The Real Madrid, AC Milan and Manchester United would be the three big and main impulsores of the new controversy Superliga European, to which the own FIFA has closed him this Thursday for the moment the doors. The disclosure did it the prestigious British newspaper The Times, after the discovery of an incendiary document, that has not done another thing that plant more petrol to the fire.

As it knows , the maximum organism of the world-wide football and the six Confederations of each continent (AFC, CAF, CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, OFC and UEFA) have vetoed the competition promoted by the mentioned clubs and loomed with inhabilitar to the players that take part in her. In concrete, will not be able to participate in competitions like the World-wide, the Eurocopa, the Champions, among others tournaments of envergadura. The news has resulted a ladrillazo for all the European groups that had aspirations to do , with one at all desdeñable sum of money, only for participating.

According to the version of the mentioned media, 310 million pounds (345 million euros) would earn each one of the teams that form part of the Superliga European, that of one would plant expensive and would put in risk the continuity of the UEFA Champions League. Also it speaks that apart from the United, Milan and the Madrid other English groups are had to form part of the new competition.

However, the dream of Florentino Pérez, for the moment, seems that it will remain in a gaveta. This, because the FIFA and the confederations recalcaron that "all the competitions have to be organised or recognised by the competent organism to his corresponding level; that is to say, by the FIFA to world-wide level and by the confederations to continental level".

"In this sense, the confederations recognise to the World-wide Glass of Clubs of the FIFA, with his current and new format, like the only world-wide competition of clubs, whereas the FIFA recognises to the competitions of clubs organised by the confederations like the only continental competitions of clubs", remark.

But the fact that it was the Real Madrid, the Milan and the Manchester United the impulsores of the idea, does to think that hardly it treats of the first attempt. The president of the whites never has hid his interest by the Superliga. When it has spoken on the subject, has referred to that «need new formulas that do it more competitive, more thrilling and stronger», in allusion to the Champions. This was what explained in the last assembly of the white entity, in which it resolved: «A reform that can not expect».

Reviewed the previous, understands now a bit the reaction of the FIFA and of the Confederations, that in a lot of measure is due to Florentino Pérez, since several near sources to the UEFA ensure that the mandamás white was cooking the plan to backs of the own European organism and already would have gathered with several clubs to seduce them. But other versions ensure that till lately the proposal had been shipwrecked, because of the disparity in the economic profits. Only the three teams mentioned, in addition to the Barcelona, with Josep Maria Bartomeu at the front, bet férreamente by the change.

Position of LaLiga

«The FIFA and the confederations are conscious of the damage that would do to the ecosystem of the current football. Here it would not appear more money, but they would try to concentrate it in some poquitos clubs, although I insist that it would be a failure to half term. Those clubs that can be working in this project to backs of the institutions of the football are not loyal with the competitions in which they participate, this is what I do not understand. Now the FIFA has taken out a note and speech of rumour, sure that there is something more than a rumour», expressed Javier Thebes, president of the LaLiga.
