On the occasion of the 2387th match in the history of the Variétés club de France, Didier Deschamps and his partners left no chance for Vitorino Hilton, Souleymane Camara or Geoffrey Dernis, this Wednesday, in the Louis Michel stadium in Sète. Quickly led (4-0 after 23 minutes), the premises were never able to return to the match. It must be said that the objective, concerning them, was above all to offer playing time to as many people as possible, among the thirty or so footballers available.
the coach of the Blues, who had traveled the night before the meeting after his success in Finland with the France team, meanwhile played most of the match, and showed that he had nice leftovers, next to several figures of French football who do not have less: Alain Giresse, Benoît Cheyrou, Jean-Michel Guédé, Christophe Pignol, Christian Karembeu, Laure Boulleau, Mathieu Bodmer, Steve Savidan, Yohan Cabaye, Nicolas Douchez, Rudi Garcia, but also Sonny Anderson and Robert Pirès, both authors of a quadruple.
The training piloted for the occasion by Gilles Beaumian, former Sète trainer now in charge of pre-training at the MHSC, was therefore no match, but whatever. Everyone’s victory was found elsewhere: the pleasure of having given happiness to the public and the satisfaction of having worked for a good cause..
The Variety Club of France delegation played the game and took time to sign autographs, offer gifts and pose for photos, with the fans, young and old, present for this great event, wanted and in part organized by Jean-François Gambetti, president of FC Sète. The corridors as the surroundings of the enclosure were black with people, to welcome and greet the players, at the time of their departure. An extraordinary atmosphere and memories in your head.
