"On the sporting side, there is no more competition"
The "Classic" "is at the height of the interest of the championship, said Christophe Bouchet, the former president of OM between 2002 and 2004." When you know the winner of a race before it starts .. Frankly, sport is not that. It is the uncertainty of the result that interests everyone. That's what makes us vibrate. On the sporting side there is more competition, even if the game brings always brings a little adrenaline, "he says.
Dominique Grimault opine: "To schematize, there is a club of state against nineteen cities, represented by nineteen clubs with two objectives: the maintenance and qualification in European Cup. The championship of France is unique. "
An opinion that does not share Charles Villeneuve, who has lived some PSG-OM as president of the club of the capital. "PSG's budget has dug an abyssal hole with that of Olympique Marseille," he said, before recalling "the" domination of the Marseillais in the 90s before Paris will catch up thereafter ". "Marseille must become Marseille again. It lacks emblematic characters ", as at the time of OM version Tapie, claims Charles Villeneuve.
"It is not disappointing to have matches without injuries among the public"
Our "legends" are not nostalgic, however, of the violence that may have existed during these "classics" of the past. "It is not disappointing to have matches without injuries among the public," said Guy Roux. "It's still a very important asset (...) It needed huge police forces.When the Marseille supporters came, it was necessary to put a street completely open to pass them.It is almost a state of war. "
However, the former AJA coach does not hide his bitterness in the absence of visiting fans in these meetings, banned from travel for several games. "I would have liked not to see these problems with the Marseille supporters present, but for now, we have not solved this problem, the public authorities and the prefects have chosen the easy way."
"If the Marseille fans were there, it would not necessarily turn to drama," replied Charles Villeneuve. "It's true that before that it was dramatic but now it's turning into the boulevard piece."
