Description
L’OUVRAGE - Biographie Janvier 2010, l’équipe nationale du Togo s’apprête à disputer la coupe d’Afrique des nations en Angola. Elle n’arrivera jamais à destination. Son car est mitraillé. Trois personnes perdent la vie et une dizaine sont blessées. Kodjovi Obilalé, le gardien de but, est grièvement atteint par deux balles dans le corps. Il est déclaré mort par quelques journalistes, il est ressuscité par d’autres quelques heures plus tard. C’est le début d’un long calvaire. Son témoignage poignant et acéré nous fait vivre la trajectoire d’un footballeur africain à la recherche de la gloire : du Togo à l’Europe, du club de quartier à la sélection nationale, de l’agent véreux aux instances africaines corrompus. Une aventure humaine qui croise la route de personnalités diverses, la femme de Nelson Mandela, Philippe Pozzo di Borgo "Intouchables", Zinédine Zidane... Une magnifique leçon de vie pour ce Breton d’adoption qui a pu compter sur la solidarité, pas forcément là où il l’attendait.
