Pablo Longoria is everywhere. The president of OM was more than active during the last transfer window by allowing his new coach Roberto De Zerbi to have twelve recruits for a championship which is full of talent in his eyes although it is not broadcast in his native Spain. An error according to him who defended Ligue 1 body and soul in an interview for El Pais.
The Ligue 1 has lost some big headliners over the years. Whether at PSG or to loon, Lionel Messi, Neymar, Sergio Ramos, Kylian Mbappé, Alexis Sanchez or even Pierre–Emerick Aubameyang are all gone. Without forgetting the Aurélien Tchouaméni et Eduardo Camavinga. As a result, the television rights of the French football elite are no longer as attractive for broadcasters both in France and abroad.
“You have to experience Ligue 1 to understand it.”
Moreover, on the other side of the Pyrenees, the Ligue 1 has no broadcaster on Spanish television. A disappointment for Pablo Longoria. The Spanish president of Olympique de Marseille spoke with He Pais of this sad reality while defending the level of a championship underestimated abroad. “The tactical level has increased enormously in recent years and the quality of the spectacle is higher than that of other championships in Europe. You have to experience Ligue 1 to understand it.”
“The freedom that the player has to be able to attempt a certain type of action allows this talent to explode”
The Ligue 1 is often nicknamed the League of Talents in view of the young gems who emerge and are recruited by foreign clubs. Enough to liven up the transfer window periods of French clubs. President of loon since February 2021, Pablo Longoria provided his explanation for this phenomenon. “The system allows neighborhood football to be an integral part of training. The freedom that the player has to be able to attempt a certain type of action allows this talent to explode more than in countries like Spain, where everything is structured around the game.” confided Longoria in comments reported by Foot Market.
