French football is going through a deep crisis according to Pablo Longoria. Invited on France Inter on Monday morning, the president of Olympique de Marseille sounded the alarm. In an analysis, the Spanish leader points to the problems which, according to him, prevent football from developing in France.
Pablo Longoria denounces important structural problems and a lack of long -term vision: “ French football has a big difficulty and must rebuild itself completely. Football, in general, lacks transparency, dialogue, strategic discussions and I believe that the short-term vision that French football is a big historic limit. »»
For the president of the Club of the Marseille city, the crisis in the world of French football is not limited to sporting or financial aspects but by a question of governance and a lack of dialogue. “” Taking an individualistic position or trying to control all movements, without dialogue, is something difficult to accept. As long as there is no dialogue and collective construction, there is a void, which is occupied by who wants to occupy this type of vacuum “He said.
Longoria ” not represented »By al-Khelaïfi
During the interview, Pablo Longoria did not hesitate to point the finger at the president of Paris Saint-Germain, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, member of the Board of Directors of the LFP. He believes that the Parisian president embodies a model that favors the interests of PSG to the detriment of collective interest: “ I do not feel represented by Nasser Al-Khelaïfi and French football responds to interests that keep us away from our supporters, and it is one of the reasons for the fundamental crisis in French football. »»
“Paris Saint-Germain plays the game of football policy very well at all different levels”,
he adds. Declarations that will surely do not please the Parisian president.
