Chapter 231 The history of Paris, the rivers and lakes of Ligue [-]

Before leaving for Marseille, the players still had time to rest and relax, but Gao Yuyang was called alone.

"Gao, I remember you haven't visited the Hall of Honor in Greater Paris?" Blanco asked.

Gao Yuyang nodded, indeed not.

"It's unreasonable, but Mr. Director is here today, just in time."

Gao Yuyang was taken into the youth training building next to him, and he was still in the office where he signed the contract. The sports director Leonardo stood up with a smile: "Congratulations, Gao, Laurent told me that you have been selected for the squad against Marseille This means that you have the opportunity to become famous in the First World War and let the whole of France know you, but you must first understand what happened between us and Marseille, and also understand our history. This is what every Parisian should do thing."

Gao Yuyang rubbed his nose - if he remembered correctly, Paris Saint-Germain should be the giant with the shortest history in European football, right?And there are still many people who do not recognize the positioning of "rich family".

But he didn't say that, so he had to agree honestly.

In the Prince Park training base, there is a small honor room. Gao Yuyang walked into the first floor of the base building and turned into an exhibition hall of hundreds of square meters.

"Here it is, Gao."

Gao Yuyang walked in. There was no light in the room, but the light source on the big screen in the center shone brightly and dimly in the whole room. The big screen played various winning moments of Grand Paris. These light sources just hit the left and right sides. On the display cabinet, in the cabinet, a whole row of trophies shines in such an environment.

"This is our honor, Gao."

Leonardo turned on the light to illuminate the whole room, looked at the trophies in the showcase, and looked at Gao Yuyang: "Gao, how much do you know about the history of Paris Saint-Germain?"

"We are very young." Gao Yuyang gave a very tactful answer.

Leonardo smiled and was satisfied with this answer: "Yes, compared with teams like Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, we are indeed very young. But Gao, don't be misled by those outside, Paris Saint-Germain is rising Its history is a legendary epic that even the best screenwriters could not write!"

Leonardo had a pious face, and the expression on his face all revealed the pride of being a big Parisian. Gao Yuyang was studying hard beside him, but he was seriously surprised at the beginning.

In fact, if we really want to go back to the source, the history of Paris Saint-Germain is not weak at all. Its predecessor can even be traced back to the Paris Red Star Club established during the First World War. It is also one of the original founding clubs of the Ligue [-].

Since football was originally a sport appreciated by the aristocratic elite in France, the Red Star Club was once a status symbol. However, immigrants from Portugal, North Africa, and West Africa poured into Paris, and the city’s size and population expanded. A noble team obviously cannot represent the entire city. Everyone's appeal, ordinary people yearn for a team of their own - just like Real Madrid cannot represent the entire Madrid region, Atletico Madrid, Getafe... These clubs rooted in the common people also have their own market.

In the 70s, Platini was in full swing in the entire European football world, and he was the pride of the entire French football world. However, the current situation of Paris football is extremely embarrassing. Germanic Stadium Club goes bankrupt.Such a tragic situation even alarmed the French Football Association. There were already five top league clubs in London at the same time.

In this way, the famous PSG, Paris Saint-Germain club was born in 1970.

However, Paris Saint-Germain was not the orthodox representative of the city from the beginning.Later, those in power in the city believed that a "pure, Parisian club" should be established, so they separated Paris FC from the club.

This separation doesn't matter. Under the guise of "maintaining orthodoxy", those in power connived at Paris to take away all the professional players of the team and continue to play in Ligue [-], while Paris Saint-Germain can only retreat to the suburbs, with a group of young people. Children and amateur players from the echelon are trained to play in the third-level amateur league.

Gao Yuyang listened with gusto, but he never knew that Paris had such a family history.

"I think those in power will regret it to death when they see Paris now."

Leonardo shook his head: "No, no, Gao, you're wrong, you can't wait until now, they will regret it after four seasons! Paris Saint-Germain completed the double jump in two years, and just when we re- In the season when they returned to Ligue 1973, Paris FC was relegated from Ligue 74, that was the [-]-[-] season, and now they are still in the second division, haha!"

So to be fair, since Paris Saint-Germain entered Ligue [-], it has represented the orthodox status of Parisian football. However, for a long time, the performance of Greater Paris was not outstanding. Until the first ten years of this century, French football It's all Lyon's time.

Until Nasser entered Paris, the later story is what we see now, and the Ligue [-] pattern has undergone a fundamental reversal.

"This is Paris, Gao, as you can see, we have won 24 championship trophies, all here. But the middle shelf of that big cabinet is empty. place to stay."

Leonardo sighed softly: "This is also the reason why many people don't recognize us. Greater Paris has never been afraid of any opponent, but we lack an honor that can make the whole of Europe shut up. Gao, Greater Paris does not have so many Superstar. The most legendary superstar of the club in the past should be Ronaldinho. If you can lead Paris to win the Champions League... Haha! I promise you will become the hero of the whole Paris. At that time, I promise you in the Parc des Princes A statue at the front of the stadium! Just like Arsenal did for Tony Adams - if I was still here."

Gao Yuyang responded with a smile: "Then I want to order a 24K pure gold statue!"

Leonardo patted Gao Yuyang on the shoulder: "This is just the beginning, it's not good for young people to think too much. It's better to focus on the next game. Our confrontation with Marseille is the French national derby...Gao, you Do you know what the Clasico means?"

Gao Yuyang instantly thought of the Spanish national derby, the Argentine national derby, and the time-honored Scottish derby, and said, "You will die."

Leonardo nodded again and again: "Very good! This is the most direct contest, not just a football contest! In fact, Ligue [-] may be far more complicated than you think."

He raised his hand and looked at his watch: "There should still be some time, Gao. Next, I will tell you about the factions in French football. Be patient. It will be good for you to face different opponents in the future."

Gao Yuyang continued to listen carefully.

"The entire Ligue [-] can be roughly divided into Lyon and Marseille. Lyon is a group of teams headed by Lyon, and Marseille also means the same."

"Wait a minute sir." Gao Yuyang couldn't help asking: "Why is there no Paris department? We should not be friends with these two teams, right?"

Leonardo was a little helpless: "It's still because of youth. Before we seized the dominance of the league, Lyon was the hegemony of Ligue [-], and Marseille is the oldest and the only team in Ligue [-] that has won the European Champions Cup so far. .”

Gao Yuyang understands, this is Jiang Hu!It's the same wherever you go, there are younger brothers who have strength.

"Then which department does our Greater Paris belong to?"

"Marseilles."

Leonardo's answer made Gao Yuyang's mouth open. What is this... a national derby between the big brother and the little brother? ? ?

"Don't be surprised, Kao, that's how it used to be. Now, real Parisians never bother with that."

Then Leonardo talked a lot. Fortunately, Gao Yuyang had enough brains to sort out the Ligue [-] factions.

On the Lyon side, Lyon's most loyal follower is Lille, and even the top executives of the club are brothers-the younger brother of Lyon chairman Jean-Michel Aulas is the vice-chairman of Lille, behind closed doors They are all brothers.

The relationship between Lyon and Marseille is naturally not good, and the relationship with Monaco, another Ligue 2002 team, is not good, because in the distant 03-[-] season, Monaco and Lyon had a tragic league championship.In that era when Lyon was king and hegemony, all who threatened my status were enemies!

Therefore, the teams that have a good relationship with Lyon are Toulouse and Le Mans, which are on the verge of relegation.

The Marseille department is completely reversed. It adheres to the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend. The relationship with Monaco is very good, and it tries its best to attract powerful teams outside the Calais region of France to expand its power outside the base camp of Lyon. , including Rennes, Nice and more.

As for the division of Paris into the Marseille department, it also stems from the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend. The ideal of the Ligue [-] teams in those years was to overthrow the monopoly of Lyon.

But if you really take this to the Parisians and Marseilles, they can smash your head!Whoever admits that the two have a good relationship will definitely be punished by both sides for the crime of collaborating with the enemy!

"Gao, but you don't have to worry. In the current Ligue [-], no one can move our position! So Paris doesn't need to form cliques. Mr. Nasser also has ambitious goals for the club, you know that."

Gao Yuyang nodded lightly, and to be honest, he only had one feeling after listening: Your circle is really chaotic!

No wonder Ligue [-] is at the tail end of the five major leagues—the world is so complicated, who still has the heart to play football!
