“What makes people angry, beyond the price, is the service that will be offered” by DAZN, assures Kevin Nieto, football analyst

To watch the Ligue 1 football championship matches, which start on Friday evening, August 16, you will now have to pay up to 45 euros on the DAZN platform. The British platform will broadcast its first match, Le Havre-PSG, at 8:45 p.m. “I think what angers a lot of people, beyond the price, is really the service that will be offered.”assures Kevin Nieto, football analyst, on franceinfo on Friday August 16.

“There will no longer be a multiplex, for example, on Sundays. There will be far fewer consultants for more than two thirds of the matches”The 15 euro subscription formula does not convince him either: “It’s a subscription with only one match to watch and we won’t be able to choose which match we’re going to watch”.

Kevin Nieto is therefore angry with the streaming platform DAZN, but not only that. “The League sold its rights at the last minute by overestimating them beforehand. I think that there are those responsible: the League, its managers and the broadcaster.”.

He therefore fears that the supporters will not turn up, causing DAZN’s revenues to fall, and it could eventually abandon broadcasting matches, like Mediapro in 2020. “They have the possibility at some point to withdraw, not because they no longer have the means, but because they will not be profitable. And from there, it is not the same thing”.
