A big Parisian supporter, and in particular of players trained at the club, the president of the PSG Titis took the signing of Adrien Rabiot to Olympique de Marseille very badly.

“I still don’t realize it.” For some, it’s just football. For him, it’s a bit more than that. Anthony Vivien, founder and president of the association Les Titis du PSG, took it very badly when Adrien Rabiot, a kid who trained in his favorite club, decided to join Olympique de Marseille, the big rival.

“It’s a betrayal, he confided on Thursday to the microphone of France Bleu Paris, with tears in his eyes. I understand that being a footballer is a job, it’s a profession, that you have to put food in your bowl. There was the Fiorèse episode, Déhu, I was in the stadium, and I had no qualms about expressing my discontent.”

Rabiot to OM, “it’s science fiction”

But for Anthony Vivien, the blow is even more violent, because it comes from a player trained at the club. “Here we are talking about a ‘titi’, that I always defended in the 2010s, when he took a beating from the supporters, he recalls.

He was French champion in the early 2010s, he beat OM. I see him again, I was there that day. And to think that almost fifteen years later he will wear that jersey… Seeing him sing, wearing the scarf, I still can’t believe it.

Now, Anthony Vivien no longer knows if he can still consider Rabiot as a “titi”, as a child of PSG. “I never thought I would say those words. It’s science fiction. I still don’t believe it,

he confides. I don’t wish him any harm, I just hope that he gets a beating the day he comes to the Parc des Princes.” It will be next March.
