On May 27, the lawn of Father-deschamps d'Auxerre will be the scene of an exceptional event: the Jubilee of Djibril Cissé, former emblematic striker of AJA. During a press conference held this Thursday in Auxerre, Cissé lifted the veil on the course of this day as well as on the list of prestigious guests present to honor his career.
Among the names announced, two world football legends will be there: Didier Drogba and Thierry Henry.
“When you need a Didier Drogba or a Thierry Henry, they tell you yes right away”said the former three-color international in remarks relayed by
The teamadding that “The people who will be there was important in my career”.
But the surprise comes mainly from the announced presence of Jean-Pierre Papin, who should coach the opposing team in this festive match. The former Ballon d'Or, which will be released from its functions at the Olympique de Marseille reserve, thus makes a remarkable return to a bench.
“I should have Jean-Pierre Papin coach from the other team and maybe Arsène Wenger”said Cissé, promising a choice board.
Zizou, the big absent!
However, an absent brand will miss the call: Zinedine Zidane. Djibril Cissé explained that the former master of playing French football will not be able to tread the Burgundian lawn due to an overly busy schedule. “He is not available, I still had it on the phone and he let me know. But we are still trying, you never know ”he said.
The former French international also spoke about the importance of doing this jubilee in Auxerre. “It was obvious that my jubilee took place at Father-Deschamps because this is where it all started”he explained. This date will also mark the opportunity to bring together many of its former teammates.
