Chapter 188 Before the Game
On the evening of April 2012, 4, the No.8 round of the Ligue 30 league ushered in the last game, which was also the most focused national derby of this round.

Half an hour before the start of the game, the fans had already surrounded several entrances of the Parc des Princes, and only lined up to check the tickets under the guidance of the on-site staff, and then entered the stadium one after another.

Inside the stadium, Matt, Grew, and Odart have already found their seats. As fans who will come to support Paris Saint-Germain at home every time, the three of them have already left their status as rookie fans, otherwise they must still be queuing outside.

Not long after, more and more Paris Saint-Germain fans began to sit in the seats around the three of them. Everyone was basically wearing the home jersey of Paris Saint-Germain this season. The main color of the jersey was blue, and the middle and some other small parts were red. Blue and red have always been the traditional colors of Paris Saint-Germain jerseys.

However, last season was an exception, because last season happened to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the club. On the occasion of the anniversary, the team's home jersey returned to the color of the home jersey at the beginning of the club's establishment, so the Paris Saint-Germain home jersey in the 2010-11 season was red, while the blue-red jersey was used as the team's away jersey.

The anniversary has passed, and Paris Saint-Germain, which has a new look this season, has returned to the original blue and red tradition. Since it is a new look, the jerseys of this season will naturally have new changes, that is, a striking white round collar is added to the new jersey. The white lines on both sides of the red chest are also wider than before.

As more and more fans entered the stadium, the entire main stand of the Parc des Princes was dyed blue and red by fans wearing home jerseys.

The camera zoomed in, and the fans in front of the TV could still see the striking Arabic number "7" on the jerseys of many fans with their backs to the stadium. This also shows that Wang Zi has a lot of weight in the hearts of the fans.

Gong Huanqing and Zhao Wenbo recently joined an organization of fans of Italian students studying abroad. There are many fans of Wang Zi in it, so they naturally follow Paris Saint-Germain.

Before the start of the French national derby, a group of Chinese students studying abroad in Italy found a football bar they often go to in downtown Rome and waited for the game to start.

The owner of the bar is very familiar with most of them, because this large group of Chinese students studying abroad came here to watch the football game not once or twice, and they have become friends over time, just like today, they have already called to reserve a seat.

The bar owner Andre Merck, who likes to make friends, is different from most other Italians. He is naturally extroverted, and he has a good relationship with this group of Chinese students. Every time they have a reservation, Andre Merck will send some extra drinks and snacks.

If there is more free time, Andre Merck will also join this group of international students. Chatting, bragging, watching games are fine, but the main thing is to talk about football. Although he also talks about other things, he talks less.

As the French national derby is approaching, the fans of the home and away teams are almost seated. Because it is the home of Paris Saint-Germain, the number of fans of the home team naturally far exceeds the number of fans of the visiting team. More than two-thirds of the Parc des Princes are blue and red.

On the other side of the rivalry with the fans of the home team, even if it is an away game, there are still many fans who come with the Marseille expedition, symbolizing the sky blue of the Marseille club occupying the rest of the stadium.

Before the start of the game, the fans on both sides had already had a contest. Although the Marseille fans of the visiting team did not have an advantage in number, they still worked hard to deal with the Paris Saint-Germain fans and were unwilling to lose to their opponents in terms of momentum.

In the stands of the visiting team, many Marseille fans wrote and drew on the whiteboard they brought, and held it up after a while.

The whiteboard is basically filled with words such as "3:2", "reversal", "lose", and some Marseille fans even drew a grimace next to the score.

These words are simply a disgrace to the Paris Saint-Germain fans on the other side of the stand. This is the Marseille fans showing off to them, showing off Marseille's comeback victory in the first national derby against Paris Saint-Germain this season.

For the provocation of the Marseille fans, the Paris Saint-Germain fans at home quickly responded. They responded to the opposite Marseille fans with huge boos and exaggerated expressions.

However, the fans of both sides also know that these are just "appetizers" before the start of the game.

The pre-match "battle" between the fans of the two teams did not continue to be played, and the French TV station cut back to the studio.

As the camera pulled back, Patrick Guillo said naturally: "This national derby can't be lost for both teams. The result of the game will bring complicated changes to the standings. Therefore, the French Football Association and the league officials put this game at the end of this round of the league, which can attract everyone's attention. Whether it is the fans of the home and away teams, fans of other teams, or players and coaches of other teams, everyone will continue to pay attention until the end of the game."

Yoan Lu, who was sitting next to Patrick Gillo, nodded, took his partner's words, and said: "Yes, the result of this game is also very important to the two teams themselves."

"Paris Saint-Germain is currently one of the teams with the best financial situation in Europe. After the Qatar consortium bought 70% of the team's equity last May, the team has directly set its goal on the league championship this season. They are also actively striving for the first league championship after 1994, which is the third championship trophy in team history."

"And Paris Saint-Germain is currently ranked second in the standings. That is to say, if they want to continue to have the hope of winning the championship, the team must win the national derby against Marseille tonight, because if there is a loss, Montpellier, which is currently at the top of the list, can directly extend the points advantage to six points. This is a catastrophic blow for Paris Saint-Germain. Lier's chances are almost gone."

"Although Marseille has no hope of competing for the league championship this season, the team still has the opportunity to qualify for the Europa League and even the Champions League qualifiers, so they will also seize this opportunity to win the game. Moreover, it is the goal of everyone in the Marseille team to double-kill Paris Saint-Germain in the national derby."

"This is a key battle related to the future rankings of the two sides, and it is also a national derby, so no one will go all out for this."

Patrick Guillo was noncommittal: "Because of this, this game is even more eye-catching."

Then, Patrick Guillo continued: "Sitting at home, Paris Saint-Germain has a good location. Marseille must perform well in the away game, because only through outstanding performance can they achieve good results in the away game, and Marseille's good performance will definitely stimulate Paris Saint-Germain. At that time, I believe everyone will see two teams that are going all out, and this will also bring the competitiveness of the national derby to a higher level."

Under the warm-up of the two commentators on French TV, the time also came to the pre-match appearance ceremony, and the director's camera cut back to the stadium again, and cut to the player tunnel.
