In England, we are not kidding with football, until the British royal family. A fervent supporter of Aston Villa, Prince William does not hide his passion for the Birmingham club, opposed to Paris Saint-Germain in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. The heir to the English throne was also present among the multiple stars who usually garnish the basket of the Parc des Princes. He had taken his son George, 12 years old, to fully live this historic page of his father's favorite club, almost 43 years after the last great epic of the Villans in the European Cup in 1982.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“I wanted George to live an outside match in a European competition. I hope that we should not wait again 43 years, but these are significant memories and have it with me a lot”<\/i>said Kate Middleton's husband at the microphone of TNT Sports before the match in Paris. But then, why does a person as important as a prince support a less prestigious team, in a country where Manchester United, Chelsea or Liverpool are the most followed? Well, the answer is in the question.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Spirit of contradiction<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n
By pure spirit of contradiction, the prince set his sights on a team ofunderdogs,<\/i> As they say across the Channel. “When I was in school, I got passionate about football and I was looking for a club to bear,<\/i> He explained to the BBC in 2015. All my friends were either for Manchester United, or for Chelsea and I didn't want to follow the movement. I wanted to endure a team that was more in the soft belly and that could give me feelings in the shape of roller coaster. ” <\/i>Thanks to one of his friends supporting Aston Villa, he was introduced to the passion of the Birmingham club, with success.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
“Favorite, PSG? We have the impression that this is his moment”<\/p>\n

\n
He attended a villa match for the first time in 2000, in Bolton, FA Cup and it is the revelation. “The atmosphere, the camaraderie … I really felt that I could identify myself with that”<\/i>remembered William. From the status of a simple supporter, he went to a high -ranking follower who has the right to the favors of the Villans, to live from the inside the adventures of his favorite club. At the park, we saw him bringing an acoch of all the players at the entrance to the locker room during their warm -up. He also remembers having been impressed by Unai Emery, during training.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Admir of Emery<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n
“He placed the players on the field to the nearest centimeter. I said to myself: 'He is a man who pays attention to the small details'”<\/i>. But despite that, he does not have all the rights and the Spaniard is inflexible in the face of the prince's indiscreet demands. “When I have the rare opportunity to chat with him, I try to extract information from him, but it is very reserved”<\/i>he explains. The Windsor also has a great admiration for the Basque coach. “I think most of Aston Villa fans agree with me, but we are so happy and lucky to have a manager of his quality.”<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
During the meeting in the park, the prince and his son lived the meeting intensely. They notably exulted on the opening of Morgan Rogers' score in the first half, before undergoing the law of Luis Enrique players. However, William was in the best disposition. “I wear all my favorite clothes and I did all my rituals, I hope it will bring us luck<\/i>“It was not really the case. The English are now condemned to the feat to continue their journey in the Champions League. Which would give William the greatest pleasure and finally a little high. After all, even when we support an outsider, we also have the right to vibrate a little.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
