Last night was the most anticipated match for all football fans in France. OM – PSG remains the biggest shock in our Ligue 1 whatever one might say. These are the two most successful and popular teams in France which face off against a backdrop of rivalry between the capital and the province. For its first Classic, DAZN had therefore planned to deploy major resources and Paul de Saint Sernin paid the price.
The English media specializing in the broadcasting of sporting events is now the official broadcaster of Ligue 1 since this summer. The channel was chosen by the LFP after a very long process. The leaders therefore wanted recruit personalities from diverse backgrounds in order to offer viewers a real experience during football matches.
Paul de Saint Sernin on DAZN
In addition to the commentators and former players placed as consultants, DAZN chose to install Paul de Saint Sernin in the role of free electron. Located at the edge of the field, his mission is to intervene erratically. He is there in a sniper role that he particularly likes. Passionate about sport and football, he is a great connoisseur of the world of football. He also returned during an interview with RMC on his role during big matches.
“We will have a ball at our feet. And the goal is to move, to catch the players, to juggle with them three times or to ask them two questions at random. Some will come to check on Patrick Vieira since they know him. I could separate myself from Smaïl to act like an idiot and throw a clapping. (…) We want to do something quite free. I will be in the shoes of a fan who had access to the pitch. DAZN is the channel for fans. There are no stars. “.
The altercation on the sidelines of the OM – PSG match
Despite all these good intentions, the reality is sometimes much more brutal. This is the experience that Léa Salamé's former accomplice during the Paris Olympic Games was able to have last night at the Stade Vélodrome. While the most anticipated match of the championship was about to take place. Olympian supporters decided to attack Paul de Saint Sernin head-on. We can see the host approaching them and being roundly insulted. He will also receive middle fingers from the Marseille public.
Paul de Saint Sernin, a big football fan, was not surprised by these attitudes which were bordering on tolerable. Not in any way invective, he preferred to smile rather than respond to the insults and threats received. The final score of the match was probably a sweet revenge for him, with a very severe setback for the Olympian players. A 3-0 defeat which pushed many supporters to leave the stadium at half-time. Paul de Saint Sernin, for his part, went until the end of the retransmission. The story does not say whether he attempted to throw a clapping.
