Un Match pas comme les autres<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Paris contre Marseille\u2014c’est un rivalit\u00e9 pas comme les autres. Un rivalit\u00e9 qui a d\u00e9j\u00e0 tourn\u00e9 \u00e0 la violence sur le terrain et en dehors du terrain. Cette histoire a commenc\u00e9 dans les ann\u00e9es quatre-vingt-dix. \u00c0 ce moment, l’Olympique de Marseille (OM) est une des meilleures \u00e9quipes d’Europe. C’est pourquoi le pr\u00e9sident de l’Olympique de Marseille, B\u00e9rnard Tapis, est \u00e0 la recherche d’un rival pour remonter le niveau du championnat de France. Apr\u00e8s r\u00e9flection, \u00e7a serait le Paris Saint Germain (PSG), l’\u00e9quipe de la capitale. Ce choix s\u00e9pare le nord et le sud de France pour les supporteurs: une opposition parfaite qui va au-del\u00e0 de la g\u00e9ographie pour opposer l’\u00e9quipe de la bourgeoisie fran\u00e7aise (PSG) et l’\u00e9quipe du peuple et des ouvriers (Marseilles). \u00c0 travers les m\u00e9dias, le pr\u00e9sident du club et les joueurs jouent la provocation. Ce rivalit\u00e9 a dur\u00e9 presque trent ans et continue aujourd’hui.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

A Game Not Like The Others<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paris against Marseille\u2014a rivalry unlike others. A rivalry that has already turned to violence both on the field and off. This rivalry began in the 1990s. At this time, the Olympique de Marseille (OM) was one of the best soccer teams in Europe. That’s why the president of the Olympique de Marseille, Bernard Tapis, was looking for a rival to increase his team’s performance for the French championship. After reflection, Paris Saint Germain (PSG), the capital team, would be chosen for this role. This choice separated supporters from the north and south of France: a perfect opposition that went beyond geography to place the French bourgeoisie (PSG) against the regular people and workers (OM). With the help of the media, the president of Marseille and the players began to provoke one another. This rivalry has lasted nearly thirty years and continues to this day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
