The general director of A22, Bernd Reichart, the company in charge of making the dream of the European Super League come true, has spoken about it again and insists that the protagonists are right.
Twelve clubs from all European leagues originally agreed to start the competition last year, but nine eventually withdrew due to protests from soccer fans around the world.
Juventus, Barcelona and Real Madrid are still betting on the idea, giving A22 the job of carrying it out.
No German club supported him, but Reichart is German and insists the clubs backing him are doing the right thing.
He said via Calciomercato:
“Juve, Barça and Real denounced real problems, finding a growing consensus: however, tomorrow’s big tournament will have to be based on sporting merits and not on a limited membership structure. It is now a peaceful concept. We are confident. , because our model would represent Europe much more than what happens today”.
Juve FC says
The idea of the Super League is probably what football needs right now, but starting as a closed shop made fans smell greed and that bred mistrust.
Getting them on your side now would be tricky because the initial idea exposed most of the motives behind it.
