In five days will take place the long-awaited final of the Champions League, taking Paris Saint-Germain in Inter Milan. Several former players stamped “Marseillais” were invited to give their opinion on this meeting.
“What do you think of the upcoming Champions League final?” »»asked a Canal+ journalist to Zinédine Zidane on the sidelines of the Monaco Grand Prix. “Of course, we're going to watch (the match). Even I who am Marseille, anyway, the French team will have to win ” replied the former Real Madrid coach on Sunday.
A little earlier in the week, Didier Deschamps had much less appreciated the question on this subject. “Are you serious there ?, Had he apostrophe the journalist who dared to think that he could bear the Italian club. You are not serious to ask me the question like that. The question, you have to ask it to someone on the old port, like that you are sure of the answer. I am a coach. There is a French team. I have a Marseille past, but it seems so obvious to me, you shouldn't even ask me this question. »»
Zidane, Deschamps, Boli, the three are ultimately credible
Basile Boli also assures that it will support the capital's club. “I'm going to watch the final like everyone else. My heart remains blue and white but I am behind Paris Saint-Germain. Representing France is something important for me ”said OM's scorer in the 1993 final in Munich in the program “Mission Info” Franceinfo.
Are they sincere by making this type of declaration? Zinedine Zidane wore the colors of Juventus Turin, a club of which Inter Milan is one of the historic rivals. Regarding Didier Deschamps, as a national coach, he has every interest in the PSG to prevail. There remains the case of Boli Basil, a man sometimes a little facetious. Except that the former defender was a supporter of the red and blue during his youth. He frequented the spans of the Parc des Princes and had participated in the invasion of the field by the ultras of the Kop de Boulogne in 1982, after the final of the Coupe de France won against Saint-Etienne.
