Former world striker Djibril Cissé visited La Dernière Heure today. The French former striker spoke passionately about many things, but his link with Belgium is especially interesting.
“For me, Belgium will always be remembered as the country where I made my first selection for the French national team,” Cissé said. LDH. “It was just before the 2002 World Championship.”
“I replaced David Trezeguet at half-time and made a nice entrance, especially by putting a header on the crossbar. But in the end we lost that match, due to a great goal by Wilmots in injury time.”
But he also has friends there. Such as Guillaume Gillet, with whom he played at Bastia; “We have become very close after our time together with Bastia. He is a very good friend.”
“He really embodies the Belgians: bon vivants, people who create the atmosphere and are very hospitable. It is always good to have such a personality in the dressing room.”
And Daniel Van Buyten is also a man he can appreciate. “I played against Van Buyten many times. He was hard, strong and an excellent header. He was a complete player who lived through the heyday of my team, Marseille. And he is a very nice guy who I have a lot of respect for. Whenever we meet, we talk and get along well.”
