The best ambassadors of Ligue 1 are foreigners.
The comments made by Cristiano Ronaldo on the French championship during the Global Soccer Awards continue to provoke reactions. At a press conference, Roberto De Zerbi was raised on the subject this Friday, and the OM coach was keen to defend an L1 that he is discovering this season.
“It’s a championship that is stronger than people think outsideterior of Francehe explained in comments reported by RMC Sport. But it is surely being mis-sold by the people who manage it. Outside, Ligue 1 has the reputation of a low-level championship, when that is not the case at all. »
A poorly sold Ligue 1 product
Thanks to his various experiences as a coach in England, Italy or Ukraine, De Zerbi has a certain experience, and therefore legitimacy to give his opinion on the Ligain “product”. “There are playersis strong, from the entranceîneurs pvery strong, full stadiums and very atmospheresvery hot. But maybebe that this championship is poorly sold, less well than the Premier League, Serie A or La Liga, he continued. In Italy, for example, matches of the'OM, no one sees them because the French championshipit's not diffuseand. »
As Serie A fans in France could not enjoy watching the Italian championship until the end of October, some will say. De Zerbi did not stop there: “There are very strong players who leave for the Premier League or Germany, while they could stay in France. There are very strong coaches who then leave. »
Hoping for OM fans that this is not a subliminal message.
