Qwas a club of the French Tenth Division grabbing headlines in national and international media is very complicated. Nevertheless, FC Grésilles has managed to be on everyone’s lips. The reason is none other than a series of player support videos such as Ronaldinho, Zinedine Zidane and Franck Ribery, and coaches the likes of Roberto Mancini and Stefano pioli.
As reported L’Equipe, the social growth of the club is being meteoric.

The architect of this, however, remains in the shadows. The president of Grésilles reported that it is the consequence of the skills of a former player of the club, nicknamed ‘Scofield’ and that, despite everything, he wishes to remain anonymous and rejects any interview. “He knows a lot of people in the world of football. One day he told me that Ronaldinho was going to send us a message and I didn’t believe him. However, it happened, “says Haie.
The president of the Grésilles admits, yes, that one day the exhibition will “lower”, although while they take advantage of the situation. “We are savoring it. Perhaps one day ‘Scofield’ will convince one of his acquaintances to come take a little tour of Les Grésilles.
