Beckham attacks the Superliga and Modric and Marcelo 'support' him

The announcement of the creation of the Super League has been a real earthquake in the world of football. Players, coaches and a multitude of legends have come out publicly to show their rejection of the new competition, which has Florentino Pérez as president and main promoter. Gary Lineker (“Come on Barcelona, ​​you're much better than this. You're not like that, you're 'More Than a Club', show it”), Cantona (“Have the big clubs asked the fans what you think of the idea? No, unfortunately no, and it's a shame “), Nevilla (” It's a crime “) or Figo (” This greedy and insensitive movement would spell disaster for our grassroots football, for women's football and for the football community in general “) have raised the voice. The last to show his disagreement was David Beckham.

The Englishman, former player of United, Real Madrid and Milan, three of the founding clubs of the Superliga, wrote on Instagram the following message against the new competition devised by the president that made him a Galactic in Chamartín: “I am someone who loves football . It has been my life for as long as I can remember. I loved it since I was a little kid when I was a fan, and still am now. As a player and now as an owner, I know that our sport is nothing without the fans. We need football to be for everyone. We need football to be fair and we need competitions based on merit. Unless we protect these values, the game we love is in jeopardy … ”. A text that had a lot of impact on social networks and that some members of the Madrid dressing room gave 'Like': Marcelo, one of the white captains, Modric, Lucas Vázquez and Odriozola. Of course, a few hours later, both the Galician, who ends his contract in June and continues to negotiate its renewal, and the San Sebastian, erased it.

Madrid players have not made any demonstration about this Super League promoted by its president, Florentino Pérez. Not even Zidane, who appeared before the media this Tuesday, has wanted to “get wet” in this earthquake: “The Super League is a matter of one person, of the president.” One of the few opinions about it is that he gave months ago Kroos in anticipation of the birth of this new competition and could not be more forceful: “It would be time to quit.”
