the nice words of Antoine Arnault for PSG

Will we soon have the right to huge competition in Paris between PSG and PFC? In any case, it is the dream of the Arnault family, who decided to invest in the Ligue 2 resident. In an interview given to RMC Sport, Antoine Arnault did not fail to praise the current leader of Ligue 1: “Let me be clear: I have been a PSG supporter since I was 12 years old. I was a subscriber for many years, today I am very kindly invited by Nasser whom I know well and who is a friend and I have enormous admiration and respect for what he has built with his shareholder . PSG is a great club that I admire, and I will not have the immodesty to compare myself or to try to create a kind of artificial rivalry between our club today and the future club that will be Paris FC and the current PSG” he said.

Antoine Arnault has been a PSG supporter since he was 12!

He then continued: “On the other hand, I think there is room for two clubs in Paris, I think there is room to build two different, perhaps complementary, stories. What we want is to continue in the popular tradition of Paris FC, to continue to do things well. And it's not because we do certain things that they are necessarily in opposition to PSG. Besides, I will always be a supporter of PSG while being a shareholder of Paris FC. Except, I hope, when we are in Ligue 1 twice a year or there, I will be more for Paris FC” he said, smiling.

But first of all, we will have to move up to L1, which is obviously the priority objective: “It is desirable and it is imperative in the long term. Yes, if it's not this year, it will be next year and so on. Once we move up to Ligue 1, it's the same, the first objective will be to stay there. We saw way too many teams going up and doing the lift. And then, little by little, we will try to build a team which will be in the first half of the table and then which will try to grab the European places. You will never see me announce that we want to win the Champions League in five years because I think that is not our vocation at all. What we want is to have a great team, to have an audience that leaves the stadium happy to have seen a team that gave everything on the pitch with great values, a great playing philosophy. Afterwards, they can lose matches, it can happen, they can miss the climb, it can happen too… From the moment they give everything and this philosophy is applied, we will be a satisfied shareholder.” he said before concluding on the possibility of playing in the future at the Parc des Princes: “No, today we are in Charléty. We are perhaps considering being either in an improved Charléty or in Jean-Bouin. We are a Ligue 2 club that aspires to move up to Ligue 1. The Parc des Princes and its 50,000 seats are not at all relevant..”
