these stories of friendship that have marked several disciplines

“We can practice the same sport, we can sometimes even compete and develop a long and beautiful relationship of friendship”assures the journalist Samuel Ollivier in his sports column of Wednesday September 28, for the 8 Hours of France 2. According to him, “the most beautiful friendship in sport and in football is undoubtedly Zinédine Zidane and Christophe Dugarry”. “These two have won everything, or almost. This ‘bromance’ was born in the 90s, in Bordeaux”adds Samuel Ollivier.

“However, everything separates them, a priori. Dugarry is the lodger, the big mouth. And Zizou, we can’t be more shy. However, they found each other well”, says the journalist. On the other hand, some friendships ended in tears. “It’s the story of two families, bound by friendship: the Bianchis and the Leclercs. Jules and Charles became Formula 1 drivers. They are eight years apart, yet they were immediately friends in childhood”, explains Samuel Ollivier. In 2014, Jules Bianchi died suddenly while racing after a terrible accident in Japan. Since then, Charles Leclerc continues to honor his memory.
