Here are some of the figures and clubs that disapprove of the tournament.

“Kids grow up dreaming of winning the World Cup and the Champions League not a Super League. The pleasure of big games is that they only happen once or twice a year, not every week. Really hard to understand for all football fans “.

“This so-called“ Super League ”is anything but“ Super. ”This greedy, insensitive move would mean a disaster for our grassroots football, for women’s football, and for the football community at large just to serve the interested owners, who left to worry about his fans for a long time, and a total indifference to sporting merit. Tragic “.

Paris Saint-Germain’s Spanish midfielder Ander Herrera spoke out on Monday against the project to create a European Super League promoted by 12 powerful clubs, whom he accused of “ending the dream of the football “.

People are not happy with that and so I could not say much more because I was not involved in the process, neither the players nor I. We knew nothing, so we have to wait and see how it develops.

“I’m 53. Since I’ve been a professional, the Champions League has been here. My goal has always been to coach a team that plays it. I have no problems with the Champions League. I like the competitive aspect of football and m “I like West Ham having a chance to play in the Champions League. What can I say? It’s not an easy thing,” the German told Sky Sports.

“The most powerful are for what they produce and summon but the rest are indispensable. What gives health to the competition is the possibility of the development of the weak and not the overgrowth of the strong but the logic that prevails in the world, and football is not out of it, it’s that the powerful are richer at the expense of the rest being poorer, ”Leeds coach Bielsa told Sky Sports.
