The media featured quotes from former Barcelona and Spain national team center-back Gerard Pique.
Retired defender claimed that football is no longer as appealing nowadays. It's simply too many matches.
To "The Times" newspaper G. Pique said: "Football now competes with Netflix, Amazon, YouTube, TikTok. Everyone has limited time."
Football for 90 minutes is no longer as enjoyable. Do I watch football for the full 90 minutes? Realistically, no. I watch Barcelona for some time, but not the full 90 minutes. Maybe just 30 or 40 minutes.
Yesterday I used virtual reality glasses. I put them on, I was in pajamas at home, about to go to bed soon, watched all NBA games as if I was on the court. I was there. Every year this product gets better.
We need to understand where football is heading, where the entertainment world is heading, we need to mix it up so people can still be attached to football."
