"Shame on our players, glory on our colors": with silence as a weapon, PSG supporters still angry

2022-04-03T21:01:19.908Z


As expected, the Collectif Ultras Paris continued to show its anger this Sunday, during the victory of PSG over Lorient, in Paris.


Present but silent

”.

The members of Collectif Ultras Paris have kept their word.

As they announced in a press release on Saturday, they took their place in their stands this Sunday, for the meeting of the 30th day of Ligue 1 between PSG and Lorient (5-1).

However, they did not sing or encourage their team: contempt as an answer, "

because they (the players) do not deserve better

", they said on Saturday.

No cheering, but no whistles during the game either.

Even during the changes, with for example the exit of Leo Paredes and the entry of Gini Wijnaldum just before the break.

Nothing, in fact… Moreover, the Parisian club had planned the coup by putting the sound system on, especially when the players entered for the warm-up.

The whistles, the CUP had reserved them for Neymar Jr and especially Mauricio Pochettino, the coach, when the starting compositions were announced, not Leo Messi this time, with loud applause for one man, Kylian Mbappé, who had already been spared by the Ultras in the victory against Bordeaux (3-0), just after the elimination in C1 against Real (3-1).

Bondy's crack was also warmly cheered by the rest of the stadium when he closed his foot for the break goal in the 28th minute, or when he restored his two-goal lead from the edge of the area, after having mystified Julien Laporte (67th).

Two goals and three assists to his credit.

Recital.

The darling is him.

Not Sergio Ramos anyway,

Give us back the Hechter

Ultras Paris Collective

At the entrance, the inverted banner of the Virage Auteuil announced the color.

Around the stadium, dead calm.

For the rest, icy atmosphere in the Park.

We only heard the flies flying, between two songs from the Lorient kop and the… Junior club.

And it wasn't the opener, early in the game, from Neymar Jr, which was going to warm her up… Nor was Terem Moffi's cap goal at the start of the second half, which was going to weigh her down.

The evil is deeper.

After this new European humiliation which set fire to the powder, the CUP indeed calls for "

a new organization chart

" and that "

the athlete be placed at the heart of the project and no longer marketing, which in particular necessarily involves the sustainability of the jersey Hechter as a strong symbol of the club's identity, season after season

".

A banner about said Hechter jersey was also deployed on Sunday evening (“

Give us the Hechter

”).

Another fell through the cracks of the club's security net: "

Shame on our players, glory on our colors

".

She didn't stay long.

This sums up the state of mind that reigns among most Ultras in this long end of the season.

Eight more matches on the menu, four in Paris.

Fortunately, Pochettino's men, (much) more serious than during the purge in Monaco (3-0), but (very) far from being flamboyant, did the job against Les Merlus (5-1), allowing the Paris Saint-Germain to regain its 12-point lead at the top of the standings ahead of OM, two weeks before the Classic on April 17, at the Parc des Princes, during the 32nd day of the French championship.

To see, the Parisian Ultras will put their grievances aside for the occasion… Next week, the Rouge et Bleu will go to Clermont.
