For several years, the diffusers have followed one another on the side of Ligue 1. after the Media Pro crash, it was Amazon Prime then Dazn who took the hand. In the midst of all this, Canal+ had also participated in the rescue mission. But the history and the icy relationships between the direction of the encrypted chain and the boss of the LFP, Vincent Labrune, did not allow a more serious rapprochement. In recent weeks, however, there has been a change and Canal+ has made two offers to distribute the 100% Ligue 1 channels on which the League is working. What cause a number of reactions.
If many observers have welcomed such global warming between Canal and LFP, others have been much more measured, even annoyed. Consultant for the team, Raymond Domenech has castigated Canal+behavior. “There is something that bothers me in this story is that Canal, you have the impression that it is an extraordinary thing. They let die for a while. »»
And the former companion of Estelle Denis to continue with force:
“We still forget at the start that it was football that launched Canal. The level of canal has left with football. They had great ideas, but I'm talking about departure. »» Whoever was coach of the French team then returned to what he criticizes the audiovisual group. “The last three years, they have let them die kindly. And there they will recover them with the rope around the neck saying to them: 'That's it and if you're not happy, it's the same. Continue to die gently '. »»
The chain of the league leaded by Canal+?
An opinion decided as often with the former defender of Olympique Lyonnais who brought a last touch to him.
“Their story of saying, we want a match on Sunday evening on Canal. They weigh the league channel. Knowing that all the big games will be on Sunday evening on Canal, who will take (the subscription for the League channel)? There will be a brake. The guys will say, we will not yet subscribe to the League chain where there will only be the League matches. »»
For Raymond Domenech, the choice of channel subscribers will therefore be clear. “When people who have channel at the moment you are watching, they will not take the league channel. They don't care. They will keep the match on Sunday evening, they will have all the European Cup matches and that will be enough for them. »»
