Does Ligue 1 need the OM – PSG rivalry?

“It’s essential! When I talk about football, I always talk about two things. I talk about emotion. The first thing is emotion. Emotion is the match, it’s what’s going to happen during the match, it’s the scenario of the match, it’s how you experience your match. It’s what emotions the match will give you. And the second thing is the stories. It’s essential! All these stories are essential. We’ll talk again in the next 4-5 years about Rabiot’s arrival in Marseille. We created the Olympico, which has nothing to do with it, between Lyon and Marseille. We created the Atlantic derby in Bordeaux between Bordeaux and Nantes. It was nonsense. It’s football. Football feeds on all these little stories, the broadcasters, the supporters. Then there are the real derbies which are for regional supremacy, for the area, and that pleases everyone. People like to identify with that. I think it’s really essential to our championship, it’s crucial.”
