12 hours :
At midday, the multicolored curtains of the Divette de Montmartre open. Serge Vial, owner of the establishment, sets up his small terrace on the sidewalk of 18e district of Paris. A bar like no other, which can be described as a mini Cauldron. At each game of the Greens, Saint-Etienne supporters meet there. But not everyone seems to be aware of what this troquet represents. “Am I showing the game tonight?” I have a hard time with silly questions, “laughs” Sergio “, who has no tongue in his pocket, answering the phone.
“Let them go and support PSG! “
This Friday night, on the occasion of the Coupe de France final against ASSE and PSG, there will be a lot of people. Obviously less than in 2013 in the winning League Cup final against Rennes, where the beer stocks ran out at 9 p.m. “I’m going to put a TV up against the window inside so people can watch the game from outside. We will have to manage the crowds, “warns the boss.
Many people plan to go to the Divette de Montmartre tomorrow evening to watch the final. Many media are announcing a strong presence on site. Access will be severely limited indoors, Covid requires. However, Serge will put a screen outside. #PSGASSE

If the final had taken place in April, as initially planned, Serge Vial had asked to block the street to prohibit the circulation of cars. Due to Covid-19, this will obviously not be possible. Regardless, for his 35th year at the helm of “Green HQ” he was absolutely determined to open. “I had to close for three weeks. In the end, I only took a fortnight’s vacation. I have a hard core that comes here, I just couldn’t give it up. There are also supporters from other clubs who come just to see the atmosphere. “
The regulars – but not only – will be there this Friday evening to cheer on Claude Puel’s men and lead them to the title. Despite the abysmal gap between Ligériens and Parisians, Serge Vial refuses to leave beaten in advance. “Everything is possible in a match. When you are a supporter, you are not pessimistic. And then, PSG means “Take Six Goals (goals)”, so we can give them too! I hear people say that we have already lost. Let them go and support PSG then! “At the Divette de Montmartre, it’s not really the kind of house.
