There were the microphones, now there are the in camera.

Failing to excite us unduly, the context around this post-Covid football now allows the viewer not to miss anything that is said on the lawns every weekend.

And on Saturday, there was plenty to do during the top match between Paris FC, leader of Ligue 2 after nine days, and Stade Malherbe de Caen.

If the Parisians won 3-1 on the field, it is especially outside that the show took place.

Indeed, the two coaches René Girard and Pascal Dupraz began to shout at each other during the meeting, before ending the fight by interposed press conferences.

Dupraz first accused his counterpart of having called him "shit" during the meeting while he was trying, according to his words, to calm his assistant on the sidelines.

“Bravo René Girard”, he continued before treating him in turn as a “trumpet”.

“René Girard who insulted me with impunity.

You can't call your alter ego shit.

There are attitudes to observe, it's heartbreaking, Dupraz then complained in the post-match conf.

Yeah, he called me shit while I calmed my deputy.

He is champion of France [with Montpellier in 2012] so we let it go.

Failing to be a good person, we will say that he is a good coach.

"

René Girard: "I'm not going to waste my time talking about Mr. Dupraz, I don't want to gossip ... Let him take care of him before talking about others. For me he doesn't represent much in football, and he knows it. "

“I called him shit, he said that ?, pretended to be surprised by the Parisian coach.

I'm not going to go into that, I'm not a reporter because he's not Simon Templar [a novel character nicknamed “The Saint”], he's not a saint.

I am not into gossip.

Before talking about others, you have to look at yourself.

I'm not a rapporteur so I won't tell you what he said.

He doesn't mean much to me in football, and he knows it.

»It's limited but it plays.
