Ceferin, against the Super League: “Pretending to be saviors and in reality they are digging graves”

Alexander Ceferin He took advantage of his speech to introduce the congress of UEFA to make a direct attack against the Super League the day after confirming the amounts that will move the new league format. Champions Leaguewhich will start next season.

The UEFA president was very difficult to start: “Football is one of the few things in which Europe excels. We have to be proud and success is based on a single model, on unity, on promotions, on relegations. We must protect this model. Everything and not UEFA itself. There are those who try to trample, pretend to be saviors when in reality they are digging graves. They are predators. They form a closed circle. They know nothing about freedom of expression. European football represents one of symbols of Europe. “Unity is the only thing that can save us, even in football.”

Football’s big problem: “There seems to be only one valid law in the European Union and that is the market. Not everyone can buy football. This is not the life we ​​want. There is no future without unity. There are a series of individuals who want to divide us by talking about the free market to continue to grow his ego, his power and money.

What is, in your opinion, the Super League: “We understand the attack on UEFA. We defend a balance. Each club can join the competition they want. They plan through their desire to earn more money, capital, power and prestige. Feel more which is excellence and greed. They always want more and more . They want to be superior. Super League is like Snow White’s apple. You can’t buy dreams, sporting merit. You can’t buy history. We have 70 years of history, but much remains.”

New Champions League format: “Next season a new format of men’s competitions will be launched. More games, more equality, more money… 70 exciting years and more await us.”
