The project of the Superliga European still continues without concretising , but his main impulsores still keep esperanzados in carrying out it. One of them, the president of the Juventus, Andrea Agnelli, has warned that this new model that would change considerably the football as it knows him at present already is a reality and has begun in England.

The jerarca of the team of Turín has offered statements for 'Calcium and Finance' in the frame of 'Il Foglio to Saint Siro', in which it has demanded to the media the greater responsibility when issuing informations on the subject: "Have maximum respect to the organisms of investigation and ask the same. Some news treat of distinct way depending on the moments…".

Agnelli Also has remembered that a dozen of clubs had the intention to have a conversation with the body rector of the European football and that his last intention was to present a 'battle' legal, as the one who exists at present: "The project had two moments. There were 12 clubs that sealed an agreement of 160 pages, whose first point was to have a conversation with UEFA and FIFA. The definition of the format of the competition would have arrived afterwards".

Likewise it has warned that the fear finished for doing back to these teams in front of the possible sanctions to which were exposing : "What does to think is the vehement reaction of the institutions, that scared to some clubs that, by fear, stepped backwards. For a legal battle of east calibrate does lacking to have wide shoulders and think that this model can change".

Regarding the local tournaments, the president juventino accuses them to have 'stagnated' the football: "there was an extraordinary party like the City-Madrid, but do not darse that there are two competitions that go to generate 28.000 millions in the next years, Premier League and Champions. The English championship generates 4.200 millions by season, and little by little goes to attract all the talent: already it is a Superliga. It is possible that have two English teams in the final of Champions and one in the finals of Europe and Conference League. This is the vertical polarisation, and afterwards is the horizontal. We look to the domestic leagues: PSG, Bayern, Legia... This system inmovilizó to the football".

Darts to the UEFA and to Ceferin

Also it has explained that there are proofs that the continental organism has incurred in practical monopolistas: "In this moment is legislator, judge, commercial operator monopolista of the competitions. It is not a gobernanza modern and this is the main point of our resource in the Court of Justice of the European Union. It touches the fundamental principle of the free competition in free market".

In his opinion, no longer it exists the possibility to restart conversations or negotiations in front of the posture assumed by the president of the UEFA, Aleksander Ceferin, the one who continues defending fervientemente the current model, adopting a conservative posture: "Inevitably, no longer there is dialogue with him. It interpreted all this like a personal attack, but is not like this and the time will show it".
