The calls follow one another so that the match between Paris and Marseille this Sunday is only synonymous with a beautiful evening of football.
The day after a similar message from OM President Pablo Longoria, Dimitri Payet called on Marseille supporters on Saturday to “set an example”.
"Tomorrow night, it's a Clasico, we know what it means for the club, for the city, for us, the Marseillais, the players," said the OM striker in a video posted on the networks social.
"But above all, it must remain a party, it must remain the party of football."
“Marseille supporters, we need you: the encouragement, your presence, the tifos, everything will come together, but we also need an example”.
No matter "the score, we need examples"
"No matter what happens on the pitch, no matter what may happen, the score, we need examples," added Dimitri Payet. "We need you here, don't forget that we are on borrowed time, we risk losing a point and all the points are important, these are points that we will miss at the end of the season", he concluded. Since incidents in the stands during the Angers-Marseille match on September 22, OM is indeed under the threat of a withdrawal of one point in the standings in the event of a repeat offense.
Already Friday, the president of OM had appealed for calm, calling for the meeting to remain "a great moment of football" and deploring that the start of the season in L1 was marked "by incidents which tarnish the image of football everywhere in France ”.
Sunday, the arrival in Marseille of the Paris SG of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappé will be the first very big summit of Ligue 1 with more than 65,000 spectators expected according to the club.
