Nasser Al-Khelaïfi - Hasan Bratic / SIPA

Nasser Al-Khelaïfi emerges from the shadows. In the front line of negotiations on the hypothetical resumption of Ligue 1 as well as the payment of TV rights, the president of Paris Saint-Germain delivers his vision of the coronavirus crisis out of an interview in RMC Sport. And urges to stop "selfish behavior".

"We must learn from this crisis together to come out stronger for the future of football in France," says the boss of PSG. We must all be united […]. There, there are no big, medium or small clubs as I can sometimes hear where we want to oppose us instead of meeting. Only together can we win. "

On negotiations with broadcasters relating to the payment of TV rights, Al-Khelaïfi admits that he did not choose to go to coal alone but says he acts in the interest of French football. “If I had only thought of my personal interest, I would have refused […]. So, after having discussed it with the other club presidents as well as with Maxime Saada, the president of the board of directors of Canal +, I decided to integrate these negotiations. We all know what is at stake. "Namely, the sustainability of certain elite and Ligue 2 clubs." No club deserves to disappear, especially since no one, no more in the sports world than elsewhere, had really anticipated the serious problems that we suffer today. "

Finally, on the issue of salaries for Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 players, Al-Khelaïfi was very clear: “I expect an effort from them for their club. They know their responsibilities. "
