In Paroles d'Ex and L'Equipe, the former and striker, Habib Bamogohad the right to his portrait and the questions retracing his career. And then came the question of who was the “literally craziest” player? The name of a player who played for the Girondins de for a single season then emerged, Cyril Roolwhom he met on the Côte d'Azur and more precisely at OGC Nice.

“Cyril Rool. Yet he was a cream off the field. But sometimes he really lost his temper. He did anything. After a defeat with Nice, where Ederson had only played for him, he turned the locker room in front of Roger Ricort, the sports director, who defended him. Even though he was captain, he had a strange relationship with Frédéric Antonetti (the coach). Almost united after their joint visit to . Cyril called him Fred. Which didn't prevent things from getting heated between them, like a father with his son. One day, Antonetti abruptly kicked him out of training. We were shocked. They had to go for a drink in the evening, and the next day it was forgotten.”

And indeed, there was a special relationship between
Cyril Rool et Frédéric Antonettias the latter told it on Corsica .

“Cyril Rool's story is wonderful to tell… Cyril Rool, things are going badly with , in the derby, and Gazelec no longer wants us to play at their place. So we play the last two matches in Aix en Provence. In Aix en Provence, there was someone who was going to watch the match, and as a curtain raiser there was Cyril Rool who was playing WITH Aix en Provence. That's where he told his son that he had to be taken… He came to the trial, and then we took him… Here's the career he subsequently had. It doesn't matter much… If we continue to play in Ajaccio, maybe it won't have the same destiny… Stories like that, I have a few.”
