Zapping Foot National Interview – The underside of amateur football, with Romain Molina
Last weekend's attraction. This Saturday, Jürgen Klopp attended Paris FC's victory over Amiens (1-0), on the occasion of the 18th day of Ligue 2. In the process, the global director of football at Red Bull visited the facilities of the current second in the antechamber of the French elite. “The last time I saw a match from this far away was on TV. In such a stadium, it's difficult to create an atmosphere” he, at first, tackled in the columns of our colleagues at RMC Sport before continuing and attacking the dilapidation of the club's training center recently purchased by the Arnault family and the Red Bull Group.
“I also visited the training center which reminded me of that of my first club, twenty years ago. But as with all the other clubs, in Germany, in Austria, in Brazil, in the United States or in Japan, it will take time to take them to the next level,” continued the former Liverpool coach until last summer, who also put Borussia Dortmund back on the map between 2008 and 2015.
-Good sides all the same
Despite everything, everything is not to be thrown away on the side of Paris FC. Indeed, the German then cited the good points of the club currently in the race to be directly promoted to Ligue 1, while the third will compete in an accession play-off. “The team in place in Paris is doing a very good job,” continues Jürgen Klopp, who also made it known that he would not lead any Red Bull Group training during his tenure. “League 2, in all countries, is a very difficult division. All the teams are more or less equal and the climbs are decided on few things.” The year of the rise, finally, for the PFC?
