Sunday night announcement about the creation of a European Super League through the twelve founding teams and the well-known reaction of the football organizations of the old continent such as the UEFA and the FIFA He announced his disagreement and possible sanctions for those participating in the mega-project, confirming only that, speaking of boxing, the long-range fight between the two sides has officially begun.
“The battle broke out between the twelve powerful teams in Europe against UEFA and FIFA as an ally. What kind of problems are we in in the football world ”, he said Hernan Pereyra kicks off the first edition of this week’s podcast ‘It is so and it is’“ We are on the verge of a change that could mark a before and after in the course of the history of this sport, leading to changes in even the world championships, ” said the cycle’s driver. to explain that this is what 12 powerful teams from Europe formed with the launch of this new competition.
After explaining how it will be the same, what teams it will include, and the form of dispute of the tournament in question, Pereyra focused on giving his opinion on the subject by saying that “the twelve mighty had been cut off from the rest and formed their own team. competition with this Super League. The three strongest in Spain (Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid and Barcelona), three in Italy (Juventus, Milan and Inter) and six in England (Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea) are the founders they say that they will have 3 guests and 5 teams that will qualify through their own competitions to reach a total of 20, ”he said.
“UEFA is grabbing its head and is desperate as is FIFA,” Pereyra concluded by saying the champion will receive 400 million euros in prize money against the 120 the Champions League champion is currently receiving. FIFA disapproved of this model in a statement saying it favors a fair income redistribution, while UEFA warned it would take both judicial and sporting action to the point that those playing this league will not be able to participate. participate in a league, whether local, European or global and the players participating must not be part of the roster of their respective countries, ”he explained.
“While there are things I like, there are others that I don’t like. Playing every week is like having champions every week. I like that, but it’s complicated from there, because the federations are against it. The appeal of seeing the most powerful in Europe is very strong and only two important teams would be missing, such as Bayern Munich and PSG ”, the host of ‘Es Así y Punto’ considered.
Another problem that Pereyra mentioned in his analysis is the issue of the power that UEFA and FIFA would lose. “In a way, I even enjoy that opportunity because both organizations have acquired so much power over the years that it allows them to manage wealth for their own good, that the leaders, traveling in private jets, stop at five-star hotels with spectacular travel costs. . And what do they give the football player? ”, He stressed
“Something has been done by UEFA and FIFA, whose leaders are treated like kings, to bring the situation to this point,” added Pereyra. “In this way, many leaders have abused their power, so it is good to stop the ball as happened with the FIFA gate. But this problem also has its bad side and it is necessary to make it known ”.
“Now we go to the negative part. If Atlético Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid have more squad today than the rest of LaLiga and will receive spectacular awards at the top for playing this Super League and the rest will continue in misery, then we are wrong because the football is going to split . much more. But in this way it helps the rich to empower themselves more and teams like Getafe, to give an example, cannot compete with them. That is not good”.
Finally, the ESPN analyst said that “we are at a very complicated time. Hopefully all this marks a before and after but it is positive for football. I hope it will be. That this will rearrange the chips and open a lot of eyes because football needed a change ”.
“Now the lock gate has been opened and we will have to be careful, because the consequences can also be very serious. Can you imagine a World Cup without the protagonists of these teams? In this way, the World Cup becomes a fiasco with all the major teams weakened. Watch out because the tournament can look very nice, but the shot can also backfire ”, he concludes.
