If it is a monument other than the stadium of Father-deschamps at AJ Auxerre, it can only be Guy Roux. Emblematic coach of the Burgundian club, the one who officiated on the bench from 1961 to 2005 obviously marked the players he had under his direction. At the rank of these, Philippe Violuau has not forgotten his time spent in Auxerre and came out a little anecdote putting Guy Roux on stage.
The former midfielder who passed by Auxerre twice (1993-1997 and 2003-2006) engaged in his career in an interview with this Sunday to The team. The opportunity for him to evoke the various clubs in which he played, the teammates and the adversaries which he crossed and rubbed shoulders. And he necessarily mentioned the name of Guy Roux. He did it when revealing “The anecdote that(he has) never dared to tell “.
“Guy Roux is a nature lover. In the stadium, when we made the walks, he managed all the time to, at some point, put himself not far from the new new one. He stopped and said to him: 'Here, look at that, it's such a flower'. He rediscovered and a little further: 'You see, it's this flower'. The new one was always entitled to it. We made us laugh. »» And Philippe Violauau to continue on another memory.
Guy Roux and meals at AJA
“At the table, he put himself in the middle of the players. You can imagine that it was who would not be next. You really shouldn't happen the last one, everyone was on time. »» Perhaps a little embarrassed by this unconvationsible confidence, the former Olympique Lyonnais added some small compliments to pass the pill.
“Afterwards, he is a very cultivated person who could talk about everything and anything. Always in benevolence. »»
Champion of France (1996) and winner of two French Cups with Auxerre (1996, 2005), Philippe Violeau has always retained a special recognition for the one who is now eighty-six years old and who remains close to AJA, his second house.
