Regards turned on the stands, this weekend in L1! The 5th day will be that of the supporters: those of PSG can not remain marble in front of the return of Neymar, the others will be particularly scrutinized by the authorities after about fifteen debates on homophobia in the stadiums.

They had launched the season of their club by vindictive "Neymar break," August 11 against Nimes. The ultra Parisians no longer wanted to hear about their Brazilian striker, they are now before the fait accompli: the N.10 is in the Parisian group to face Strasbourg Saturday (17:30).

How will the forums of the Parc des Princes react, in case of tenure or entry into play of the star to 222 million euros, who had not hidden his desire to leave the capital after two mixed seasons?

The cacophony promises to be at its height, between the "hardest" fringes, for which the former crack of Barcelona has nothing to do here, and those, less reassembled, who would be ready to forgive the Ney his summer disillusionment if he re-illuminates the park with his immense talent.

It is still necessary that Neymar, more appeared since May 11, plays. "I am sure he will give everything to help us reach our goal, and the first goal is to win against Strasbourg, which is the challenge for Ney (Saturday)," said coach Thomas Tuchel. claiming that his player, who played in the night of Tuesday to Wednesday in selection in the United States, "was accustomed" to this kind of trip.

Alignment is a conceivable hypothesis, a few days before the entry into the play in the PSG Champions League, Wednesday for a shock against Real Madrid - that Neymar will miss for a suspension.

- Streamers and songs with a fine comb -

We almost forget that it may be the opportunity for Paris, deprived of Kylian Mbappé and Edinson Cavani on injury, to launch in the bath his two recruits of the last hours of the transfer window, the goalkeeper Keylor Navas and the striker Mauro Icardi; and to widen the gap at the top of the ranking, he dominates with nine points, as Rennes, Nice, Angers and now Lille, winner 2-1 Angevin Friday night. But not Lyon, who missed the boat in Amiens (2-2) and has only eight.

On the other fields, the ranking will be of little importance compared to the tension currently driving the stands at all stages.

The fight against homophobic demonstrations in the stands, at the heart of the political debate in recent days, she will still invite on the lawn? Will meetings be interrupted by referees in the event of offensive songs or banners, as has been the case several times since the beginning of the season?

"For us, this is an often extreme solution," insisted the president of the Professional Football League (LFP) Nathalie Boy de la Tour on Wednesday. The LFP has also stated that it has established a "framework" to differentiate between "discriminatory remarks" and "insulting remarks" that may come from the forum.

Only in the first of these two cases, the delegates of the LFP will be able to alert the referee, to whom it will be up to decide to interrupt or not the meetings.

- Monaco-OM, moody moods -

The body of referees, whose Technical Direction (DTA) depends on the French Football Federation (FFF), may also have had specific instructions from the latter, the President of the Federation Noël Le Graet said this week that he would ask the referees not to stop the matches.

It is only Sunday evening (21h00), at the Stade Louis-II, that the major sporting issues will resume their rights. Monaco, looking for its first win of the season, is on the edge of the precipice (19th, 2 points) when welcoming Marseille (8th, 7 points) for the shock of the end of the day. Leonardo Jardim hopes to get out of this sluggishness, why not against the OM, which comes to him to feel the same sensation.

André Villas-Boas' men remain on two successive successes, during which their new Argentinian scorer Dario Benedetto scored, but the announcement of the operation of an ankle of their offensive leader Florian Thauvin, probably absent until at the end of the year, has indeed put lead in the ambitions of the Phoenician supporters.
