Cap screwed on his head, microphone in hand, there he is heading towards the center of the field.
The show is about to start.
If “Les Corons” by Pierre Bachelet, which the sound system of the Bollaert stadium traditionally spits out before the start of the second period, remains a special moment that wins people's hearts, the pre-match hosted by Sylvain Lemoine, alias Sylvano, is just as expected.
Against Brest, last week, the 43-year-old announcer ignited Bollaert by inciting each stand, scarves outstretched in hand, to shout again and again, “louder, faster”, one of the letters corresponding to the name of the club.
For sure, it will still be Saturday evening fever in Lens against Nice (9 p.m.), this March 16.
With, as a high point: the announcement, which we find nowhere else in Ligue 1, of the composition of the Lens team in which Sylvano will launch, completely exalted.
Excerpts: “El numero quatorze et viene de Argentina… Facundo Medina”, “Number 7: the indestructible, the tireless, the inexhaustible… Florian Sotoca”… A real popular success to the point that children, in particular, have got into the habit of imitating him by repeating his punchlines.
