Juventus president Andrea Agnelli has once again defended the European Super League, and this time he claims the competition is already in operation, but in another country.
Juve, Barcelona and Real Madrid continue to push for the competition which would replace the UEFA Champions League.
However, they have lost most of the support they initially had, and it is a surprise that they are relentlessly pursuing the idea.
One of their arguments is that it will stop a competition from dominating the game, but Agnelli believes there is already a Super League.
He maintains that the Premier League is one as it has all the money on the continent, and it also draws all the best players in the world.
“Slowly, the Premier League will attract all the talent, which goes where it’s better paid. There is already a Super League,” he said via Football Italia.
“We could have two English teams in the Champions League Final, one in the Europa League, perhaps against a Scottish one.
“There is one Premier League at the start of the season, and another one from March onwards. The current system is locked, the same teams always win domestically. With the Super League, we wanted to create a dialogue with UEFA and FIFA, the definition of the competition’s format is something else and would come later.”
Juve FC Says
The Super League idea will hardly work now because of how selfish the original proposal was.
If the proponents didn’t make it a closed shop, fans would have supported the idea, but they made it one. No matter how many tweaks they make to it, it would be hard to get support for the idea now.
Cry my a river, why don’t you
Meanwhile Bayern Münich has no problems being competitive, just like Real Madrid etc. etc.
The reason why Juve is in trouble now, is because Agnelli decided to throw a ton of cash at Ronaldo & got nothing in return.
That’s not everybody elses fault
Agneli gambled big time on a dud & lost.
Absolutely correct. He thought the pl made money from branding instead of seeing that it is a positive footballing mindset that English fans still overpay for in my opinion for…. but they are happy to do so. If pirlo had got fourth a game earlier our history could have been so much different, not that I’m a massive fan as some difficulties were extreme but he was getting there This latest allegri cycle is either going to be a downward cycle of negative play or a downward spiral into forgetfulness as they aren’t investing big big money after vlahovic or taking risks to get results on and off the pitch. We are Assist the forgotten club in Europe. Top 4 and lacklustre results are enough for agnelli , juve are purely a money- making exercise. further proof? Allegri is guaranteed his job even without top 4 or a trophy. The super league idea will get us out of europe anyway, believe me i’m no fan of uefa but their competition is unmatched
