AS Cannes is about to reconnect with its glorious past for an evening. The French Riviera club receives this Wednesday the Reims stadium in the semi-finals of the French Cup, thirty-three years after the semi-final lost to AS Monaco in 1992.
If she was going to go down in Ligue 2 a few days later, the Cannes team looked great with in particular Luis Fernandez and a young player named Zinedine Zidane. The 1998 Golden Ball spent five seasons at AS Cannes, completing its training there before discovering the professional world, and not surprisingly the native of Marseille is among the club legends.
Invited to designate the ideal eleven through the ages of AS Cannes, Sébastien Frey, a pure product of the Cannes training center, obviously did not fail to retain the champion of the tricolor world in the midfield, associating him in the midfield with two other big names of the Blues: Patrick Vieira, Johan Micoud and Luis Fernandez.
“He always had to have a ball with him, it was his best boyfriend”
“It's football. When he left for Bordeaux, those who had known him in Cannes loved to bring out anecdotes on him, told him about the former goalkeeper, launched in Ligue 1 at only 17 years old. When there was training in the afternoon, in the morning, he went to the locker room and spent hours doing technical work on his own. He always had to have a ball with him, he was his best boyfriend. »»
“I think he has a gift, but he cultivated it, as an artist does. He is part of the Football Olympe ”, Sébastien Frey, who selected in the goals again, retaining William Ayache, Ruud Krol, Bernard Casoni and Julien Escudé in defense as well as Charly Loubet and Bruno Bellone in attack.
