Between OM and PSG, Omar Sy has decided. And this has been happening for a long time. While this rivalry has animated Ligue 1 since the beginning of the 1990s, the actor has never hidden his support for Ciel et Blanc. Guest on the show The Bridgeco-hosted by Aurélien Tchouameni and broadcast on YouTube, the actor explains why he always preferred Marseille to Paris.
“It’s the Champions League!” It’s Basile Boli, it’s (Jean-Pierre) Papin, it’s Chris Waddle. That’s all that, that’s the story. And then you look at OM and what it was like as a club,” he blurted out, affirming that his choice to support OM had also probably been guided by the scourge of racism which was plaguing the Boulogne stand at the Parc des Princes at that time.
“The Park is boring”
“At the time when we go to see the matches at the Park, you only have skinheadsremembers the hero of the series
Lupinerevealed thanks to the duo he formed with Fred Testot on Canal+. The Boulogne Boys were skinheads, they were very, very strong at the time. We are young, we are teenagers and when you go to the Park, you have to go as a team. Otherwise you can’t go. The Park is boring. »
If he followed the career of his friend Nicolas Anelka, like him from Trappes and formerly with PSG, Omar Sy has always recognized himself in OM, “the most Senegalese French club”, which had Pape Diouf as president.
So obviously I have a special attachment. There’s nothing we can do about it, it’s a loop. Marseille is also the thing of an era. They still made us love it. »
