The ultras of Paris SG expressed their dissatisfaction in the stands of the Parc des Princes this Friday evening against Rennes (1-0, 24th day of the League), through acid banners, a strike of encouragement in the first period and whistles at the break. Mauricio Pochettino reacted.
Paris SG is playing one of the most important matches of the season this Tuesday against Real Madrid (8th final first leg of the Champions League). Behind the scenes, the time is far from being at the party between the club and its supporters. Earlier in the week, the CUP issued an inflammatory statement, inviting a reaction. This Friday, for the reception of Stade Rennais (1-0, 24th day of Ligue 1), the Parisian ultras persisted and signed, going on a strike of encouragement in the first period and copiously whistling their players at half-time.
They did not stop there, deploying many hostile banners in their stands, aimed in particular at sporting director Leonardo and the players. Asked at a press conference at the end of the meeting, Mauricio Pochettino first explained that he had not spoken about this subject with his troops during the break in the locker room. “At half-time, it’s very short. We correct situations tactically with images. We talk with the staff. We didn’t talk about what happened in the stands.”he detailed.
The sacred union requested
Relaunched on this theme, the Argentinian then sent a strong message. “I want to send a message of unity, very strong. This bond between the public is always the most important in a club. And the public obviously has the right to express itself. But we need unity right now, in this important period of the season, we need to be all together, to fight together for our goals.dropped the Argentine technician before continuing.
“We will meet together at the end of the season to take stock and decide what to do so that our club continues to be or becomes the best in the world”, he concluded. An attempt at appeasement on the part of the Parisian coach in a context that is explosive to say the least. It now remains to be seen if he will be heard and if the Parc des Princes will sing as one man this Tuesday evening for the reception of the Merengues of Karim Benzema and Carlo Ancelotti.
