    Russia has the world’s largest reserves of natural gas, and most of it is controlled by the state-owned company Gazprom. But Gazprom has also built a global profile as a soccer sponsor. Good publicity for Gazprom means good publicity for Russia; since Gazprom is owned by the Russian state, domestic approval for the foreign energy provider can help build a reputation for Russia in places that might otherwise be wary of their creeping influence. And as Vladimir Putin pursues that influence abroad, building relationships with foreign business leaders using the sport of soccer has proven extremely useful.
    One place where that's been especially true is in Germany, where the team FC Schalke 04 has a longstanding sponsorship deal with Gazprom. When the deal was first signed in 2006, Russia was vying to increase their presence in the Western European gas market. Over a decade later, Gazprom sponsors one of Germany’s most popular soccer teams, and is about to open their second major direct pipeline from Russia to Germany.
    A previous version of this video misidentified Switzerland on a map. The error has been corrected.

    "It's on sidelines in Italy", isn't it? No, Italian football and Italian teams aren't sponsored by Gazprom. That picture shows SSC Napoli's striker Arkadiusz Milik. SSC Napoli is an Italian team but during Serie A games you cannot see those sidelines. This picture was taken on 10th December (Napoli-Genk 4-0, hat trick for Milik) because it was the only match-day he managed to score during this Champions League campaign until now. In fact, Gazprom is Champions League's official sponsor, just like other trademarks, such as Heineken and Mastercard. In the same way, you can't find Mastercard and Heineken watching an Italian championship game. The phrase "It's on sidelines in Italy", generally speaking, implies that we're talking about Serie A and not only Champions League games played in Italy (Champions League sponsors are shown everywhere, also in Cyprus or Azerbaijan if teams like Apoel or Qarabag are qualified for the tournament).
    This is just an example of how approximately this video was made.

    5:45 while you’re technically not wrong, in football a “championship” is usually referring to a league title. A better phrasing would be to say in 2011 Schalke won a trophy/a cup(the DFB Pokal in this case). Borussia Dortmund are the ones who won the championship(league title) that year.

      @blanco7726 4 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Rob because American Football is a variant of Rugby Football (now just called rugby). Both rugby and soccer were called “football” before the creation of their respective official rules, since they both involved kicking a ball with feet back then (but also carrying the ball with hands). Sometime in the mid 1800s, an official Football association (FA) was created, which made it illegal to carry the ball in your hands and to tackle your opponent. Thus “association football” (soccer) was created, which followed the rules of the FA and rugby football which stayed closer to the original rules. Eventually rugby football spread to the US and they changed the rules a bit and created their own sport “american football”.

      Today I learned that the Germans say "to give gas" (literal translation) to mean "to accelerate". I mean, to accelerate a vehicle, you literally have to *give its engine more gas* by pressing the accelerator, which is also called the gas pedal, so it makes sense I guess.

      The „problem“ is that they „forgot“ to mention the idiom, „to accelerate“, so it fits the videos narrative and that shouldn’t be the case. plus there are two more major mistakes in this video that I mentioned in two separated comments which make this video a not good, technically good video, in comparison to what we are used to get from Vox. :-(

      Tbf, they outlined the crucial difference in the video. American companies sponsor the teams because they're selling products directly to football viewers. That's quite different from a company owned by a sovereign state selling to other sovereign states, and using the sponsorships to gain favour with the football viewers. Especially when the sovereign state that owns the company is autocratic.

    5:43 That translation is very inaccurate, "We are giving gas to Schalke" is not what the German phrase says.
    "Wir geben Gas auf Schalke" cannot be translated literally because it is an idiom. It means something like "We are turning things up in Schalke". Of course it is a play on words related to gas but it should not just be translated like that.

    As a fan of FOOTBALL I have never associated with the brand deal my team has signed with and certainly would not consider Barcelona vs PSG a battle between Qatar Airways and Fly Emirates. The sponsors are vital for teams to compete in such an expensive football environment but are usually nothing more than a source of income. The irony of Americans commenting on how sponsors are tarnishing football team's reputations when you cannot watch a game of American Football without an advertisement break shoving pepsi i your face every second minuet.
