It's not really what we call a Ligue 1 poster. Generally, Lorient-PSG does not thrill the crowds, except when it's the post-remounted match like in 2017 and Serge Aurier is putting pressure on the crowd. to put on his socks and shorts when replacing.
For the singer Hervé, nominated next February 12 in the Male Revelation category of the Victoires de la Musique, this remains a special meeting.
That of his heart clubs.
PSG, which this native of Yvelines has always supported, and Lorient because Hervé Le Sourd has ties to Brittany.
He even recorded his first album, the seductive “Hyper”, after a mini-album in 2019, called “Mélancolie FC”.
With Hervé, the round ball is never far away.
On its website, there are scarves and pennants in the colors of the Mélancolie Football Club.
And when we asked him to define Paris in three words as part of the “Paris Paradis” festival, the answer came out: “O City of Light”.
This Belleville resident had even sung the song of the PSG supporters he knows like the back of his hand.
“I have long dreamed of being a pro player.
Even there, if you told me I am offering you a third division club, I think I would go, he told us last June when his album was released.
But I found what I love about football in music.
Travel, warm-up, stage attire, locker rooms, teamwork, I made a transfer.
»A win-win transfer.
When this former defender, rough by his own admission, understood around 15-16 years old that he would not break into the world of football, he transferred all his hopes to music with incipient success.
He nonetheless keeps an emotional bond with his favorite sport and a veneration for Eric Cantona and Edinson Cavani, the top scorer of PSG (200 goals).
He distanced himself from the Park
“I have a passion for Cavani.
His free kick at the Vélodrome against Marseille in 2017
(Editor's note: 2-2
) is one of my most vivid memories.
He is incredible.
I'm happy that he (Cavani) is leaving, he was not respected, ”he confided in an interview with So Foot, just before the summer and the signing of the Matador at Manchester United.
The man who wrote three songs that appeared on Johnny Halliday's last posthumous album admits not going to the Parc des Princes too much.
His atmosphere "too museum" displeases him, even if he recognizes the involvement never denied of the Parisian ultras to brighten the atmosphere.
Finally, melancholy, or nostalgia - one cannot say too much - is a predominant character trait in Hervé.
Especially when it comes to talking about what still connects him to the football.
“I prefer to go to the stadium for the country side, the atmosphere, the fervor, whatever the level.
When I was in Brittany, I went to the stadium in Lorient, in Brest.
We were going to see the pre-season on old regional level clubs, he told the monthly.
My album (
Editor's note: Hyper
) is quite physical.
It has the style of a small English club or a Ligue 2 club, where it swings in front with the block which goes up super fast and a lot of commitment.
The anti-Barça, what.
I am too pissed off in front of Barça.
I am fascinated by the beautiful game, but there is a cinema side, I feel outside these matches.
We can bet that he will overcome his boredom to see the Catalans face PSG next month in the Champions League.
Like a story endlessly restarted.
