Football is dying. This is the painful observation made by Pierre Ménès who, Monday on his YouTube channel, presented his wishes to his subscribers. The opportunity for the former sports journalist to paint a very dark picture of a sport that he likes less and less. “In terms of football, I don’t have much optimistic to say because, quite frankly, I find that our sport is in dangerhe explains. In danger of uniformity because today there are very few teams that offer an attractive and different game. »
“We see that clubs which rely largely on possession like Manchester City or PSG are in great difficulty, at least in the Champions Leaguecontinues the ex-sniper of Channel Football Club.
Overall, I find that this sport that I loved so much has fewer great players, fewer great technicians, fewer inspirations. Less fantasy. It is a sport which today is extraordinarily physical, athletic, which is essentially based on strength and speed. »
Pierre Ménès: “I am worried about this sport that I love so much”
“When you’re like me, having as many matches as possible in a week, I won’t hide the fact that it’s a bit painfulhe adds. I think the pleasure is less and less, week after week and match after match. » And on a French scale, the trend is hardly more pleasing in his eyes. “There too, not much optimismhe regrets. I believe that Vincent Labrune’s management of the League is a disaster. The finances of French football are at a standstill. »
And Pierre Ménès announced the end between DAZN and Ligue 1:
“We have a broadcaster that is barely a third of its ambitions in terms of subscribers. And since he has an exit clause after two seasons, I don’t see how he could continue beyond that. » Generally speaking, the consultant believes that “football must be vigilant about its future because there are worrying signs”the addition of the Club World Cup to the calendar does not help matters. “I am worried about this sport that I love so much. »
