Premier League is set to take some measures to improve the matchday coverage in the upcoming weeks. The top Football league is set to include three creative additions like interviews for players who are subbed off, Half-time interview with player or coach, and the Dressing room broadcasts. The fans claimed these were things which hardly made any impact on broadcasting.
The three changes are something some sect of the fans and experts wanted to see. Interviewing the players who are subbed off could mean that the experts could get a better view on the game. Hence, there might have been an attempt made from the officials to capture a player's perspective of a game.
Likewise, getting a player or a coach to be in the interview at the half time is appreciated by the experts. Similar to the interview with the subbed offs, it could give the perspective of the individuals who are a part of the game. The difference in this regard is that it would ensure a team's perspective in a game.
Fans dismiss the ideas
The Dressing room broadcasts are something that usually happen every now and then in an unofficial way. The league looks to be up to make it official which could be available for the fans. It might be an attempt to let the fans know of the dressing room atmosphere.
The fans gave a mixed opinion on the report. Most of them claimed that none of it was anything the fans expected from the broadcasting team. They claimed a better way to improve Premier League broadcasting was to either reduce the number of ads or to focus on the streaming quality.
Some fans were critical of taking the interviews of the players who were subbed off midway through a game. They felt it might not be good to interview someone who would be high on emotions being on the pitch. They added that it could be an unprofessional way of treating the players.
Take a look at the reactions of the fans here -
The fans don’t need all this, just go in there, play good football, win your match and come out 🥹

All these are unnecessary tbvh. Half time is meant for players and coaches to assess their game plan, and re-strategize.

Interviewing players who have had a bad game and subbed off would be rough to watch!
