Everyone defends their side. With his weapons and his power. Already unhappy with the team composition of PSG against Clermont (1-1) Saturday evening during the 28th day of Ligue 1 (Luis Enrique had forced almost all his starters to breathe in view of the quarter-final of the Champions League against FC Barcelona on Wednesday), Jean-Michel Roussier was heard again on Sunday. The president of Le Havre, who is fighting to remain in the elite, with Clermont as his direct competitor in particular, made an offensive speech against the Parisian club.

“The week began when the League informed me that in the event that PSG – which I sincerely hope for them – passed the Barcelona stage and played a semi-final, the match against Le Havre (31st day) could be -be shifted between the 33rd and 34th day, he explained on RMC. This is how my anger began” In its desire to see French football shine, in the middle of the period of TV rights which have still not been allocated, the LFP is trying to arrange the teams still competing on the European scene. Which is understood. Not for everyone, and in particular the teams who are hoping to stay in L1, with significant financial challenges there too.

On this possibility of change of calendar, the boss of Le Havre, 14th in Ligue 1, assures that he wants to “play at the Park on April 27, not between the 33rd and 34th day”. He therefore took the lead in the media on Sunday evening. “I told the League: You’re dreaming. Do you think that in the situation we are in, I will agree to make a trip to Nice then to the Parc before receiving OM? You are crazy ! In addition, we are between the penultimate and the last day, the regulations stipulate that these two days are protected. So I say no straight away, it’s out of the question. »
