Since the announcement of the death of Bernard Lacombe, a wave of tributes has brought up on the capital of Gaul. But a man was logically more expected than the others to greet the former striker of Olympique Lyonnais. This man is obviously Jean-Michel Aulas. The former president of the Gones has chosen to speak at the microphone of RMC To salute the memory of the one who was his emblematic adviser. “You know this is terrible news, but also relief. I was with Bernard yesterday afternoon. He suffered a lot, at some point, when we redo the 37 -year -old film spent together, we always tend to think of beautiful stories. But in 37 years, it is a life that takes place quickly. Bernard was one of his exceptional men. All the people who knew him know how funny and relevant he could be. As far as I am concerned, I said my brother because it was more than a friend, it had become a confidant with whom we shared everything. He taught me everything. When in 87 I will see Claude Bez in Bordeaux to ask him who I had to bring in Lyon, Bez instantly talks to me about Bernard. Since then, we have not left each other. We spent days, nights, exceptional moments together. I think of Mireille his wife, of her two sons. Bernard is someone apart and I had to tell you ”he said, before posting a message on X.
«There are pain that we do not share. Today is that of losing Bernard. Thirty-seven years of a friend without mask. Rare fidelity. He never spoke to say nothing. But when he spoke, it was right. And often decisive. In Lyon, we have lived everything together: defeats, rebirths, summits. What he embodied will not die. The humility of the player. Respect for the club. And this quiet faith that bore difficult days. I will miss in the noisy days, and even more in calm days. In Mireille, to her children, I mean my deep affection. And kiss them as we kiss those who know, even in silence, what it means to love. Farewell Bernard. And thank you».
