"The ultimate anti-star!" Raphaël Caucheteux as seen by...

Adrien Dipanda (teammate at Montpellier and Saint-Raphaël): "He's one of the biggest enigmas because he's not the most beautiful athlete, but he has incredible abilities and never gets injured. He was very crazy when he came out the day before the match, then he took it to the next level by studying matches from the smallest angles. He gives a lot of importance to what he does, but he remains detached from what it represents. The anti-star par excellence."

Valero Rivera (Nantes winger): "It's going to be very difficult to beat his record. He's achieved something incredible. Goals are part of his life. I'm happy to have competed with him."

Didier Dinart (former French national team coach): "I didn't focus on his age, but on his intrinsic quality. He's a positive person in a team. His speech about the taste of a medal after losing the semi-final during the Euro was the catalyst for me to go for the bronze medal."

Arthur Vigneron (teammate): "One day in weight training, while everyone was lifting weights, he took out some cards and performed a magic trick. It came out of the blue. Everyone was dying of laughter. Julien Thollet, the physical trainer at the time, was furious. It's a timeless moment that only Raph can create."
