In the Legends Podcast, the former central defender and trainer at the Girondins de Bordeaux, Marius Trésortold a terrifying anecdote about what had happened to his wife in Corsica.
“Now, young players don’t get married much anymore but we, to keep things serious, we got married earlier. I got married, I was 22 years old. I got married in Ajaccio to a Corsican. The father is Corsican, the mother was from Marseille, the grandmother was in Corsica. When the dad found out that she was going out with a black guy, she wasn’t a good sight the next day… He had smashed her… He had questioned the leaders of Ajaccio the first time when I met her, he It was known where I ate at lunchtime to go and question everyone, in order to get their opinion of me. But he had already smashed his daughter, as soon as he found out she was dating a black guy.”
But what was his reaction to this?
“She wasn’t sleeping with me, she was still at her grandmother’s. He arrived at his grandmother’s house and… She was unrecognizable the next day. I saw him, the father, a few days later and he asked me what I planned to do with his daughter… I told him that I loved his daughter and that I could marry her. And then it calmed down immediately […] In the end, afterward, it went well. His name was Achille, and he left us some time ago.”
