Holder of a Master's degree in sports journalism, I fell in love with tennis since childhood and have always loved reading the great stories of this sport. Today, I want to tell them about them, take full advantage of my passion and be as close as possible to the aces of the circuit.
Last summer, French football experienced a crisis due to broadcasting which raised many questions. Debates around the level in Ligue 1 have also resurfaced since the shocking declarations of Cristiano Ronaldo. At a press conference before resuming the championship, Roberto De Zerbi insisted on defending the French championship.
By succeeding in taking back the reins of theABOUT with such success last summer, Roberto DeZerbi was able to impose his style of play to compete with the best teams in Ligue 1. The club is in second place behind PSG, which has already taken a significant lead. In recent months, interest in Ligue 1 has declined a little and criticism is coming abroad. An incomprehensible situation in the eyes of the Italian coach.
De Zerbi defends Ligue 1
A few days ago, Cristiano Ronaldo did not hesitate to tackle the level of the Ligue 1a championship abandoned by many supporters in France. Abroad, it is therefore more difficult to take an interest in it. “It’s a championship that is stronger than what people outside of France might think. But this championship is surely poorly sold by the people who manage it. Because Ligue 1, outside of France, has a reputation as a low-level championship. While that is not at all the case, there are very strong players and very strong coaches, there are full stadiums and very warm atmospheres. But perhaps this championship is sold poorly, sold less well than the Premier League which is the best championship in Europe or the Serie A or the La Liga or the Bundesliga. I don’t know if it’s a management problem or a communication problem abroad” declared Roberto DeZerbi at a press conference.
” It's a shame “
Even if the PSG is well above the rest of the board since the start of the QSI era, the Ligue 1 remains a very interesting championship for Roberto DeZerbi. “In Italy, for example, no one sees OM matches because the French championship is not broadcast. And it's a shame because there are very strong players who are then transferred to the Premier League, to Germany or to other championships when they could stay in France. There are very strong coaches who then leave. France is a country that loves football so it’s a shame that it’s not appreciated from the outside at its true value” he continues.
