The German midfielder of Real Madrid, Toni Kroos, criticized the new competitions that are being "invented" in the world of football and regretted that this turns the players into "puppets of FIFA and UEFA", remarking that he does not see the need for creation of a European Super League.
"At the end of the day, in the face of all the new things that are being invented, in a way we are just puppets of FIFA and UEFA," Kroos said on the podcast 'Einfach bad Luppen' that he performs with his brother
Felix
.
Kroos pointed out that tournaments such as the League of Nations or the plan to expand the Club World Cup are designed "to suck everything financially, of course also physically, from each of the players."
If there were a players' union, we would not play a Nations League or a Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia, "he warned.
The 30-year-old Real Madrid footballer also rejected the creation of a
European Super League
, which although its format can be "very exciting and interesting from a sporting point of view because there would only be high-level matches."
"But the gap between big and small clubs would be widening even more," he said.
"It is good to leave things as they are when they are well," stressed the midfielder, for whom current leagues and international competitions such as the Champions League or the World Cup are already "first-rate products".
