He is one of the most sought after on the Pontaise after promotion to the Super League. Giovani Bamba (23), once kicked out of FC Sion’s U21s, is one of the heroes of Stade-Lausanne-Ouchy.
“It’s incredible to experience moments like this,” said the midfielder after sending his old club to the Challenge League.
Sirmakes is late
The black watch on Bamba’s wrist is hard to miss. Brand Franck Muller, the watch brand of Stade-Lausanne-Ouchy President Vartan Sirmakes (67). A gift for ascension?
“No, it’s Serge’s watch,” the six explain. “I don’t know exactly how much it’s worth, but it’s definitely a lot. I’ll look it up on the internet. We made a bet with Serge and he kept it.”
Serge means Serge Duperret, Vice President of Stade-Lausanne-Ouchy. The former patron of FC Le Mont remains mysterious when questions are asked about the bet. “I made a promise in the fall. When they climb up, I give them my watch. Giovani (Bamba) jumped on me almost immediately after the final whistle and I couldn’t say no.”
If the midfielder, goal scorer in the first leg, has already received his gift, what about the other players and staff? President Vartan Sirmakes is late for the celebration on the Pontaise. Before going to the players locker room, he lifts the veil.
«Inevitable with red and white»
“Yes, everyone gets a watch. We will make a custom order. Inevitably with red and white of course, those are our colors. We will definitely call them ‘promotion’ – ‘promotion’. But I will not tell you the value. You never talk to me about money!”
Giovani Bamba has a good laugh. So he gets two watches and he’s part of one of the most surprising rises in Swiss football. The Freiburger will not soon forget this evening. In the meantime, he should have found on the Internet that the vice president’s watch is worth about 20,000 francs.
