The UEFA president spoke again about Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus: “Why do they want to be in their competition and in those of UEFA? That doesn’t exist
Ceferin is not satisfied with Super League format
Aleksander Ceferin gave a long interview to ‘Corriere della Sera’, talking about the moment in European football, the war in Ukraine and its consequences: “Those who really suffer are not the politicians. In Yugoslavia nobody did anything, it was terrible. For us Slovenians, luckily it only lasted ten days and I didn’t have to shoot. I was 23. We have donated more than a million for Ukrainian children and refugees. We are not affected by politicians, but politics is part of life and we can influence it, because we have the support of many.” During the talk about Vladimi Putin – We had a good relationship in the past, although I don’t think he is a football fan. He likes other sports.”
Sanctions against Russian clubs
It hurts me to punish athletes, it is not their war, they did not want it. However, we must show unity for peace. Close the relationship with Gazprom? It has cost us a lot, but there are people who are losing their lives. I speak every day with Pavelko, president of the Ukrainian federation, and I warned the president of the Russian federation Dyukov before deciding. I am not a coward.” If they establish that UEFA is a monopoly, the three clubs should make their own UEFA and play their competitions. Why do they want to be in ours? They want to be in both, but that doesn’t exist, it’s something metaphysical. They also believe that the Earth is flat. And let’s stop calling it the Super League, let’s call it what it is: Terrible League. Although we have problems with those three clubs, everyone will have the same rights on the pitch. Our competitions are healthy.
