Chronicle Zidane at PSG, a good idea?

This is what many expert journalists in Europe, including Daniel Riolo, along with our colleagues at RMC, are announcing.

The rumor, which has yet to be confirmed, has had a bombastic effect on the world of soccer and on social networks.

The idea of ​​seeing the world champion at the helm of a French club would be an event, I would even say an event in the state.

Zidane started his conversion very well, winning at least three consecutive Champions Leagues with Real Madrid (2016, 2017 and 2018).

An act that does not leave indifferent the Emir of Qatar, Tamim ben Hamad Al-Thani, who dreams of seeing Zidane at the helm of his club. But this rapprochement will not only make people happy.

First, the Parisian club are undervalued on the Spanish side after Kylian Mbappé was prevented from joining their ranks this summer. But it is especially on the side of Olympique de Marseille supporters that the reluctance is more felt.

In fact, in the name of the historic rivalry that has plagued the two clubs for decades, Marseille supporters have been hurt by this news by begging the Ballon d’Or not to associate with the enemy club.

Having lived in Marseille for two years, I can tell you that this signing will touch the hearts of many Marseille residents who see Zidane as a symbol of the city of Marseille.

His signature is even synonymous with infidelity for the worst, which is hard to imagine. the son of the country go to the Stade Vélodrome wearing the coat of arms they’d hate.

And yet … In my eyes, there is no reason to blame Zidane for signing a contract with PSG.

He has never worn OM colors as a player. Moreover, he has presented himself as a young coach who wants to pursue his career at the highest level. And the places are very rare.

I understand the spirit of rivalry that fans can have. I think it’s important to fully experience the frenzy that this sport has to offer us.

That said, Zidane is a French icon. He represents victory, the winning France.

All lovers of this sport in France and around the world recognize themselves in his talent and in the magic he offered us with the ball at his feet.

All the French still remember the President Zidane written in the Arc de Triomphe when France became world champions in 1998.

The President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, also spoke on this subject, at wishing, for the influence of France, that he would return, and that he would come to train a large French club. That would be wonderful.

The arrivals of Neymar and Messi, in addition to the extension of Kylian Mbappé’s contract a few days ago, reveal to me that the Parisian club is capable of committing the biggest madness today, which we thought was impossible yesterday.
