They are the supporters and viewers of today and the years to come. This Monday morning, “Liberation” strolled around the mini-stadiums that dot Paris and the inner suburbs to meet young football fans, aged 18 to 25, with a question in mind: what do they think of Super League project defended by twelve clubs? The answers are unequivocal: evil.
Fahad: “The whole project is made for the money”
“The Super League is going to be an American-style competition. We will prioritize the financial aspect over the sporting aspect, because the twelve permanent teams will not need to fight to win matches and qualify, as is the case with the Champions League. Clubs will invest less in the sporting aspect, such as the purchase of new players, but more in marketing. Because this is the project, the whole project is made for the money, the rights of the broadcasters will go up and the clubs will be able to earn even more than before. As for the small teams who dream of building their history through the Champions League, they will no longer have the possibility. I would rather have preferred that the Champions League update, in particular by perpetuating the place of certain clubs which have the level. As in the English league, where Chelsea risk not being qualified for the next Champions League because the club does not occupy the first four places, while it is qualified for the semi-finals of the European competition. “
Yannick: “The Super League will kill small clubs”
“The Super League is helping to denature football and kill small clubs. Having big posters all year round will tire us out, but it will also harm the Champions League, the most beautiful of competitions. UEFA’s threats to ban players participating in this new competition from wearing their national team shirts are ludicrous. Because it is not the fault of the players, but of those of the clubs. But I think these are empty threats. ”
Maxence: “Imagining La Liga without Real no longer makes sense”
“This new League will kill football, especially small clubs. Personally I support Bayern Munich, and I’m very happy that the German club refused to be in the squad. But for the fans of the other twelve teams, it’s terrible because they will only be able to watch the Super League to see their favorite club. Even for the national championships, imagining La Liga without Real or Barça no longer makes sense. “
Mohamed: “There will be no more merit in being in the league”
“This Super League is really a shitty project. With this frequency of big matches, we will no longer have the special feeling before an event meeting. Putting 15 permanent teams is also nonsense, because there will be no more merit in being in the league. For example, AC Milan is in the 15 clubs just for its history. But today, sportingly, he does not deserve to be in the field. “
