Words still reason. A few minutes after the final whistle of a Classic won by PSG (3-1), Roberto de Zerbi had a message to convey.
“You call it a classico, for me, it's not a classico,” had launched OM coach at a press conference. We cannot compare the workforce and the economic force of the two clubs ”.
“The classico is when there is a fight, you take a blow, you put one, had continued Italian. I like pressure but it is not reality between Paris and Marseille. I may be crazy but I see it like that. There is no competition, really. »»
OM looks like a second
Words that have been reported to his counterpart Luis Enrique, who did not hesitate to answer him. “” There are no doubts that PSG is a team that has great economic potential and it is something that I like. Being able to access any player, it would not miss it that it bothers me. To those who don't like it, too bad, it's football. We want to be competitive to write the story and beat the best teams. For that, it takes money, players and a good idea for a game and it is our project. Of course many are jealous when they see the difference but the world of football is thus done. The powerful financial teams dominate and this is our objective: to dominate in France as in Europe. We will see if we will get there… ”.
The fact remains that the outcome of this shock between the two biggest rivals of French football no longer leaves room for suspense: with 19 points ahead of its Marseille runner-up 8 games from the finish line, Paris Saint-Germain has already assured its title of champion of France and could even seal it definitively during this return weekend. For OM and Roberto de Zerbi, the gap is now impossible to fill. And if the Marseillais certainly look in their rear view mirror, the copy rendered to the Parc des Princes is reassuring: OM looks like a second.
