Bernd Reichart is the spokesman who is giving brushstrokes about the intentions of Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Juventus
The problem is the disconnect between public messages and what they later comment on in private
The arrival of Bernd Reichart at A22 has been something of a breath of fresh air for the Super League. Today, at least, there is a spokesman who is giving hints about the intentions of Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Juventus, and what the future of international club tournaments should be like.
The problem is the disconnect between public messages and what they later comment on in private. And the feeling of lack of definition will last until a concrete proposal is put on the table like the first one, today buried in a drawer before the general opposition of fans, national leagues and excluded clubs.
If we stick to the last comments in huddle, the Super League no longer starts from the idea of being a closed tournament with the great European powers. That proposal included Big Six of the Premier League, today off the hook from any model that puts its domestic competition at risk. And therein lies the underlying problem for the latest idea of what should be the competition that takes over the Champions League baton.
According to what they say, a great tournament open to the best clubs in each country by history and results, occupying the weekend and as a great counterweight to the Premier. A smoke bomb, I imagine, with little experience from a business point of view. Everyone pay attention to the CJUE and its sentence.
