The Sunday night announcement about creating one European Super League by the twelve founding teams and the well-known response of the football organizations of the old continent such as the UEFA and the FIFA announcing his disagreement and possible sanctions to those involved in the megaproject, did nothing more than confirm that, speaking in boxing terms, the fundraising between the two sides has officially begun.
“The fight between the twelve powerful teams in Europe against UEFA and FIFA as an ally was set up. What a mess we are in the world of football,” he said. Hernán Pereyra kicking off this week’s first edition of the podcast ‘It’s Like That’. “We are on the verge of a change that can mark a before and an after in the course of the history of this sport, and that can lead to changes in even the world championships,” said the driver of the cycle to explain that is what formed 12 powerful teams in Europe with the launch of this new competition.
After explaining how it will be the same, to what teams will include and the form of dispute of the tournament in question, Pereyra focused on giving his opinion on the subject saying that “the 12 powerful were cut from the rest and formed their own competition with this Superliga: the three strongest in Spain (Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona), three in Italy (Juventus, Milan and Inter), and 6 in England (Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea) are its founders who say they will have 3 guests and 5 teams going to qualify paa through their own Leagues to reach 20 in total, ”he mentioned.
“UEFA is taking the lead and is desperate just like FIFA,” Pereyra said, adding that in terms of prize money, “the champion will receive 400 million euros against the 120 currently received by the champion of FIFA disapproved of the model in a statement saying it was in favor of an equitable redistribution of income, while UEFA warned that it would take both judicial and sporting action to the point that those who play this competition, they will not be able to be part of any local, European or global competition and the participating players will not be allowed to be part of the selections of their respective countries “, he explained.
“While there are things that I like, there are others that I don’t like. When you play every week, it’s like having Champions every week. I like that, but from there to d “It’s complicated, because the federations are against it. The appeal of seeing the most powerful in Europe is very big and only two important teams would be missing, such as Bayern Munich and PSG,” said the driver of ‘Es Así i Point’.
Another issue that Pereyra mentioned in his analysis is the question of the power that UEFA and FIFA would lose. “In a way, I even enjoy this possibility because both bodies have monopolized so much power for years, which allows them to manage wealth for their own good, that leaders, travel in private jets, stop in five-star hotels with per diems spectacular. And what do they give the footballer? “, he emphasized
“Something went wrong on the part of UEFA and FIFA, the leaders are being treated like kings, so that the situation reaches this point,” Pereyra added. “In this way, many leaders abused power so it’s good to stop the ball as happened with the FIFA-gate. But this issue also has its bad side and needs to be made known.”
“Now we are going to the negative side. If today Atlético Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid have more staff than the rest of Laliga and at the top they will receive spectacular prizes to play this Superliga and the rest will remain in misery, we are “It’s bad because football is going to be divided a lot more. But in this way it will help the rich get stronger and teams like Getafe, for example, can’t compete. That’s not good.”
Finally, the ESPN analyst stated that “we are in a very difficult time. I hope that all this marks a before and an after but that it is positive for football. I hope that if it will be. That this will rearrange the tokens and it will serve to open a lot of eyes because football needed a change “.
“Now the floodgate 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 main figures of these teams? In this way, the World Cup will be a fiasco with all the great weakened selections .. Beware because the tournament can look very nice, but also the shot can come out of the butt, ”he concluded.
