The Champions League semi-final first leg between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich last Tuesday thrilled all football fans. Even the supporters of Olympique de Marseille reveled in this “fireworks”.
Starting with Habib Beye. The coach of the Marseille club could not remain indifferent to the spectacle offered at the Parc des Princes.
“There are no words, it’s rave, compared to the quality of the two teams, of the show. But football is not just that. It is also a reflection of what we saw yesterday (Wednesday) between two other teams (Atletico and Arsenal). Maybe the return match will be different. We call them irrational matches where nothing is controlled anymore”explained the 48-year-old technician, on the sidelines of OM’s trip to Nantes.
While his team currently finds itself in a particularly delicate situation, Habib Beye was able to take a “breath of fresh air” by talking about this historic match. A way to take back your sports consultant hat.

“What I especially like is when we talk about balance, systems, patterns, he continued.
Sometimes, in relation to the match scenario, all these patterns explode. We bring football back to what it really is: a team sport arbitrated by the individual quality of certain players who can change the course of a match. Everyone had a lot of fun watching this match. Afterwards, there are supporters’ logics, and I’m not going to get into that. But it was a great evening of football. »
As a reminder, Habib Beye was trained at PSG. He played with the reserve of the capital club between 1997 and 1998, without ever managing to establish himself in the first team.
