The president of the Stade de Reims Jean-Pierre Caillot wanted to pay tribute to Bernard Gonzalez, the doctor of the club who committed suicide on Sunday after being contaminated by the Covid-19: "Words fail me, I am stunned, prostrate before this news. This pandemic affects the Stade de Reims in the heart, it is a personality of Reims and a great professional of the sport who left us. His mission to the club of more than 20 years has been carried out with the utmost professionalism, in a passionate and even selfless manner. Doctor Gonzalez, in the harshest periods of the club, thus worked on a voluntary basis, confides Caillot. He is a precise doctor in his missions and an artist by his passions. Of course, there was friction between us, friendly friction, that of any club between the sportsman and the medical, but we had made this duality a game. He is my personal doctor, and today all my thoughts, those of the club, of which he will remain a strong figure, go to his wife and parents. Today is a tragedy that strikes us. ”
