On this show, Alex is speaking with Peer Naubert, Chief Marketing Officer for Bundesliga International. Alex and Peer discuss how the Bundesliga grows its fanbase abroad and how in an age of player-focused fans, competitions can strike a balance between bringing fans in through star players but not being left high and dry when those stars move on.
