Super League: Andrea Agnelli, the boss of Juventus, persists and points to the “arrogant methods” of UEFA

The Super League was mentioned again on Friday by Andrea Agnelli. The boss of Juventus assured that this competition has “never been a coup attempt” but rather “a cry of alarm“. This project competing for the Champions League, presented in April by twelve English, Spanish and Italian clubs and now only defended by Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Juventus, was”a cry of desperation for a system which, consciously or unconsciously, is heading for insolvency“, estimated the president bianconero during a press conference, for the departure of the sports director Fabio Paratici

“For years I tried to change European competitions from the inside out, because the signs of crisis were evident even before the coronavirus pandemic“, added Andrea Agnelli. He was, until April, the president of the club unions (ECA) and member of the decision-making bodies of UEFA, before resigning by launching the Super League project.

While the last three rebel clubs face sanctions from the governing body of European football, André Agnelli attacked “hurtful words“and to”arrogant methods“from UEFA.”It is not with this type of behavior that football reforms itself“, he said, recalling that Real, Barça and Juve remained”determined“to obtain reform.
