Jérôme Rothen is what we call a child of Paris Saint-Germain. Nursed at the Parc des Princes, Jérôme Rothen spent several seasons with the capital club.
For better or for worse, at a time when the Rouge et Bleu were having difficulty remaining in Ligue 1. Converted into a sports consultant, the former attacking midfielder was particularly complimentary towards Nasser al-Khelaifi.
“He gave himself the means to create a crazy team to try to win the most beautiful competition. It took time, there were a lot of criticisms. I think he was also stupid by stacking the stars, forgetting that football was above all a team sport and that you had to create a special atmosphere in the locker room to be able to win.he confided during an interview given to
The Team.
Rothen not neutral enough with Nasser al-Khelaïfi?
Jérôme Rothen does not deny the fact that he can sometimes act as a media relay for the president of the Rouge et Bleu. “Yes maybe. But to be a relay, you would already have to see him oftenhe nuances. Which is not my case. I have a lot of affection for him. I think it’s mutual. I have a lot of respect for what he brought to PSG and he knows it, I’ve already told him. “
The host of the show “Rothen s’igne” on RMC is indeed often accused by some football followers of being a media relay or an unofficial “spokesperson” for Nasser al-Khelaïfi. Particularly those who are hostile to the capital club.
