From rugby to cinema, Philippe Guillard continues to bring the common point of his two careers to life: passion. And this love, the director also has it for PSG, recently crowned European champion. Guest of “100% Foot – Farid & Co”, a program offered on Instagram by Farid Rouas, Philippe Guillard dissects what made PSG success this season. By being inspired by the English spirit, Paris walked over everyone: “This season, we saw Parisian players playing with the commitment, the pressing and the fighting spirit that we find in the Premier League. And in addition to that, they have kept a game base in the Spanish, structured and technical. This mixture has borne fruit, especially in front of English clubs. It is no coincidence that they were able to beat them: they faced them on their own land, the intensity and dominated them. As for Ligue 1, they flew over it. We cannot conclude that the championship has progressed as a whole: it is PSG which changed its dimension, not the others. They have been reaching the quarters for years, half, a final. This is not new. But this time, they added what they were missing: the rigor, the intensity, the collective ”. A state of mind to display now during the World Cup!
