The European Super League dilemma

What's been said after a court ruled that FIFA & UEFA had acted illegally by blocking the creation of the ESL

00:00 This proposal, I insist, aims to improve European football as a whole.

00:07 Since it's close to Christmas, I will choose the amusement. I'm amused by it.

00:28 In short, today Europe has won again the European Football League,

00:31 and today football and its fans have won.

00:34 Faced with the pressures we have received for more than two years,

00:37 today the right, reason and freedom are imposed.

00:41 Today, the decision of the European Union Court of Justice

00:45 is of great importance for the future of our sport,

00:49 and has proven us right by ruling that in the current status quo of European football,

00:57 there exists a monopoly that is incompatible with the principles of European law.

01:02 The European Union Court of Justice

01:05 The proposal aims to ensure competitive tension throughout the year.

01:17 It's an open system featuring promotion and relegation,

01:20 and two stages, a league stage and a knockout stage.

01:24 We watched the so-called presentation of a company, A22,

01:32 and it's really, for me personally, hard to decide

01:37 if you should be shocked or amused by the show that we have seen.

01:43 I emphasize that the sentence explicitly, and I repeat,

01:47 the sentence explicitly says that it does not require recognition of the Super League.

01:53 Everything we are hearing, listening to, is totally manipulated.

01:58 The sentence says it explicitly in some of its sections.

02:02 The same presentation, the same videos, the same people,

02:07 they are there, same talks, talk about freedom, but it's not freedom, it's a closed league.

02:13 I hope that they start their fantastic competition as soon as possible with two clubs.

02:20 Football is not for sale. We can show that many times.

02:24 We did, all together, all the football stakeholders and all the European society,

02:29 and nothing, absolutely nothing can change that.

02:33 The European League is a non-profit organization based in the European Union.
