Aleksander Ceferin once again harshly criticized the supporters of a Super League at the UEFA Congress in Lisbon.
“In just a few months, the so-called Super League has transformed itself into a character from Little Red Riding Hood: a wolf disguised as a grandmother, ready to eat you. But can anyone really be fooled?” said the UEFA boss in his opening speech: “Fortunately,” none of the drivers “died of shame.”
After all, their plans are “morally reprehensible, self-interests are placed above the community, lies are spread instead of the truth, a monopoly is to take the place of democracy,” Ceferin continued to complain.
Three top clubs want to continue pursuing Super League plans
Football is “a people’s sport. We must never forget that we have a duty to ensure that the interests of football take precedence over the private interests of a privileged handful.”
The current model is based “on sporting merit. Merit cannot be claimed, it cannot be earned. It can only be earned. Season after season. On and off the field. There is no place for cartels on this continent.”
In Real Madrid, Juventus Turin and FC Barcelona, three of the founding members have not distanced themselves from the Super League plans, most recently the sports marketing agency A22 pushed the project.
