The Parc des Princes retains its breath, Milan hopes for a new feat. On May 31, Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan will cross iron in the Champions League final, a European summit that the entire football planet awaits. But as this titanic shock approaches, a well -known voice of supporters from both camps has just thrown a pavement in the pond. A former midfielder, having wore the Parisian colors and Nerazzurri during his career, revealed without detour for which team his heart will lean during this dream poster. And its declaration, as frank as it may be, risks causing some teeth grinks, especially on the side of the French capital.
The man behind this clear position is none other than Stéphane Dalmat. In an interview with the daily Le Parisien, the former French international (passed by PSG from July 2000 to January 2001, and the Inter from January 2001 to 2003) did not revolve around the pot. “I'm going to do everything to be there,” he announces first concerning the final in Munich, before asserting : “I will support Inter. »» Aware of the impact of his words, he adds with Aplomb: “I will surely make enemies by saying this, but I assume this position!” »He justifies this choice by a more striking imprint in Italy: “I only played six months at PSG and my record was not exceptional. I went in stride at Inter, and even if I did not win any titles, I left a more important trace there than in Paris. »»
Stéphane Dalmat, the man who assumes
This displayed preference has something to surprise, even shock, more than one observer in France. That a former French PSG player does not choose the capital's club for a Champions League final is rare enough to be underlined. We hope that other alumni who have shared the two jerseys, such as the illustrious Youri Djorkaeff or Benoît Cauet, will not follow the same path and will keep a more tricolor and Parisian fiber! Dalmat's franchise, although potentially disappointing for PSG fans, has the merit of clarity.
Stupor before PSG-Inter: An ex-Parisian chooses the enemy for the final!
Despite his Milanese heart, Stéphane Dalmat does not lack lucidity on the forces involved. If he gives a “Slight advantage to Italians”, He recognizes the intrinsic quality of the Parisian team. “Paris plays very well. I see a safe team of its forces, in particular thanks to the contribution of Donnarumma which broadcasts something serene, ” he analyzes. He even believes that theE “PSG is armed to beat any club in Europe. »PFor him, Paris comes backt “by far but they totally deserve to end up at this level. »» A recognition of the Parisian qualities which, we hope, will reduce the
” treason “ felt by some.
The release of Stéphane Dalmat undoubtedly adds chili to the preparation of this Champions League final. His analysis, tinged with an assumed preference, offers different and passionate lighting. If his heart leans for Inter, he also underlines the collective power of Nerazzurri (“It is thanks to this strength that inter is there”) and the experience of his players. It remains to be seen if his prognosis and the beats of his heart will be in line with the field verdict on May 31. One thing is certain, his statements will not leave anyone indifferent.
