It is beautiful an anvil that flies into the sky. Long after the end of the match and by the grace of an image seen on a phone. The PFC is in Ligue 1 And, suddenly, everything has become vaporous and aerial. But during all meetingthe only ones to offer a little lightness were these two seagulls flying above the Francis-Turkish stadium. Maybe from above it was beautiful to see. And again.
But at the height of a man, everything was heavy for the Parisians. The scare, the real one, the one who fears to miss the last step, twisted the bellies and signed everyone. The players of Paris FC First but also the leaders in the stands. The tense faces of President Pierre Ferracci and ofAntoine Arnaultthe main shareholder, recalled how much football sometimes suffers more than the business world.
At the end of the meeting, the latter no longer holds it, he rises and gets up from his seat to dribble, in vain, the tension. And from the end of the match, he rushed to the tiny press tribune to follow the last minutes of Metz-Rodez. Another three minutes of anxiety and, suddenly, it’s over. In Lorraine, Metz carries his cross with a naughty zero (3-3) and Antoine Arnault howls his joy. This draw (1-1) Reported by Martigues was therefore sufficient. This stressed leg match will only remain memories for its fun morals: Paris went to seek happiness in the Bouches-du-Rhône, 30 minutes from Marseille.
“L 1, we’re not going to move!” »»
And this happiness is a succession of cries. Pierre Ferracci, so closed before the match, does not stop talking. He first wants to have a thought for Christian Amara, the honorary president of the PFC, Died three months ago. An elegance that he will then repeat a word for word in the locker room. “Christian would have liked to live this moment so much,” he slips. A second Parisian club in L 1, many have spoken of it for almost 50 years and these players, did it. And I am very happy to have left the Arnault family only six months in L 2 when I spent much more time (smiles). »»
If he does not want to evoke his suffering when all his features say his relief, Pierre Ferracci, confesses all the same: “This championship is so hard. I have my head that will burst. However, in the talk at the hotel, I told the guys the same as our coach: GentlemenpTake pleasure. And now I have something else to say: L 1, we’re not going to move! »»
Just behind his back, Thomas Sotto, the journalist from France Télévisions and a big supporter of the PFC, looks like a child at the foot of a Christmas tree filled with gifts. He lies down alone on the lawn, his nose in heaven and lost in his joy.
“A big day for Paris and Île-de-France”
This scene, Antoine Arnault almost saw her by going himself to seek Coach Stéphane Gilli On the lawn to bring him back to the locker room so that his players carry him in triumph. The businessman, the space of a football parenthesis, is almost ecstatic. When he speaks, everyone is silent: “I know it was not easy for you,” he begins. You were in mind, you see a great shareholder, powerful, known. The way you managed the pressure was extraordinary. You were great. »»
It will not be the only thanks that the Arnault family will send to the players. “I have heard of watches, I believe,” launches, mischievous, Pierre Ferracci. “We’ll see it next week,” says the shareholder to players. With them, happiness is in tune. “Let us go up directly, it was fate, asserts the striker Nouha Dicko. It’s great to have two Parisian clubs in Ligue 1. It’s a great day for Paris and Île-de-France. »»
