“Do your homework before speaking”: Alonzo furious over PSG’s history | OneFootball

Former Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Jérôme Alonzo, 53, forcefully revisited a refrain that still annoys him just as much. In a clip shared from the Aliotalk YouTube channel, the former Paris keeper refuses to let the club’s entire past be erased just to focus on the QSI takeover in 2011.

Alonzo: “I can’t stand people reducing PSG’s history to QSI. It’s deeply unfair and false.”

Alonzo’s outburst hits the mark because it targets a lazy shortcut. Yes, QSI changed the scale of Paris Saint-Germain, but no, the club was not magically born in 2011. Long before that turning point, Paris already had a place in French football, having been founded in 1970, winning two French league titles before the Qatari era, and above all lifting a European trophy in 1996.

That is precisely what his remarks put back at the center: Parisian history did not begin with huge checks; it is also built on eras, iconic players, and trophies that established the club in French football long before the takeover.

At heart, Alonzo is not just defending his PSG years. He is rejecting a convenient but false reading, the one that reduces the entire club to its change of ownership, even though its identity was built long before that, through both success and popularity.
