Football The hectic 72 hours in which the Super League accelerated: "You have to sign today"
Soccer How are the Super League and the future Champions League different?
The
European
Super League
could take its first major setback just hours after its creation. The
Chelsea
, one of the twelve founding clubs of the new competition of the continental football prepares Tuesday the
necessary documents for output of the project
, as confirmed by
British media as '
The Guardian
', '
The Times
' or '
The Telegraph
'.
While waiting to know more details about the situation, the directive led by the Russian billionaire
Roman Abramovich
would have felt very pressured by the criticism and protests of his fans, who have crowded the outskirts of
Stamford Bridge
, stadium of the 'blues ', before the game against Brighton to show his anger at Chelsea's entry into the Super League. "Give people time," said
Petr Cech
, the club's exporter and now an advisor to the board, to the fans who gathered in the street.
Yesterday it was already rumored in the English press that one of the teams of the famous 'Big 6' of the Premier (
Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea
) would have decided to break the hypothetical contract that binds him to the
Super League
and return to the reins of UEFA. The highest organization of European football has insisted on Tuesday that if any of the clubs wanted to return, they would not put obstacles.
Along with Chelsea, several English media point out that
Manchester City
would also have the intention of abandoning the project.
In this case it is '
The Sun
', which states that the team trained by
Pep Guardiola
will not be part of the new competition.
The Catalan coach had been very critical of the project in his last press conference, and several footballers from the 'citizen' club had shown themselves against the Super League on their social networks.
