AS Saint ETienne co-shareholders and sellers, Bernard Caïazzo and Roland Romeyer were present, this Sunday, in the snow at Geoffroy-Guichard, to witness ASSE's loss to PSG (1-3) and. ....Miguel Salgado, a former Spain international.,according to L'Equipe daily, is a sports consultant for Total Sports Investments LLP (TSI) company. Sports Investment Ventures has just begun negotiations on the acquisition of ASSE. Accordingly, TSI has expressed its willingness to inject 100 million euros into the ASSE club, including buying shares and injecting money into the team's current account. An amount much higher than that offered by two other investors, Markarian and Roussier, was recently rejected.

 London-based TSI will now be well positioned to take over Saint-Etienne. The proof is that KPMG, the Anglo-Dutch company responsible for overseeing the sale, has agreed to open negotiations, and in a move to demonstrate to the current leaders of Saint-Etienne In their determination, several TSI representatives were in Saint ETienne this Sunday afternoon, including Russian billionaire Sergei Lomakin, the company's president since 2010. Everything seems to be working out nice, as L'Equipe pointed out that all sides met after the loss to Psg, to visit the facilities of the Robert-Herbin sports center in Etrat. At this rate, the change of hands is likely to end before the end of the year, as originally wanted by Bernard Caïazzo and Roland Romeyer. Le Progrès newspaper reported that on Monday, the meeting between Sergei Lomakin and the chairman of the board of directors of AS Saint-Etienne was only the first step regarding Total Sport Investments (TSI)'s possible purchase of ASSE. "Lomakin's fortune will revive the Blue Devil, however his investments in difficult times will be viewed with caution",1 noting that TSI has invested in the past in Portsmouth and the case. This turned into a huge failure afterwards.

 Angel Di Maria was the special guest of the Rothen interview on Friday on RMC SPORT. Opportunity for the Argentinian player to talk about his position , the future at PSG, Lionel Messi, Mbappe, Ligue1......

@ How do you rate the start of the season for PSG?

"I think it's hard to say... We had a good start to the season in Ligue1, topping the table with a big gap to the second. Psg reached the knockout stages of the Champions League even if we wanted to. 1st place in the group but the important thing is that Paris has qualified, so we are doing well at the moment. Then for sure when some results are not so it becomes more complicated. We talk about it, the press too, it's not easy. But the most important thing is to continue on the winning path, to try to do the best you can to win titles."

@ do you understand the criticism of PSG? Does Psg have to improve to have high hopes this season?

"Yes, we always have to improve. Every game has mistakes, things don't go the way we want. There are new players, a coach trying to show his way of playing. Adaptation. It's also up to us and things don't happen instantly, but little by little it will be fine."

@How to explain PSG's difficulties in the Champions League, especially in the second leg against Manchester City?

‎" Tough question… At City there are extraordinary players, at a high level… quite similar to us. It was a tough game, they played very well with a lot of possession, Guardiola made sure the players. he always plays the same style. It's not easy to break this way of playing, it's very difficult to deal with their pressure. Man city works very well together. We tried to play our way. Sometimes he succeeds, sometimes he doesn't. Psg took the lead and then even managed to equalize but I think it was a Champions League game, it was very difficult... Man city has a lot of players. great, if we couldn't score, their stars would make a lot of difference.Things didn't go as we wanted, the whole team wanted to win despite Marco's injury ( Verratti), of Wijnaldum… During the match Ander (Herrera) and Gana (Gueye) were also injured, that's what happens and we have to adapt to it.‎

@ do you agree to play in the center of the attack ?

"I believe I have proven that I can play in this position. It was also my best year at Real in 2014. The coach knew I could play there but then it was his decision and I'm there to do my best on the pitch no matter where, in the middle, in front or elsewhere. These are the questions for the coach, the only thing I've done since coming to PSG is to try my best. when I'm on the pitch In 2014 I played as a striker and I feel very good, very happy Besides the quality players at PSG like Marco (Verratti), Leandro (Paredes) or Gana (Gueye) ) can also do but this is the decision of the head coach.

@ are you willing to put in the effort to play in this position?

"Yes, of course. I want and always want to start, although sometimes it doesn't happen, but it's always important to always give the best effort to give the coach another option. And then he will decide. I decide with the technical staff. They decide how to organize the team and my only goal is to be 100% ready."

@How to compete with Mbappe-Messi-Neymar trio?

‎"It's not easy to answer... When we have this trio in front of us, they will be the first choice, because they are the best on the pitch. They deserve to start.... Leo (Messi) ), different from the rest. He is the best player in the world and always has to be on the pitch. Then comes me, I always try to be at 100%, try my best to be in the eleven. starting player I know it's not easy seeing these players in my position That's why I'm trying my best to find another option. vertical and I'm on the wing, we've usually played that way. It's the coach's decision and I try to do my best to give him additional options."

@ Will the development of PSG undergo a system change, such as a three-midfield formation?

"I think this is a question for the coach, not for me… It's true that when there's a negative result, people talk and think as if a coach, from the outside, it's a bit easy. "But from the inside, we know that usually PSG play 4-3-3. With Ibra or Pastore it's always been like that. And with the players that PSG have today, we can too. play 4-3-3 quietly Things don't go the way everyone wants, easy wins with superior ball control But it's a question of balance. "I have a midfielder who likes to hold the ball and three fast attacking players in front. It's not easy to find the balance, and we are approaching it step by step."

@ Have you made your mark with a particular coach at PSG ?

‎" I believe I had some key moments in seven years. The first year with Thomas Tuchel was one of the best years for me and a memorable one. After the first year when Laurent Blanc arrived. , everything was also very good. I had a lot of important moments, there were ups and downs.... There was only one person who had a peak, that was Leo Messi. After that, I tried to be that person. best possible despite the ups and downs.."‎

@ Where do you place PSG in comparison with the big European clubs where you played?

"I think PSG is a very big club. When I signed, I knew I was going to be here long-term and I wanted to. Every year we tried to improve to achieve the ambitions of the club. The team is always recruiting important players. The goal is to fight for the championship. That's why I always want to stay here. It's not easy in football to stick with one sentence. club for seven years because sometimes you need a change. But I've always felt good here, so has my family, so that's the most important thing."

@ do you feel like a Parisian?

'Yes, all I needed was the language to make it perfect."

@do you know you are a legend of PSG?

"Yes that's true. I know what I've done here, in terms of the number of trophies we've won. I have a special affection for the club and the city. From the very beginning I felt like at home here everyone is so nice inside and outside the club that i can't feel anything negative Everything is good, cant be faulted and i am very happy.

@The contract is coming to an end, is the club talking about an extension?

"I have another year of options if both sides agree. For me, it's also a matter of age, my goal is to come out the front door,and happy. I left Real in this condition. bad conditions despite winning the Champions League, then with Manchester, it's the same. If I have to go back to Argentine football, I hope to leave from a big club like PSG."

@ do you want to start on a new path?

"I especially hope to have another year here."

@Lionel Messi happy in Paris?

‎"Yes, he is very happy. Messi's family is adjusting well, his children are enjoying school. He has found his home and is adjusting well with the people at the club. His job. Adapting over time is normal in football New home, new school.. It's not easy because he's spent his whole life in Barcelona.. For someone who is used to changing clubs. every time is better, but not Messi. He's had his whole life at Barca. But he's very happy, he's adapted now and that's the most important thing."

@ Messi are you satisfied with PSG's play? At Barça he played in a club that owned a lot of the ball, in Paris he had to adapt.

"Yes it is. This is why adapting is not easy. He comes to a team that has already made its mark. .. he is looking for balance, it is not always easy. It takes time, it needs to work… You know, in football we don't have time, criticism comes quickly, problems don't, but most importantly, we're there. The whole team feels good to him and little by little he will get better and better, score goals and everything will work out.

@ Messi deserve to win the Ballon d'Or this year?

"Yes I think so too. He had an important year in his career. Winning the Copa America with Argentina after so many misses he finally won it. Just this is Messi. was very deserving of the title of the Golden Ball"

@ Is the dressing room trying to convince Mbappe to renew?

"No, the truth is, these kinds of questions are very personal. Kylian wants the best for his football career. Obviously we want to tell Mbappe that he's still here, that he won't leave, but these are personal decisions."

@ being able to play football with Mbappe is an opportunity to improve?

"Yes, it's true to have the opportunity to play with a fast player like Kylian. We know that whatever depth pass you give Mbappe he's going to get it and maybe score. It's really impressive. My relationship with him is really great, being able to play with players like that is a phenomenal plus."

@What do you think about the development of Ligue 1?

"Since I came to PSG, obviously Ligue 1 has improved a lot. The championship has become more competitive. Of course PSG have extraordinary players but sometimes in 90 minutes we just create a way. small difference… 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1… despite the difference between PSG and other teams.... ' the debate was heated. Lyon won one big man, lost another big man, It's the same for Marseille. The championship is very competitive. A lot of teams have fast attacking players, and that makes it difficult for us, especially when we have to play away."

@ What do you think of the incidents in French stadiums?

" Yes... It is true that in Argentina we have the same problems... But what happened recently in France with the canceled matches, the shootings, it is ugly. I want to talk to you. people that it's just football... that there are 5-6-7 year olds coming to the field to cheer on their players... These things ruin the game and it's not good. rock just for fun."

@ do you think you can make 18+ assists this season in Ligue 1 to erase Jérôme Rothen's record?

"This year is going to be complicated, I've had few chances to play even if there's still time. Maybe with Kylian, Neymar or Leo ... easier than with me ... hoping to play there. Paris one more year to be able to break the record."

If Kylian Mbappé's performances on football fields capture the majority of attention from football observers and fans alike, a change in the personal life of the Paris Saint-Germain player could be crucial. to your professional future. Revealed by Closer magazine, Mbappe has found her other half, which is Ema Smet, the granddaughter of Johnny Halliday , the young girl who appeared with him. against Kylian Mbappé on October 29 in the stands of Pierre-Mauroy Stadium during the PSG-Lille match.

 Ema Smet is the actress of the series "Tomorrow Belongs to Us" which is quite popular in France. So did Kylian Mbappé decide to reconsider her career plans? Wouldn't he want to focus on life in France (signing a new contract with PSG) or going to Madrid or elsewhere in Europe? The young French player is not the first to prioritize his personal life over his football career. And if love takes off, it remains to be seen whether Kylian Mbappé will stay in Paris or fly somewhere else in the old continent...

If he becomes a couple with Ema, Mbappe will probably have to thank the Brazilian, Neymar because he met this lovely actress at a party organized by Neymar himself.. 

It will be necessary to get used to it, the situation of the couple composed of Mauro Icardi and Wanda Nara is about to become a very regular soap opera. It remains to be seen when PSG will whistle the end since the striker is still not training on Monday.

In 48 hours as much happened in the life of the Icardi couple as in a good TV series, and a priori when there are no more, there are still some. For those who would discover the sentimental adventures of the Argentine striker of Paris Saint-Germain and Wanda Nara, his wife and agent, it all began Saturday night on Instagram, the couple's playground. In a brutal message, Mrs. Icardi accused a "slut" of breaking up her relationship, with eyes immediately turning to an Argentine actress suspected of having had an adulterous relationship with Mauro Icardi. On Sunday, Wanda Nara, who is very popular in Italy, flew to Milan to mark her brutal break with the Parisian player. End of the first episode.

A few hours later, it was learned that a depressed Mauro Icardi had been allowed by PSG to miss training two days before Leipzig's reception in the Champions League. But in the evening, the Argentine player, recruited at Inter in 2019, reappeared in turn in Milan, and in the company of Wanda Nara, two photos on social networks were there to testify to a great closeness between the Icardi spouses, supposed to be separated for a few hours. So we thought that Mauro Icardi had turned the situation around, big mistake and end of the second episode.

Monday morning, once again Mauro Icardi was not present at training, for a "family reason", which announces a probable forfeit of the Parisian number 9 for the C1 match against the Germans club ,Leipzig. And it didn't take long to see Wanda Nara reappear on Instagram. In one story, Mauro Icardi's wife and agent posted a photo of his hand with a sentence that says it all: "I prefer my hand without a wedding ring." A way like any other to prove that she did not intend to pass the sponge and that her marriage had been shattered. Not enough to restore the morale of the Player of Paris Saint-Germain. End of the third episode.
