“ Longoria too easily puts aside this rivalry between PSG and OMestimates the former Parisian. I remain convinced that the French championship needs this rivalry. It’s like that, it’s written in the walls, these are two clubs who hate each other, supporters who hate each other, players and coaches who must hate each other, that’s the charm of our championship and we sell a game of his image with this opposition. This rivalry must continue, without hatred. But when you have decided to go to one or the other, it must be difficult to turn back, it must be a principle including for leaders and presidents. »
Galtier, an eel?
Jérôme Rothen emphasizes his incomprehension regarding this alleged choice of Pablo Longoria. “ I am surprised. I think he’s doing a good job with OM, but here I think he’s got it all wrong. He is Spanish, he sees the Barça-Real rivalry, how can a Real coach find himself in Catalonia two months later? It is not possible. In France, we must not accept this. I put the qualities of Christophe Galtier aside, he remains a very good coach, but the fact remains that he chose PSG. Now, he will explain to us that he is the man for the job and that he will allow OM to be at the top? I don’t want him to fall into the image of some coaches who are eels. »
