Ceferin: “Juve, all wrong. And on Agnelli and the Negreira case at Barcelona…”

Aleksander Ceferin has Barcelona in his sights, and more. After the opening, last week, of the investigation by UEFA into the “Caso Negreira”, the case of corruption for which Barcelona ended up under investigation, the president of the European confederation spoke very clearly on the subject in a interview with the Slovenian newspaper ‘Ekipa’. The words of the Uefa president are a warning for Barça, and follow exactly those already pronounced by the president of La Liga Javier Tebas.

“The Negreira case represents one of the most serious situations I have ever seen – said Ceferin -. At the level of the Spanish Liga, the case is prescribed and therefore cannot have sporting consequences. However, civil proceedings are underway in the Spanish court, and as far as UEFA is concerned, there is nothing prescribed. I can’t say much more for two reasons, because there is a UEFA commission investigating the matter and because I don’t know all the details of the case, but I can add that I have informed myself and the situation is extremely serious”.

No to the Super League

The ‘Case Negreira’ will be discussed in the Executive Committee of the Confederation scheduled for the day after tomorrow in Nyon. Ceferin also condemned the Superlega again, “A project that is still standing only for the interest of the newspapers and the ego of some people involved. They are trying to do something just to improve their position in a possible negotiation with us, but they have not understood that there is nothing to negotiate. I have agreed to meet with their representation agency, A22 Sports, and have invited club and fan representatives to be present. Karl Heinz Rummenigge was clear: ‘This is your Waterloo for you’ the Bayern manager told him”.

Ceferin also spoke about Andrea Agnelli, former president of Juve: “The history of the Bianconeri had to end as it did. Because everything was wrong. I don’t have a relationship of affection with Agnelli, but I would like to underline that I respect Juve as a club and that I a lot of respect for everyone involved in Superleague in general. They are great clubs that embody and represent so much more than the movements of their coaches. If a club has a board that makes bad decisions, it doesn’t mean I am against that club as such, much less its fans or players.However, it is interesting to note that of the three clubs that declare themselves the saviors of football, one is in criminal proceedings for restructuring its balance sheet, and the other for transferring money to one of the i leader in the organization of the arbitration. We will see if the third party also has something. It is interesting to see how they would save football”.
