Former French footballer David Ginola had little appreciation for the remark made by journalist Bertrand Latour during his analysis of PSG – Girona.
PSG started their Champions League campaign with a victory on Tuesday (1-0). But the victory was anything but impressive. Against Girona, the French champions won but with difficulty. Should we be satisfied with that?
Bertrand Latour, a new journalist at Canal+, said yes, given the circumstances. David Ginola, who was on the same set, did not share this opinion. Latour then tackled him, saying that his reaction surprised him, given that he was a player before. A remark that the “Magnifico” did not like.
Ginola did not like PSG’s performance
“It is precisely because I was a player that I am not relieved, Ginola retorted. Is there a sense of accomplishment? I don’t think so. Are we going to go into the locker room with confidence? No. That’s why relieved is not the word I would have used. Or maybe only on an accounting level. We’re playing against a team of 4e hats off to us, especially in midfield.”
Words that also found an echo in Samir Nasri.
“Two hours ago, everyone was saying that this was the new PSG. But during the 90 minutes of this first Champions League match, I didn’t see any of that. It’s still a good thing they won against Girona. Paris is still a credible candidate for the Champions League. No Girona player is a starter at PSG, not even on the bench. And we have to settle for a 1-0 at home, pulled by the hair thanks to an Arconada.”
