Eric di Meco will not be at RMC’s microphone if PSG go to the Champions League final. The former OM player was keen to put things right.
Thursday, L’Equipe affirmed that Eric Di Meco had asked the management of RMC not to comment on a possible final of Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, the winner of the 1993 edition with OM not feeling ” the best placed To be a consultant. But in The Parisian, Eric Di Meco totally denies having demanded such a thing from his employers, and explains why it seems more logical, according to him, that it is Jérôme Rothen who is on the air in the event of the presence of PSG in the final in a week in Lisbon. ” It seems that the controversy is swelling on social networks. But there is really nothing! It is not my decision, but that of the management of RMC Sport. I would have had no problem commenting on this game. You can’t refuse a Champions League final “Says the former Marseille player, who thus dismantles the hypothesis of a choice of heart.
And if this choice is that of the sports channel, Eric Di Meco considers that it is judicious, because it will avoid unnecessary and above all unjustified controversies. ” They found it more logical, and I agree with them, to call on my comrade Jérôme Rothen, with whom I work alternately. When RMC Sport was launched, Jérôme commented on all PSG matches and I commented on all of OM. This season, that was not the case and Jérôme was disappointed. Since the start of the year, I’ve been telling my bosses that the old way made more sense. To deprive him of the final would be scandalous. He was under contract for six years with PSG. He’s a kid of this club. He is much more legitimate than me. Also think of the viewers: on a match as historic as a Champions League final, Parisian supporters will prefer to hear Jérôme than me, who played in Marseille for fourteen years. And finally, put yourself in my place. You know the supporters: whatever I say at the end of the match, my words will be shelled. They will be seen as fake ass if I get flamed or jealous if I don’t do enough. I only have blows to take », Notes, in the Paris daily, Eric Di Meco. The fact remains that for the moment PSG are not yet qualified for the final of the Champions League, and that a 100% French final is still possible, which could then pose a problem for Jérôme Rothen.
