How do you feel about finishing your career after this title?
Gilham Girado. I’m happy tonight. I leave with dignity and pride. With a lot of emotions. With my family there to support me. I have a special story with the Stade de France. When I stood for the French team, I did not know if I would have the opportunity to return. I did not dare to have such a beautiful ending… I have experienced a lot of suffering in this stadium during my career in the French national team or in clubs. So, such an ending allows me to leave with beautiful stars in my eyes և, first of all, something beautiful for the club of Montpellier. Have a nice party. And it will take two months, believe me, because I do not have a resumption of training in August (Laughter):
Does this end reward a long battle?
However, I had to wait thirteen years (to mention the editor’s second title after Perpignan in 2009), but before that I broke my teeth and cried in the two finals lost to Perpignan (2010) and Toulon (2015). , two clubs dear to me. After that, I never believed I could taste at least a final, or even a coronation. As in life, you must always depend, always cross your boundaries, always believe in your dreams.

Is it revenge?
No. But never to miss is pride. Sacrifice is a strong word for me. In my daily life, at work, my passion. I’m not revenge, I’m just satisfied.

You failed to record a concussion on the field in just 27 minutes…
Word count did not work. You have to remember ten words. I didn’t save much because of the pressure և bets. Four-five… Unfortunately, that was not enough for me to get back into the game, besides, the independent doctor told me that I was not in control of my body during the blow, that my left arm was completely weakened… C It was annoying. , disappointing, but I do not hold it against anyone. The health of the players is important.
Could this success force you to change your mind about retiring?
No No. (Smile) Now open the way for young people. I gave everything I had to give, I said everything I had to say. I tried to pass, to leave an inheritance. I did my job. 36 years old is a good age. And stopping at the coronation… The only small regret is that I did not win the title with Toulon, but RCT gave me the European Cup. So I’m still spoiled. It’s time to dump her and move on.
