PSG – OM: The silence of the ultras during the Classico? More than a sulk, a consummate divorce – 20 Minutes

If there was one who could save the atmosphere of the Classico at the Park, Sunday evening, it was Kylian Mbappé. But even he failed, proof that the cause was lost in advance. Despite his call from the foot launched at the microphone of Canal after the rouste clermontoise – “We would like the supporters to be with us. We understand their disappointment. If they are with us, it will be wonderful, if not, we will still do our job” – the boss of the 15th century was not heard. Indeed, if the Collectif Ultra Paris did not not officially communicated before PSG-OM, we can already confirm the information of the Parisian: Auteuil will remain silent, faithful to his line of conduct since the elimination against Real and the fiasco in Monaco. Nothing surprising. The tarp turned over in the Clermont parking lot, the chants “And we don’t give a damn!” after Neymar’s peno, and the desertion of the CUP even before the final whistle were all clues proving that reconciliation is not for now. The club hoped that the arrival of OM would be enough to create a sort of sacred union, a parenthesis in the dispute, it will not be, proof that the malaise is deeper and that the fracture goes far beyond the small quarrel. of torque. Contacted by 20 Minutes, PSG prefers for its part “to do like the supporters: we do not comment”. Princes), the pill is still stuck in the trachea. “Since this March 9 and this umpteenth shame felt, it does not pass! These suspicious gestures of our usually irreproachable captain do not pass. These faces of victims masking those of hoped-for warriors do not pass. These so-called football stars and geniuses who walk with our jersey on their back, without the slightest revolt in the face of difficulty, it does not pass. “For the past few days, the attitude of the ultras and the silence announced against OM have given rise to criticism on social networks. Like what it would be a shame not to animate the stadium when we receive the enemy Porte d’Auteuil. A point of view that the former Parisian goalkeeper Jérôme Alonzo absolutely does not share. However, from the broncas to make your calves tremble, he has known some of the Jérôme. “The defeat in Madrid, in absolute terms, it annoys me, but it’s still football and it can happen. On the other hand, what happens in Monaco just after is not normal, judges the consultant Prime Video. From there, the victories against Lorient and Clermont cannot allow for forgiveness, you have to understand that. I hear people say “yeah but they went 5-1 and 6-1, the fans suck”. But no, you have to show more intelligence, more reflection. Their anger will not go away because you hit Clermont 6-1, you have to stop dreaming, it doesn’t work like that. For the amnesiacs who think we have to forget everything because our enemy is coming home.
We will not let go of our fight, which is to put our PSG back on the right track.
No matter the time & the place our dissatisfaction will be present as long as the situation does not change pic.twitter.com/1j1Lerd6LV— Petrolinho (@subculturultras) April 15, 2022

“What you have to understand is that we have had no feedback from the club since the press release, we are told in the CUP entourage. While the press release was clear, a little spicy of course, but detailed. When there is a strike and demands, normally we negotiate and we try to come out on top. There, as the club plays dead, it would be ridiculous to start singing when nothing has changed. “An unforgivable silence for the supportersIn truth, the break between the ultras and the players is not so much the elimination against Real as the general apathy and lack of communication that followed. Aymeric: “Have they had a second awareness of our pain, of the dark hours that we have suffered since, our frustrations and the shame that does not let go of us? No awareness, no mea culpa, no communication, no respect, nothing! And it would also be necessary to play the “sacred union” and to act as if nothing had happened…”. “The guys did not ask for much, continues a close friend of the ultras. A little “sorry for those who made the trip, we screwed up”. A little regret, something a little sincere, a minimum of consideration. But hey, if it doesn’t come to them, it doesn’t come to them… I have the impression that they don’t understand that there is the globalized public, that of the likes on Instagram, and a closer, more true, more attached and therefore also more demanding. If Jérôme Alonzo perfectly understands the anger of the supporters, it is because in his time too he found himself in this kind of situation. If many banners did not pass the search against Bordeaux, some nevertheless could be deployed. – Alain JOCARD / AFP But they managed it in a completely different way: “We were passed on more stuff, on the one hand because we were less good – we lost against Guingamp, they yelled but they said ‘well they The poor aren’t very good, we’re not going to throw stones at them either” – and on the other hand because we were trying to understand the protest, we were trying to talk to them after the matches”. “There, few voices were raised after Madrid and Monaco to say” we are sorry “, he continues. Apart from Kylian, as always. The others left for selection and we never heard from them again. Even the leaders are still not expressed! “It is true that apart from a few media outlets on the late Superleague or on the abyssal debts of Barça, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi is very discreet. As for Leonardo, if anyone has heard from him, don’t hesitate to write to us. “At the time our presidents did not hide and came to rot us when things were not going well. It’s all very well to go see the referees after the matches, but after Monaco did you go to see your players to tell them that they are under everything? Alonzo gets annoyed. I do not believe. This radio silence is crazy… I believe that PSG supporters can understand everything as long as we at least agree to tell them a little about what is going on. “The rejection of a project, the absence of a presidentAs our former member of the CUP points out, referring to what happened in the stands during the reception of Bordeaux at the Parc, “the only consideration and communication of the club towards us, it was to send us the CRS and the gorillas in order to block our tarpaulins, our banners and our words of revolt and regret. “For a long time idyllic, the relationship between the CUP and NAK – which did a lot of work at the time to bring back the ultras in turns, it must be said – also seems to be faltering. Alonzo details: “Why do they want Al-Khelaïfi? Simply because he is no longer there. With its 12,000 different caps, there is a real physical distance which creates a problem. People need a leader who takes the bullets, a leader to talk to. But that leader no longer exists today. This feeling of abandonment makes them sick. “That’s exactly what the press release from the ultras said after Madrid. It’s time … RESIGNATION MANAGEMENT !!!@PSG_inside pic.twitter.com/y9ELoVKHaV— Collectif Ultras Paris (@Co_Ultras_Paris) March 12, 2022

Finally, last but not least, the failure of this 2021-2022 season despite a recruitment of gold and silver has given rise to a real rejection of the Qatari project. “PSG is no longer a football club, they have made it a brand: the PSG brand as they say. But we don’t want any more bling and a team that looks more like the Just Price showcase than eleven guys ready to do anything to honor their club, their supporters, “says Aymeric. We can see it. , redemption will not simply come through a victory against OM on Sunday, even if “it can be a stone on the road to the peace of the brave”, according to Alonzo. Above all, it will go through a global overhaul of the Parisian project this summer, if it wants to happen.
