takeover by Marc Keller, and its gradual rise in Ligue 1, which it has not left since.
The supporters respond
It brings back memories for the supporters: “I remember it was the year of my marriage, I was building my life and Racing was collapsing next door“, confides Grégory, club jersey on the back. “Now that we are at the highest level again, these are good memories“Laughs this regular at La Meinau.
“The symbol is nice in the sense that you can realize that when you’ve hit rock bottom, you can only go up, and that’s kind of what Racing represents in terms of philosophy.“, adds Paul.
Delphine, who has already read the album, opens it and shows a page: “we really see the different emotions of the players during the climbs, I think it’s a beautiful image“, smiles this fan of 20 years.
Marc Keller, very happy for the supporters
Marc Keller, who took over the club in 2011, said to himself “very happy for all the supporters“. The former midfielder of Racing (1991-1996) finds that the album “perfectly retraces what has happened over the past 10 years. The course has been incredible and everyone has played a role in this recovery: club employees, communities, and of course the public, this success is collective“.
