We found someone who didn’t like the spectacle put on by Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich (5-4). This is Frédéric Hermel, the Spanish football specialist on RMC. In his column for the daily AS, he denounced a match which would be
“the symbol of the TikTok era”.
On the air on RMC this afternoon, Hermel was able to develop his remarks, explaining that he did not like this type of meeting, bluntly described as “bad match”. “I wrote that it is a symbol of the TikTok era, that is to say that you need emotions, stimuli, immediately, fast and repeated. So there are 9 goals. For me, football is also the construction of the game, the tactics. Who can say that there was a coach yesterday, both for PSG and Bayern? There were zero tactics yesterday”he laments.
Hermel assures that his opinion would have been the same if this meeting had concerned one or two Spanish clubs, his favorite championship. However, some Internet users have compiled certain tweets where he is ecstatic about a 4-3 or a 5-4 in La Liga.
Hermel relies on a fake by Thierry Henry
More annoying, Fred Hermel justifies his position by indicating that Thierry Henry said the same thing as him. “Hermel and Henry, two great men of football”he dared, with a touch of self-deprecation.
The big problem is that Henry didn’t say that at all. On CBS Sport, the 1998 world champion admitted that he had a great time.
“We’ve been complaining for a year or two that football is boring and this match wasn’t! If we leave the professional side at home, I had fun, and I think everyone else had fun at home too. It was just crazy”he confided.
Fred Hermel undoubtedly came across this tirade attributed to Thierry Henry, which is a fake. This Wednesday afternoon, the tweet below had been seen by more than 1.7 million people. We also see the notion of “Football TikTok”, subsequently taken up by Hermel.
