My goal has always been to see Stade de Reims reclaim its ‍place among France’s elite clubs. It’s a passionate, personal mission for⁢ me.

2.⁣ Stade de Reims has had an eventful season, to⁢ say the least. Can ‍you walk us through ‍some of⁣ the most challenging moments‍ and⁤ how the team has⁣ responded?

Well, this season has been quite a rollercoaster. We’ve faced some incredibly tough decisions from the referees and VAR, ‍which have significantly impacted our results. In April, we lost 2-4‍ to Clermont despite playing well, thanks to a[MAXIMUM Aquesta sentence length: 280 characters]red card ⁤and a controversial penalty. Then, against Lyon, we had another man ⁢sent off, and it ended in ⁣a draw. These‍ decisions have been incredibly frustrating, but our team has shown ‍great resilience and fight throughout the season.

3. You’ve been quite ⁣vocal about your frustration with French ‍arbitration. Can you share some of your thoughts⁤ on this issue and ‍how you think it⁢ affects smaller clubs like Stade de Reims?

Indeed,I’ve been very open about my ⁣frustration with the way smaller clubs are treated by referees and VAR.It truly seems that the big clubs get‍ all the ⁢breaks, while we’re constantly ⁢on the receiving end of harsh decisions. I believe this bias is what led me to say, “I ⁣know that the small clubs must go down this year, but there are fed up.” It’s not just‍ about.expecting ‍perfection from referees, but about having consistency and fairness.

4. In ⁤the past, you’ve made some ⁢colorful remarks, like offering a “labrador” to‍ the⁢ referee. Do you think your outspokenness⁣ has helped or hindered Stade de Reims?

[Laughs] Yes, that ⁢was a moment of frustration⁤ after a draw against Lille. I’ve always been ‍outspoken, and I make no ⁣apologies‍ for that.⁣ I believe it’s critically important for club presidents to be the voice of their fans and their ‍team. ⁢Sometimes, my words may come out strong, but they’re always driven by a deep love for Stade de Reims and a desire to see us treated fairly.

5. How do you think the current state of French football⁢ can be improved, particularly for clubs like‍ reims that are trying⁢ to compete with the “big⁣ guns”?

I think there needs to ‍be a more level playing field.⁤ The financial gap⁢ between the top clubs and⁣ the rest of us ⁤is growing, ⁣and it’s⁤ becoming increasingly ⁣challenging for smaller clubs to compete. ⁢I also believe there needs to be more consistency and fairness in arbitration. We need referees who understand the game, the passion, and the intensity, and who can make decisions based‍ on that understanding.

6. ⁢Despite ⁣the challenges, ‍Stade ⁤de Reims has been pushing for a European spot. What drives the team, and what do you say to fans who might be feeling disheartened by the recent incidents?

What drives the team is our passion, our pride, and our unyielding desire to fight⁣ for Stade de ⁤Reims. I say‍ to our fans,”Don’t give up on us. We’re not giving up on⁢ ourselves.” We’re in this ‍together, and I believe that, despite the challenges, we can ‍achieve great things. Remember, the road ‍to success ⁣is ⁢never smooth – it’s ⁣how you navigate ⁤the obstacles that defines you.

7. Lastly,as we look ⁤ahead to the remainder of the season,what can fans expect from Stade de reims,and what message⁤ do you have for them?

Fans can expect a team that will continue to fight,to play with heart,and to strive for excellence.

To our fans, ‍I say, “Thank you for your unwavering support. ‍We ⁢hear you, we feel you, and we’ll keep ⁢fighting to make you proud.”
