A well-known consultant from the show L’Équipe du Soir did not hesitate to let go. Excerpts.
It’s an annual survey that never goes unnoticed. Last week, the newspaper L'Équipe revealed the salaries of Ligue 1 players. Players and coaches were scrutinized by the French media. And if Kylian Mbappé crushes everyone without surprise, the situations of certain footballers concern the general public.
This is particularly the case of Brestois Pierre Lees-Melou. Considered the strong link in a team which outperforms in the championship (second behind Paris Saint-Germain), the former Dijon player emerges at a monthly salary of 80,000 euros.
“Brest without Lees-Melou it’s porn without Rocco Siffredi”
Many observers consider that Pierre Lees-Melou would be the player offering the best value for money in Ligue 1 this season. In the program L'Équipe du Soir, consultant Eric Blanc didn't beat around the bush.
“ Brest without Lees-Melou is porn without Rocco Siffredi, he blurted out. It's a Canada Dry. It's not the same result. They are second, he is there. So of course he only has 4 goals, 0 assists, he plays a little lower. And today I'm not sure that Brest would be second. People talk to me about PSG players but they would play without Mbappé and they would still be champions, perhaps with fewer points…“, concluded the former rugby player.
