Like what Nak would be too powerful … It's normal, it is the president of the number one club in France, with the biggest budget, and who is reigning champion. It is normal that it is powerful. This was the case at the time with Aulas and Tapie “, Judge Nicolas Anelka, regretting a certain” relentlessness »On Qatar in France.

“It's also very dangerous to do that”

It is also very dangerous to do this because if Qatar decided to leave, it would be very bad for the French championship which is already in difficulty. It's up to them to ask themselves the question. Why so much relentlessness on Qatar and Al-Khelaïfi? Because that's not the solution … »»

In his eyes, Qatar in any case is not likely to disengage soon from his Parisian project. “” Qatar is still as involvedestimates Nicolas Anelka. They made a lot of investments lately with the new training center. They try to buy the stadium. If they can't do it, they will build another stadium. This shows the level of involvement of Qatar. They also made a lot of investments in Paris. On the sportsman, they are also looking for this Champions League. I think PSG is a great investment for them. »»

And to salute QSI's success at PSG: “ It is an exceptional assessment. We no longer count the Ligue 1, French Cup trophies. They have had the championship since their arrival. (…) Since Qatar has been there, this is another dimension. We saw it with the players who came. Before PSG was in difficulty, since they are there it is one of the best European clubs. »»
