A player from Troyes received a somewhat special welcome Bollaert Friday during the match against RC lens (1-0, 7th matchday of Ligue 1). This is Adil Rami, the former defender of Lille and France, winner of the World Cup in 2018.
Bollaert he has not forgotten his past as a great mastiff. We could then hear whistles or chants of insults against him. But the defender, a handsome player, praised Bollaert during a video made on his snapchat: “ Even though I was adopted by Lille and I am madly in love with this city, this region, this club, that doesn’t stop me from saying things about Bollaert: I was disturbed, you enjoyed Lensois! What I can understand is logical, it is normal. It is true that there is a great rivalry between Lens and Lille, but I just want to get back to the atmosphere at the Bollaert stadium: it is one of the best atmospheres of my career. I did the stadiums obviously and even if it’s not that strong … compared to Sevilla where it was extraordinary, playing in Liverpool, I have so many games like that, going to Bayern, the derbies in Italy with Milan-Inter or Sevilla-Bétis, with crazy atmospheres, but still the atmosphere of Bollaert, when you come home with a pounding heart … “
The defender above all recognizes and appreciates the authenticity of Lensois’s audience: “What I really like is that there are the songs, they have the songs, real things, you can’t buy it or learn something from the audience, they have it in them and it’s beautiful. . And yet I got excited, but that’s part of the game! That’s right, you’re insulting, what … At least they know my name, they remember me! (Smiles) But in any case the atmosphere was crazy, crazy and it’s for that’s why I don’t stop playing football. It’s for those times. I’m grateful for that, even if we lost. At the same time, Lens are a great team. Congratulations for that, not for the insults, but thanks for those moments . “
