In an intervention on the show “Late Football Club” broadcast on CANAL+ this Friday, journalist Philippe Carayon expressed his support for Marc Keller, following the protest expressed by a banner during the Racing Club match in Strasbourg. This polemic, widely relayed by the sports media, was the subject of a thorough analysis by the journalist. CANAL+ joined the discussion, addressing the complex situation surrounding the Alsatian club and the reactions of supporters, including part of the Ultra Boys 90.

Philippe Carayon strongly criticized supporters who expressed their dissatisfaction with Marc Keller, calling them ungrateful and stressing the importance of the unique link between the club and its supporters. He highlighted Keller’s commitment to the friendliness and openness of the club, citing the privileged access of fans to the compound and the exceptional opening hours. The journalist insisted on Keller’s popularity, both within the city of Strasbourg and at the stadium, and stressed the rejection he suffered from a part of the public in the last games.

Carayon recognized the political dimension of the supporters’ struggle, including their opposition to multi-ownership, while stressing the relevance of recognizing and appreciating Marc Keller’s work. He claimed that the ultras are less legitimate than Keller in terms of the identity of the Racing, and denounced the fact that the fans are now dispossessed by the rest of the stadium when they try to pick up the songs after the strike. In short, the journalist pleaded for recognition of Keller’s value and for questioning how the supporters expressed their disagreement.
