What a week for Parisian football! While PSG qualified for the second final of the Champions League in its history, and dreams of European consecration, Paris FC celebrated its accession to Ligue 1 on Saturday.

There will be two Parisian clubs in the elite next season, which delights Bixente Lizarazu. The consultant of Telefoot
Has the merits of the Paris FC project? which gives the impression of not wanting to burn the steps in its development. This decides with the management of another club, dear to the 1998 world champion.

Bixente Lizarazu, under the colors of the Girondins de Bordeaux.

“There is the Red Bull expertise, the big financial means of the Arnault family and their seriousness in business. It's not like in Bordeaux for example, entrusted Bixente Lizarazu on set this Sunday. With all this, and with a little patience to build a club, I think they can create this second club in Paris and have a certain excitement in Paris and in the French championship. »»

Bordeaux, a situation that saddens Lizarazu

Like other former glories of the club, such as his friend Christophe Dugarry, Bixente Lizarazu rarely lacks the opportunity to denounce the catastrophic management of Gérard Lopez (and previous owners) to the Girondins de Bordeaux. In immense financial difficulty, the Aquitaine club sank to National 2, the fourth French division. A real disaster.

“I am disgusted like all those who love this club. But what is happening is unfortunately the consequence of a disastrous sports and financial management for many years ”had railed the old left side last July.

Despite this camouflet, Gérard Lopez regularly displayed the ambition to go up the steps fairly quickly. It will not be for this season. Despite their victory against Granville (3-2) on Saturday, Bruno Irlès' men, fourth in the ranking, can no longer access the National.
