Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola said he had little information about the European Super League, but was critical of the selection of the clubs that make it up and that there is no relationship between “effort and reward” to belong to she.
“I found out a few hours before the statement was issued, like the other coaches. I was told we were going to issue a statement. The statement is there, but no one has offered any more details than what will be created.
“This is not sport. I have little information, but it cannot be considered sport when there is no relationship between effort and reward and when success is guaranteed by a few. When it does not matter to lose.
“I’ve said many times that I want to succeed in the Premier League, not just in a big one. I don’t know if the statement will be changed and four or five more teams will be allowed to move up.”
Manchester City are one of the 12 founding teams in the European Super League and Pep launched a critique of UEFA, which opposes the creation of the new competition and has already threatened the clubs that are creating it.
“You don’t have to be cynical. Everyone looks out for their interests, UEFA too … In the most important part of the league, when we fight for titles, (Robert) Lewandowski couldn’t play against PSG because he was injured with his UEFA decided so and Lewandowski could not play to go to Poland in March. Everyone looks out for their interests, “he said of a body that for him,” has failed. “
Finally, he reiterated that he does not understand why some clubs that have won the European Champions League are not part of the so-called European Super League.
“It’s a global problem and we need to clarify why these teams are and others not like Ajax which has four Champions Leagues. They need to clarify that.”
