Laurent Tapie’s rant about the Netflix series dedicated to his father
Guest of Rothen ignites on RMC this Wednesday, Laurent Tapie spoke about the series “Tapie”, online since this Wednesday on Netflix. The opportunity for the son of the former president of OM to make a few rants.
“It’s a fiction. That’s what I find unfortunate, because my father’s life was so rich that why go and invent stories when there was plenty of material to make this high-quality episode in reality alone?” , lamented Laurent Tapie.
“The football part? Pfff… It’s not great. Again, there were plenty of situations or anecdotes that were good. The pre-match speech isn’t really what I liked seen in reality, it’s a bit cliché. Besides, my father didn’t really believe in group speeches. He was individual and that’s not translated in the series.”
“People who don’t know football will watch the series and say ‘oh look, you saw what he does’… Why was he destabilizing or things like that? Because we experienced it to our detriment too! When he lost in the semi-finals against Benfica with a handball goal, the whole stadium saw it and he said “I understand…”
PSG: Mbappé’s message for Verratti after his departure
“An exceptional player and person. Having the privilege of being by your side all these years has been an immense pleasure. Your time here will never be forgotten or neglected. One of the best players I have seen . THANK YOU my friend, I will miss you a lot”, wrote Kylian Mbappé in an Instagram story, a few minutes after Marco Verratti’s departure was made official.
Mbappé’s state of health does not cause any concern, he should play well PSG-Dortmund
The absence of Kylian Mbappé on Tuesday evening for Germany-France (he remained on the bench) was mainly due to the sequence of matches to come on the PSG side, with the reception of Nice on Friday in Ligue 1 and the reception of Dortmund on Tuesday in Champions League. An exchange on this subject took place before the meeting between the captain and the Blues staff.
Mbappé’s state of health does not cause any concern. He will play against the German club next week, unless his knee discomfort worsens, but that is not the trend at all. He could even hold his place against Nice. On Tuesday, he warmed up before the match quite normally. Kylian Mbappé is expected this afternoon at the PSG Campus in Poissy where the majority of players should remain indoors.

Lorient: Benjamin Mendy applies for a place in the group
The return is approaching. Since August 15, 2021, and a Manchester City match against Tottenham, Benjamin Mendy has not returned to a professional pitch during an official match. This absence from the field should end this weekend. Recruited this summer by Lorient, the former Manchester City player is applying for a place in the group this weekend. He has been training completely normally with the entire Merlus group since the start of the international break.
The deadline was finally met: after the signing of the former Monegasque Régis Le Bris had mentioned a preparation of 6 to 8 weeks to put him back on the road to the high level. The defender could therefore be visible again against Monaco this weekend in Ligue 1 (Sunday 1 p.m.). A comeback with a player who has also adapted perfectly to the atmosphere of the Breton club.
