Having spent only six months with OL, Claudio Beauvue does not regret his time. The striker was marked by Jean-Michel Aulas and Bruno Genesio.
This Saturday (9 p.m.), Claudio Beauvue hopes to bring back the good memories of Ligue 1 supporters and more particularly of Strasbourg. At 36 years old, the striker is still not done with football and keeps the fun going RC Calais. At 6 p.m., the northern club receives the Alsatian team and hopes to be able to relive an epic like that of the early 2000s. With its experience and a Coupe de France won with GuingampBeauvue intends to play spoilsport. “For the young players from Calais, it's exceptional. We're approaching this match as best as possible, very naturally. We hope that we can put in a superb performance in front of our home crowd, declared the former OL striker to Eurosport. Even today, people still talk to me about the epic of 2000.”
“Genesio, a top trainer, but also on a human level”
Closer to the end of his career than the beginning, Claudio Beauvue has not lost the flame, even in National 3. This 32nd final of the Coupe de France logically brings back happy memories, even at OL. However, he only stayed six months with a tumultuous relationship towards the end with the supporters. Nothing to make him regret this passage where “I discovered the Champions League”.
Left at Celta Vigo just six months after his arrival, Beauvue was marked by Jean-Michel Aulas and Bruno Genesio. “Bruno is great as a coach. He is also great on a human level. I respect him a lot as does Gérald Baticle (his ex-assistant). The president is a love. He was a father to a lot of players . At any time, you could call him. He was always there, whether sportingly or humanly speaking. I remember this human greatness.
Far from what he has let appear, through the media, all these years.
