The man with the most challenging job in Europe right now is probably Bernd Reichart, the CEO of A22, the company employed to deliver the European Super League.
The protagonists had failed in their initial attempt to make it work, but Barcelona, Juventus and Real Madrid continue to support it.
Juve was in favor and worked hard for its creation when Andrea Agnelli was its president and it seems that the new leaders will do the same.
That being said, UEFA is fighting back and has the support of football fans and most governments, making it difficult for A22 to do their job.
However, they never miss an opportunity to say why now is the best time to break UEFA’s monopoly.
In a recent statement about the idea, Reichart said via Tuttomercatoweb:
“It seems like a coincidence. Without a doubt, it should make us reflect on this imbalance between the vast majority of clubs and a few properties that have state entities behind them without spending limits. It is a crucial moment in football. We need an open mind on the part of all the protagonists. Do not close beforehand”.
Juve FC says
The Super League is one of the most complex ideas to sell after its owners showed some kind of greed when presenting it to the public.
After losing to both UEFA and ECA, we hope they will continue to defend it, but their success will take time.
