Consultant for Canal+the former OL player, Sidney Govou, was comments from the Champions League semi-final between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain (0-1). And obviously, his glowing comments on the Luis Enrique team did not go well with Lyon and Marseille fans. Victim of insults, Govou came out of silence on his X account. “Lyon supporters, Marseillais, etc. I am not Parisian, but I like football and what this PSG offers is exceptional, despite your insults, I will never prevent myself from saying it. The day your teams will be at this level, I will also say it with more pleasure for OL anyway ”he wrote, before confiding in the Parisian.
“”Because I prefer to laugh about it and I had nothing else to do. But it's not something exceptional you know. Right now, I'm commenting on L 1 games less, but when I was doing, I was entitled to it every time. As soon as I say the good of an action in Lyon, there are necessarily Marseillais or Parisians, who are convinced that I do it by favoritism. If I say that OM has played well, Lyonnais tell me that I have no right. It's my daily life. (…) How not to appreciate this team? I'm not talking about a club, but a team. There, it is football that I like deeply. We find the values that make me like this sport. We are not talking about individuals, individual statistics, record by player etc. This football tires me. Those who want to be interested in this just have to look at individual sports such as athletics. But there, this PSG reminds us that football is above all the collective. It's a beautiful word. Winning alone is not interesting. Winning together is more beautiful and that's what this PSG realizes. Frankly, it is impossible, when you really like this sport, not to admire Paris. How not to love Parisians?»»
