The Lille defender has expressed his delight at the arrival of several top-class players at Parc des Princes as he feels that it will make football in the country more attractive
The 29-year-old is unfazed by PSG’s transfer activity this summer and believes that it will benefit Ligue 1 as a whole.
Paris Saint-Germain have spent heavily in the transfer market this summer and have acquired the services of several top-brass players. After securing the signature of highly-rated Argentinean http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003, the cash-laden club went on to sign
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029 from Serie A side AC Milan.
Carlo Ancelotti’s men are the clear favourites to win Championelle with ease next season after narrowly missing out on it last time around. However, not everyone believes that the arrival of star players will guarantee PSG success in the next Ligue 1 campaign.
Lille defender, Franck Beria has admitted that the arrivals of players like Lavezzi, Silva and Ibrahimovic have made PSG a dangerous team in France but denied that Carlo Ancelotti’s side will be clear favourites next season.
The Frenchman feels that the latest acquisition by the capital club will not only help Les Parisiens but it will also benefit Ligue 1 as a whole.
Beria claimed that now Ligue has become more competitive and attractive and people who call French football boring should stop saying that.
"I think that it's super," he told reporters. "It's very good for the championship. This will contradict those who think that Ligue 1 is boring.”
The former FC Metz player stated that people are still unaware of the French football and such high-profile arrivals will help promote the image of the country. Beria said that it’s just a start; more big-name players will soon come to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899.
"I think that it will be more attractive here. Taking aside the financial aspects, I don't think that players are completely crazy [for joining].”
"They don't want to come to a championship to be bored. They're here to do something."
Franck Beria, who saw his side finish third in the Ligue 1 last season, would be hoping for much improved performance from his team-mates this time.
LOSC Lille will face AS Saint-Etienne on August 11 in their first match of the 2012/2013 Ligue 1 campaign.
