You don't have to fight for four in the Premier League? The European Super League has been announced, but few people are optimistic about its prospects.
Europe 12 Club: Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester City, Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus jointly announced the creation of the Super League. These 12 clubs are from Premier League, La Liga and Serie A respectively. There are no teams in the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 of the five major leagues, and there are 15 permanent teams.
The first president of the Super League is florentino of Real Madrid, and the vice presidents are Glazer of Manchester United and Ranieri of Juventus. Although there are still three permanent teams to join, probably Bayern and Dortmund in Bundesliga and Paris in Ligue 1, their rights have been dominated by the other three major leagues. Even after joining, Germany and France, two European political leaders, have no place. It is doubtful whether they can join, because they are the masters of the European Union, and they may not want to see Europe split on anything.
In addition to the permanent team of 15, the league also invited five teams to form a league of 20 teams according to their performance, but they were divided into two groups, each with a team of 10. The top two teams directly enter the quarter-finals, and the fourth and fifth teams decide the two places in the quarter-finals through play-offs, and finally decide the champion through the knockout stage.
In addition, even if they really embark on this road, what about the signings behind them? I believe that there will be other clubs in La Liga without Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Look at the Chinese Super League champions. They all quit, and their names have changed. Although there is pain, they will pass, because your 15 team is fighting against the whole of Europe. At present, the members of the European Club Association basically include all European clubs. If these clubs unite and don't buy people for them,
Even if some players are willing to join the team of 12 after fulfilling the contract, it is impossible for every player to be willing. Players only look at wages, and 3 10/00000 has little to do with them. So basically 12 team can afford the salary, and other clubs have the same ability. If they want to buy people, they have to double it at least, so the money will eventually flow to these clubs. So,
Former Manchester United meritorious Neville opposed Manchester United and Liverpool to join. He believes that both Liverpool and Manchester United started from the bottom. If joining such a league is equivalent to breaking away from the fans and the original spirit, it is a great shame not to be relegated. In addition, Zhan Jun, a well-known commentator in the Premier League, also said that such leagues have no soul, only money, and cannot last long.
If this project is launched in the future, there will be no need to compete for the top four in the Premier League next season. At present, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham are all outside the top four, and Evan's top four in the season is also excellent. Only the third team in La Liga is qualified, so does this really represent the strongest team at present? If not, what is UEFA afraid of?
