President of the Professional Football League, Vincent Labrune recently returned to the news of television rights, particularly encouraging DAZN in its development.
The president of the Professional Football League, Vincent Labrune, declared his wish “the success of DAZN at all costs” during an interview with the media The Parisian broadcast at the beginning of December. He wanted to defend the first months of a new player within the French football environment.
The British platform, however, suffers the wrath of French football supporters. A disenchantment which is reflected in figures, that of 500,000 subscribers released during the fall by The Team : “I won’t give you a number. I can only tell you that they did not live up to their predictions, retorted Vincent Labrune for his part, refusing to specifically mention this subject. They achieved the feat of launching a product in less than two weeks without any bugs or black screens,” he congratulated.
He still conceded that the initial price had not been the most appropriate: “After all, yes, they may have made a mistake by hitting the prices a little hard at the start. But we all learn as we go. We are fully behind themrecognizes the one who fights firmly with piracy. This is his number 1 enemy: The explosion of piracy! Out of three people who watch Ligue 1, only one pays at the moment. It’s extremely serious. It is the most pirated product in France. We need radical decisions,” he got annoyed.
He closed his speech by turning to European football: “We cannot compare Italy, Spain, Germany, England which have a strong football culture with France. To summarize, we discovered football in 1998. But I believe that there is a fair price which probably seems to me a little higher than what we have today (€19.99). […] All our revenue centers are growing strongly, except domestic TV rights. »
