The weather forecasts had seen right: it is a deluge that fell on Marseille on Sunday evening. Consequence of thunderstorms that took off the Provencal sky all evening. As decided by the prefect from the beginning of the afternoon, the postponement of the shock between Olympique de Marseille and Paris SG won and its Var counterpart would have been well inspired to imitate it concerning the Top 14 poster between Toulon and La Rochelle, finally postponed to the very last moment.
If no voice was raised against the postponement of the classic, a controversy quickly raged concerning the chosen moment to play the ultimate shock of the Ligue 1.. As planned by the League, the meeting between OM and PSG will finally be played this Monday evening at 8 p.m., only an hour before the kick -off of the Golden Ball ceremony, during which many Parisians should be honored, at the forefront of which succeed Rodri.
To this end, Parisian leaders campaigned to be held in the afternoon, at 3 p.m., which would have allowed all Parisian players to be present at the Chatelet Theater in the evening. In vain. And for Daniel Riolo, the leaders of the capital's club were not inspired to want to play such a schedule.
“OM-PSG in the afternoon?” A total lack of respect “
“How far can PSG go?” Playing at 3 p.m. is a shame to have offered this. It is a total lack of respect, that means that you completely don't care about the value of this match, that you don't care to know if the team supporters who welcome you will be able to come or will have to pose a day off because it is not a suitable schedule … “, he made at the RMC microphone.
“To do this proposal is really to say: 'We have nothing to do with this match, the only thing that matters to us is the Golden Ball ceremony. This is the message sent by Paris with these proposals ”, he continued, adding: “In any case, I think that OM would never have accepted due to respect for the poster and respect for the supporters, but if only to have tried to pass that, I find that it is a shameful proposal and a total lack of respect. Yes the golden ball ceremony falls badly, that's how it, but that will not prevent you from seeing Dembélé, because there is a good chance that it is him, win the trophy, and they will be able to party anyway. “
