The media revealed that Juventus President Agnelli will introduce the European Super League 2.0 plan in detail at the sports economy summit organized by the Financial Times of London, and the media revealed some details in advance, and Cheferin and Tebas once again shelled the plan.
In April 2021, 12 clubs, including Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juve, launched the European Super League plan. However, just 48 hours later, nine clubs announced their withdrawals, and some were penalized by UEFA.
After 11 months, the European Super League 2.0 plan is out again. German media revealed that compared with the previous plan, the new version of the European Premier League plan has 5 changes, including no permanent seats, will be based on the league results to determine the participating teams, 20 teams will participate in the European Premier League, the sub-league will also have 20 teams to participate, the number of games will be significantly reduced. "Milano Sport" believes that the European Super League will be unveiled in 2024, when 32 teams will participate.
Spanish media revealed that Real Madrid, Barca, Atletico, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, AC Milan, Inter Andve 10 clubs will participate in the European Super League 2.0 plan, while Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are not participating in this plan.
After learning that the UEFA 2.0 plan will be launched on Thursday, UEFA president Cheferin and La Liga president Tebas have once again criticized the plan. Cheferin said: "I have to say that those who talk about the European Premier League are not talking about football, I have long been tired of this non-football program. First, they launched the program during the pandemic, and now, they're planning to roll it out again in a war. ”
"They can pay people to write, 'It's a good plan, they're united and it helps the little team.'" However, this is nonsense, and everyone knows it. A person who participated in the European Super League program called me afterwards to apologize. For them, fans are customers, and for us, fans are fans. ”
Cheferin stressed again, "They can play their own game, and no one is going to ban them." However, if they play their own game, they cannot participate in our game. ”
Tebas said, "We are all against the European Super League plan, and I regret the idea of restarting this project." If Agnelli doesn't explain the plan today, it means he'll lie. They say there will be two or three teams relegated, but teams like Juve, Barca, Real Madrid will have a hard time relegating. ”
"They are against UEFA, the Premier League, and their growth is contrary to their model. They can say what they want, but that's what they're doing. ”
"Every time I see these things, I get angry. Honestly, I think they lie more than Putin has told. They insist that the plan will not affect the leagues of various countries. We are idiots who believe this, and it makes me feel humiliated. They will cause great damage to football. ”
