MADRID, 10 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –
This Wednesday LaLiga once again criticized “the secessionist” Super League and its attempt to “deceive” with its format with three divisions, which “perpetuates a few privileged clubs at the top of European competitions,” and asked its organizers to stop insisting because “with the current system, the success of European football has been achieved.”
“Once again, the promoters of the secessionist European Super League try to deceive with a format structured in three divisions, with promotions and relegations, which they sell as open and meritocratic, but this is not the case,” warns LaLiga in a video.
The employers' association recalls that this system was “rescued from an idea that was already frontally rejected by the entire football ecosystem in 2019” and that “now it is even more restrictive.” “It perpetuates a few privileged clubs at the top of European competitions and destroys direct access through domestic leagues for everyone else, by not earning places by sporting merit each season,” she underlines.
The body chaired by Javier Tebas insists that this format “would block direct access to the higher divisions” for the champions of the national leagues and “would deny access to the next classified” in order to allow “a few to remain at the top.” “regardless of how they do in their respective domestic championships.
“This would retain power in the hands of a few, without taking into account the values of the European football pyramid and would make the dream of the vast majority of clubs disappear, annihilating it to this day,” added LaLiga, which emphasizes that The national leagues would “lack interest” and that would cause a serious drop of 55 percent in their income
For this reason, the Spanish clubs' association assures that “anything that does not guarantee direct access only from the domestic leagues, season by season, would be a closed format only for a few.” “With the current system, the success of European football has been achieved. Don't insist,” he says.
