Pierre Ménès and Daniel Riolo violently tackled Vincent Labrune, the president of the LFP, after his lunar interview in L’Equipe.
“No one could have done better.” In an interview with The TeamVincent Labrune defends as best he can his record at the head of the Professional Football League, particularly on the issue of TV rights. An outing that comes two weeks before the general assembly, which will have to decide on the identity of the next president of the LFP.
According to him, therefore, “No one could have pushed the market to the limits like we did”raising 500 million euros thanks to DAZN and beIN Sports.
Those who claim that they could have done better are either storytellers or fortune tellers. Nobody could have done better. All sports rights are falling in Europe.”
Labrune “sinks as soon as he speaks…”
An interview described as “lunar” by many observers, who deplore the treatment of Ligue 1 since DAZN began broadcasting eight matches per day. “Incredible interview with Labrune in L’Equipe. Basically, to sum up, he did everything well, it’s all thanks to him and people are wrong to complain.”chokes Pierre Ménès on X (ex-Twitter).
“He’s selling himself a lot better than he sold his championship. And the presidents are going to swallow that?”continues the former consultant of the Canal Football Club. The same goes for Daniel Riolo, who also sends Vincent Labrune to the ropes. “The interview with the LFP president in L’Equipe is absolutely mind-blowing…” says the RMC Sport editorialist.
And to continue: “How can Ligue 1 presidents still support him? It makes no sense. He finally spoke to defend himself but he sinks as soon as he speaks…” We will have to wait until September 10 to find out whether club presidents, particularly those in the elite, will renew their confidence in Vincent Labrune, who will not be the only candidate.
