This was particularly the case with Ronan O'Garawho this Saturday surprised everyone by suggesting that everything was going well now. “ It's been maybe five years since I last spoke to Christophe. I know it's a very competitive environment but it's good, I shook his hand before the match and now it's love » declared the manager of Stade Rochelaisalso well known for being a sulphurous personality.
“Ronan is the specialist in that, hooking up guys”
Guest of the show Stephen Brunch this Sunday, Christophe Urios was invited to return to this surprising release ofO'Gara. « With his accent I didn't really understand if it was love or death (laughing). It's true that we clash with guys and that happens to me often, because I'm so into my own thing. I don't like people coming to piss me off, it's part of me. And Ronan is the specialist in that, hooking up guys » declared the coach of Clermontat the microphone of RMC Sport.
“Actually he arrived in our locker room, with a few beers”
« It's true that we had butted heads several times and yesterday it happened that at half-time on the stairs I found myself facing him so I was a bit… not obliged, because If I didn't want to I wouldn't have done it, I would even have stepped on his foot. But I shook his hand and he said something quite surprising to me when he asked me to meet at the end of the match. » said Christophe Urios. “ At the end, I was a little disappointed and I moved on. In fact he arrived in our locker room, with a few beers and I found it really nice. We both drank a small beer and obviously it made the locker room laugh ».
