April 25, 2021 "The six great English clubs (Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester United, ed) should be treated with more indulgence because they were the first group to change their mind" UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin reiterates in an interview with the Sunday edition of "The Mail", referring to the Super League issue.



The toughest free-kicks will be for Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus, who are still holding on to the idea that the Super League can be resumed. They have been dismissed by Ceferin as "champions who think the Super League exists" and are the teams that seem most threatened with expulsion from European competition next season. The UEFA president then thanked English football and in particular English fans for the role they play in scuttling the Super League plans. And he recognized that UEFA needs to listen to fans who have been marginalized until recently.



UEFA is keen to review new Champions League proposals that increase entrants from 32 to 36 teams by 2024 and which have been criticized by Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola - but Ceferin pointed out that club owners are pushing to play less. games, they will also have to understand that this means having less money for coaches and players.



Ceferin is open to forgoing the two extra seats in the Champions League that were meant to be reserved for clubs based on their all-time record, a change that could have seen all Big Six Premier Leagues qualify for the competition year after year even if he didn't enter in between. the top four in the Premier League.



He will meet the fan groups who lobbied the Prime Minister last week and is exploring ways to integrate their voices into UEFA's structures. He also acknowledges that the passion and organization that have seen the Super League overturned must be reflected in the fight against racism in football.



The Uefa number one, then, has special praise for Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden, fueling hopes for the 2030 World Cup candidacy, with England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland hoping to be UEFA's favorite candidates.
