Topic 1: The PSG is it magic?
To verify the claim of supporters Paris Saint Germain that "Paris is Magic!", it is necessary to examine the club from the French capital under different aspects: its origins, its leaders, its supporters, its legendary coach, its iconic player, and finally his historic game.
I - Origins
A-The cast
The first witch to have looked at the cradle of the GMP in 1970 did so in order to offer Paris a football club High level worthy of the name so that all major European capitals they have at least two representatives. To achieve their ends, they employed an incantation very powerful for the merger of the club Stade Saint Germain with that of Paris Football Club. In memory of this magical ceremony the crest of the club is now composed of an Eiffel Tower that spans a lily on top of a cradle. Version of this story intended for muggles is that these two symbols actually represent the city of Dauphin, birthplace of the future Sun King Louis XIV. The power of enchantment is such that it allows, in his first season at PSG FC newly created de France champion finished second division and join the elite in the wake of French football.
B-division
In 1972, the council of Paris then conditioned its grant to several factors including the fact that the club finally take the name of Paris FC. This requirement is unacceptable for "commuters" of Saint-Germain en Laye (city where today the training center and training center) therefore causes a rift between Paris FC remaining in D1 and Section Amateur PSG CF, it is downgraded to Division 3. Despite this setback in June 1974 after two successive promotions PSG FC found the first division and crosses the PFC which falls in D2. PSG has since then been the only French club to have continuously maintained at this level. If evidence is need the magic formula used in its creation, always protects effectively.
II - Leaders
A-era
Hechter Daniel Hechter's presidency from 1973 to 1978 was mainly marked by the creation by him of the famous magic club shirt (blue with a wide red stripe middle) whose supporters in Paris, very attached to the symbols, got back last season.
era B-Borelli
Hechter adventure ended after the scandal of double tickets to the Parc des Princes. Then comes the era of the charismatic president from 1978 to which Borelli 1991 provides for PSG's first major trophies: 2 cups of France (1982, 1983) and a champion of France in 1986 with players like Fernandez Susic, Rocheteau, Bats headed by a young novice coach named Gerard Houllier. It was then that the magic of PSG jersey is really beginning to manifest itself in obvious ways. How else to explain the resounding defeat of Jean-Luc Largardère with Matra Racing during his attempted implantation of a second professional football club in Paris between 1987 and 1989?
C - The era Canal +
But starting in 1991 that the magic will really to express themselves fully within the capital club. That year, Canal + took control of the PSG and offers highly talented international players: Bernard Lama, Alain Roche, Ricardo, Valdo, David Ginola, George Weah, Rai, and Youri Djorkaeff. This financial effort of Canal + is designed to offer an opponent the OM at its height to maintain the outstanding performance of his favorite customers (one of its two pillars with the adult film released on the first Saturday of the month ... ). In 1994, the club spent under the thumb of George Arthur won his second championship of France. The year before PSG might even benefit another security following the decommissioning of the OM after the famous case "VA-OM (OM cf Files investigation Marseille). League legally attributed this song to Paris but Canal Plus refused, even threatening to withdraw completely from football if the title was awarded to PSG. Indeed Canal did not want to finish the trash all decoders of many supporters of OM throughout France. The chain went so far as to deny that PSG dispute the Champions League after excluding OM European competitions. But it is in that Cup magic version of the GMP + channel operates most often. The balance sheet not less than 5 Cups of France (1993, 1995, 1998, 2004 and 2006), 2 League Cups (1995 and 1998) and cherry on the cake a European Cup Winners Cup in 1996 under the leadership of Luis Fernandez.
In 1998, the seven-Michel Denisot magical ending. The influential Biétry Charles takes over, but was forced to resign after only six months spent in club head. He leaves behind a bloodless as heavily indebted club following a recruitment policy for the least risky. His successor Laurent Perpère have nothing to envy with masterly missed the return of Nicolas Anelka, sold € 700 000 FC Arsenal and bought more € 33.2 million to Real Madrid for results far from what might be called a return on investment (39 games, 10 goals).
In 2002, the return of Luis Fernandez as coach does not really change things in sports performance despite the presence of talented players including Ronaldinho the magician. In an attempt to resolve the debt problem abysmal, Canal + then uses Francis Graille and Vahid Halilhodzic. Despite a drastic reduction in spending by nearly 40%, PSG sign a great 2003-2004 season with a Cup of France and a runner-up in Ligue 1, which opened the doors of the Champions League. Doors that PSG will take heavily on the fingers during the following season. Sport in crisis and at war with their fans, PSG got rid of Coach Vahid and then his ex-friend "Francis Graille recovery plan which the club failed to win the leadership of Canal +. Pierre Blayau was then appointed to find a buyer might be interested in the club. In April 2006, the principal shareholder announced the sale of the GMP to a U.S. investment fund (Colony Capital) with a French investment fund (Butler) and a U.S. bank (Morgan Stanley).
III - Supporters
A-The "People "
The magic power of the GMP is maintained by its exceptional media exposure. This probably because of the relentless pressure that many talented players lose their ways as if by magic by signing with Paris Saint Germain and end up just as mysteriously leaving the club. The media interest is such that the PSG is supported by a whole galaxy of personalities from the entertainment, media, sports and politics which regularly honors with his presence the "trash" the ultimate of rostrum of the Parc des Princes.

Henri Salvador, it provides room for four adults living at Parc des Princes after a lifetime subscription offer for 10,000 francs instead launched under the chairmanship Hechter. But the palm of the VIP stand back no doubt that Frank Sinatra did not hesitate to cancel at the last concert at the Zenith in Paris to attend the match between PSG and Barcelona March 15, 1995.
B-ultras
The proof of the presence of powerful black magic Voldemort in this club is symbolized by the recurring problems with its fringe of his most violent supporters. The infamous Kop Boulogne (Boulogne Kop Of told KOB) was born in 1978 following the creation of a map of "young supporter" cheap giving access to this part of the Parc des Princes, so widely open to opposing fans. This group of supporters are calling upon creation of the British model whose watchwords of the day are punk exuberance, anarchy and violence ... In 1982, the punks are partly replaced by skinheads (often the same, past haircut ...). This forum has seen many racist outbursts and violent incidents even among its own members with the proponents of one side the British school and the other followers of the Italian school. In 1991, the pay channel that wants to end the violence of this forum opens the forum for "Auteuil" in the Italian ultras. Since 2005 many violent clashes opposed the Tigris Auteuil (mostly from the suburbs of Paris) to the "Independents" from Boulogne (nationalist extreme right). Gratuitous violence and hate the stupidity of these pseudo fans eventually led to the tragic death of one of their post-match UEFA Cup PSG-Tel Aviv 23 November 2006. In attempting to attack an Israeli club supporter and black policeman who was trying to protect an aggressive crowd shouting anti-Semitic and racist abuse of a regular forum Boulogne was killed and another was wounded by a bullet fired by the police (in self-defense in court).
IV - The legendary coach
A-The size
In 1995, Luis Fernandez, a former champion of France as a player with PSG in 1986, made his return at the Parc des Princes this times as' coach. His first season was a success. He won the Coupe de France, finished third in the championship and makes a great epic in the Champions League (including Barça cons of Johan Cruyff) signed an elimination against AC Milan in the semifinals. In 1996, Luis won the Cup Winners Cup against Rapid Vienna and at the same time becoming the first French coach of the victorious European Cup with a French club.
B-decay
Four years later, after an interlude in the Basque Athletic Bilbao, Fernandez is back in Paris. For two and a half seasons, and despite leading players like Okocha, Anelka and Ronaldinho, who was expected by the Parc des Princes as the messiah will not get the results live up to its previous passage. As Dumbledore said, "the magic formula effective one day is not necessarily one that will be the next ...».
IV - The iconic player
A - The day
Although the Brazilian Raimundo Souza Vieira de Oliveira (known as Rai) remains in the hearts of fans in Paris as a player and a captain of exceptional talent, c ' is his compatriot Ronaldinho remains the most magical player who one day wore the jersey of the GMP. Its fast, its inventiveness and exceptional technique enabled him to invent a new gesture in every game and score goals fabulous whether on kicks or at fantastic rides through opposing defenses. 2002 world champion with Brazil and the Ballon d'Or 2005, it is now considered the greatest dribbler of all time. In 2004, he left PSG for FC Barcelona for 30 million Euros.
B-Night
However like many other talented players before him was a little burned Ronaldihno lugs profit more than reason many opportunities for nightlife in the city light. These numerous misconduct affected largely consistent performance and have undoubtedly prevented from enriching few extra lines on the club charts. Luiz Fernandez was even forced to leave several times on the bench to try to resist the siren song of the captivating Parisian nightclubs.
V - The historic match
A - regulation time
On 18 March 1993, PSG is playing in the quarter-final second leg of the UEFA Cup against Real Madrid after losing the first leg 3 goals to 1 in Santiago Bernabeu. Holders Paris this evening are: Lama, Ricardo, Le Guen, Sassus, Kombouare, Guerin, Colleter, Valdo, Ginola, WHEA, Simba. From the 33rd minute, George Weah back victoriously to head a corner of Waldo. 1-0. The game is launched. The Parc des Princes is boiling. Throughout the match the Parisians grow but can not find the fault. Until the 81st minute. David Ginola, who is nicknamed "El Magnifico" by the press and Portugal to end the game, doubled the finding and action carried out efficiently by Valdo, Weah and Bravo. His shot has no chance to goalkeeper Buyo Madrid. (2-0). There are a few minutes for men in the capital for the 3rd goal inscire documentation of qualification. This will be done in the 89th minute when Valdo makes a superb feint shot that leaves behind a defender Madrid and adjusts Buyo. (3-0).
B-Additional time
In the 92nd minute twist. So we thought the qualification gained, the park celebrated the qualification, Real reduced the mark by Ivan Zamorano on a free kick off center. The qualification is challenged by the English view that allows to hang the extension. The disillusionment of Parisians have conceded that goal murderer of Chilean Zamorano in stoppage time is enormous, but all is not lost ... In the 96th minute, Mr. Puhl the match referee who does not yet seem to want to whistle the end of the match to give PSG a free kick 25 meters from the goal of Real. This is the free-kick the last chance before overtime. Brazilian Valdo is the head of Antoine Kombouare who deceives the English goalkeeper a headbutt exceptional. PSG qualifies for the semi-finals after a late winner crazy and magical entrance from the legendary French football club.
Conclusion
Considering all the evidence presented above we can only answer yes to the question of whether or not Paris is magical. But if the white magic has long prevailed over black magic, for ten years, the influence of the followers of Voldemort, which tends to take over. Demonstrates, the inconstancy of the results, the recurring problems of fan violence and the ongoing legal cases concerning fraud committed by tax and social club for transfers of players between 1998 and 2003. Alain Cayzac, the new president of PSG, historical shareholder and board member of the club since the late 1980's mission is to solve all these problems. To achieve this rather ambitious, he wanted from the start based on the glorious past of the club. Therefore, one of his first acts as president was to appoint Ambassador Raí PSG in Latin America, demonstrating to fans its commitment and respect for the club's history. In early 2007, is still to a "historic" the big time in the person of Paul Le Guen he turned to succeed in saving the PSG announced a relegation to Ligue 2. At the offseason recruiting, PSG did not, contrary to his custom, recruited big names but rather invested in the long term by signing promising young players like Gregory Bourillon (Rennes), Zoumana Camara (Saint- Etienne), Didier Digard (Le Havre) and incorporating even more players from his own training center which Chantôme Clement, David Ngog and Granddi Ngoyi. For now, the new sports policy geared towards youth at the expense of aging stars (Yepes, Gallardo, Pauleta) does not prevent a new MTP start of the season winded. Nevertheless, one can legitimately expect, given the current level of play in Paris, this new Paris on the future winner and he will soon allow the PSG soon find all the power of the white magic of yesteryear.
