Serge Betsen: “It is a real pleasure to be the city’s ambassador”

“I grew up here on clichés. As you know, I was born in Cameroon. I came to Clichy when I was 9 years old. Three years later I discovered rugby. And rugby made me be here. It is a real pleasure to be an ambassador of the city. Thank you, Mayor, for this honor. It is a pleasure to be able to create this cultural link between Team GB and Clichy since I finished my career in England. And this link continues to be cultivated between activities and my daily life,“He spoke to the press, before answering our questions.

“My heart doesn’t beat at all. Living there, it is obvious that my heart will beat 300% for France. This cultural discovery of the Anglo-Saxons allowed me to realize that they are so passionate about sport, which naturally sharpens the will to tell me that the French are going to support them. Whatever the sport, we will push for as many French athletes as possible to win medals. There is this idea of ​​cordial understanding that exists. We are the best enemies, we know it. We continue to cultivate it because it enriches our relationships. That’s what’s important.”
