Today, Oszer has become a famous French football training center, which is inseparable from Guy's strict discipline. Setting an example is another reason for his success. Every morning, he gets up at 8 o'clock on time to take part in the morning run. "For forty years, I have been absent for four times. And they are all sick! " There are many stories about Guy disciplining players. He used automobile odometer to prove that players go out to meet their girlfriends, arrange spies in the team and report to the coach regularly. He has done all these methods. But guy also has a good side. When cantona didn't play well in the south because he missed his girlfriend, Guy lent him to Nim, a second-rate team in the south, and played a game. A year later, Nim was demoted successfully, and cantona came back happily to give everyone a wedding candy.
Oszer players have no right to complain to reporters, which is another aspect of Guy Roux's harshness. After each game, Osser basically looks like this: at 22: 30, the old man appeared in the mixed zone on time, answered reporters' questions, and then stood at the player's exit like a bodyguard. "Shall we meet one or two players?" The reporters asked. "They are taking a bath!" Guy replied. Half an hour later, he added, "They are changing clothes." Ten minutes later, no player came out. "They are eating." Guy knows that the deadline for reporters is zero, and they can't afford to wait. Last year, the reporter of Team newspaper published an exclusive interview with Guy by Mexes, and was immediately retaliated strongly. The old man refused the reporter to enter the stadium. "The stadium is the property of our club, and I have the right to prevent this person from entering!" This guy is eloquent. Unlike famous French coaches such as Wenger and Jacques, Guy Roux has the appearance of a typical French farmer: short stature, bloated face, bright eyes on garlic nose, and always wearing a blue wool hat when it is cold. He also has a nickname: the meanest coach in French football. Guy's office is the smallest among French coaches, located under the stands of the stadium. There is a map of France given to him by his grandmother on the wall, and there is a big closet full of sundries in the corner. Wearing a pair of outdated sneakers, the only thing that doesn't match the indoor environment is a flat-screen TV, which was also given to him by the sponsor.
Oszer is one of the teams with the least funds in French football, so he has to ask all the expenses of the club. After the training, he should check whether the ball and equipment are lost; The fans in the stands secretly hid the ball, and Guy would interrupt the conductor and beg for it himself. "Every football is bought by the club." He said this. Guy's cunning has been known to many French journalists. He can invite you to dinner, but it is the invited person who pays the bill. Someone called him a miser, but instead of being angry, he showed off how stingy he was. Oszer doesn't have the financial resources of Paris and Marseille, but Guy has an idea. He seldom buys stars and earns money by transfer fees. Last year, Cisse, Cabo, Boumsong and Mexes made O 'Shea a windfall (30 million euros).
Guy roux is deeply loved by the French because he is closer to an ordinary person. He seems to be the weird grandfather in every family. His haggling over every ounce has become a cash cow. Advertisers have been talking to us about the image of "saving" in the past two days. He is wearing the clothes of Citroen team and asked for it after the advertisement. However, today, he can earn 654.38 million euros a minute by promoting mineral water, and he has not forgotten the money he earned by writing for a small newspaper 1966 to travel to Britain.
With the deterioration of physical condition, Guy Roux had to consider retiring. 200 11He had heart surgery and didn't return to the coaching staff until 20021. The doctor and his family urged him to leave, but Guy Lu hasn't realized his wish yet. On June 4, the old man got the fifth trophy, arranged a successor, and left with peace of mind. Santigny, the new head coach, talked with Guy Roux in the office for over an hour on the day of signing the contract. In front of the 66-year-old man, the former coach of the French team is just a student.
For the first time in 44 years, he can take his two lovely granddaughters to the French Antilles in the Caribbean for a stable holiday. There are many ways for the elderly to earn money after retirement: French TV 1 and European TV 1 will renew their guest appearances with him, and many football schools invite him to give lectures ... In fact, guy roux is also an excellent operator in personal asset management. He once persuaded professional players to invest in real estate, and he also bought a lot of real estate everywhere. Without football, the old man's old age is full of warmth in addition to good memories. There is a detail that can explain the problem. On June 5th, Spanish teenager Nadal won the French Open men's singles title, but the headlines of the world sports media were pushed to the second place by all French media. Because on the same day, O 'Shea coach Guy Roux announced his retirement.
It is a miracle to coach for 44 years alone, but it is unique in the world football to coach for 44 years in the same club. For nearly half a century, the French have become accustomed to this old man who wears a sweatshirt and a blue hat and likes to make two wisecracks. His retirement undoubtedly caused a great sensation. In the past two weeks, almost everyone in French football has paid tribute to the old man. "Today, when the head coach and even the president of the club change every three years, Guy Lu, the' tumbler', has won the admiration of everyone." Kallet, president of the French Football Association, lamented. "When I returned to the club after 20 years, Oszer's face didn't change. I am afraid there is only one such team in the world. " That's what the old captain Feral said (the president of Oszer Club hasn't changed for 42 years).
Jacques and Domenech congratulated "a living milestone in the history of French football", and even Platini, who had a bad relationship with coach Guy Roux, took off his hat. You know, over the past 40 years, more and more people have offended the strange old man. After Zidane retired from the national team, he was the only one who dared to criticize publicly, saying that Qi Zu "put personal interests before national interests". But when the old man really wanted to say goodbye, the French left him only respectful applause.
Indeed, in a small town with only 40,000 people, I took a county-level amateur team into the first class and have been active in France for 25 years. Guy Roux won the French Cup four times and the League title once. From this perspective, he is the founder of Oszer football. Moreover, he has trained many French international players, including cantona, Blanco, diomede, Polly, Cisse, Cabo, Mexes, Boumsong and so on. French football also thanks the old man. Out of loyalty to the club, he refused the invitation of the French national team twice and gave way to Santigny and Domenech; Also out of loyalty to the fans, he returned to the stadium two months after 20011heart bypass surgery. He reserved his decision to retire at the last minute and officially announced it after winning the French Cup. "Before the final, I trained 7-on-7, and I stole the football because it was my last training."
The owner of the only bar that is still open on Sunday outside the Deschamps Monk Stadium (the home of Oszer) expressed the feelings of local fans: "Guy is gone. For our town, it is like Paris without the Eiffel Tower. Football is everything to us. Today everyone seems to be an orphan."
