The anger is palpable. Contacted by RMC Sport, a former PSG striker-having also worn the OM jersey-did not mince his words concerning the anti-rabiot banner deployed by the Ultras Paris collective (CUP). “I would like to see the people who wrote this to find out if they have not made choices in their life that they do not assume”, he thunders, under the cover of anonymity. Before adding, more personal: “In 2024, see my name on such a banner … It hurts. »»
“Do those who wrote that assume their choices?” »»
The person concerned is none other than Fabrice Fiorèse (49 years old), passed by the two rivals between 2000 and 2007. The ex-adder is indignant: “Throwing all this hatred is too easy. Put yourself in place of Rabiot: his insulted mother, his deceased father mentioned … it's unworthy. »» A direct reference to CUP messages during PSG-OM, qualified as “Disconnected from football values”
by the LFP.
CUP in the viewfinder … Again and again
As a reminder, the Parisian ultras had deployed a banner targeting Rabiot with shock sentences on his family, causing the opening of a disciplinary investigation. A member of the CUP had assumed wanting to “shock”, denying insulting the father's father. An argument swept by fiorèse: “It remains cowardice. We attack a guy who just chose a club. »»
Fiorèse vs halilhodzic: inheritance disgust
Ironically of history: Fiorèse is not at its first disappointment. In 2007, his transfer from OM to PSG caused a tsunami. His coach of the time, Vahid Halilhodžić, had confessed to having “Almost vomit in disgust” By learning it. Today, it is he who embodies the voice of reason: “Football does not deserve it. Rabiot is a professional, not a target. »»
While PSG is trying to calm the game, the fiorèse declarations recall obvious: the Paris-Marseille fratricidal wars often exceed the ground. And the elders, whether they dragged their crampons on one side or the other, always pay for the costs.
