Talk about your views on the UEFA Champions League, what is the problem with the UEFA Champions League? Why does the European Super League appear

Let’s first understand what the European Super League is all about,

In the early morning of April 19th, Beijing time, the European Super League was officially announced. Real Madrid chairman Florentino will be the first UEFA chairman, Juventus chairman Agnelli and Manchester United chairman Glazer will serve as vice chairman.

The European Premier League official made this statement: "The 12 leading clubs have jointly announced that they have agreed to form a new midweek event: the Super League. The manager of this event will be the club that initiated. These 12 clubs The clubs are AC Milan, Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Barcelona, ​​Inter Milan, Juventus, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Tottenham. Three more clubs are expected to join before the start of the initial season. Launch. The club looks forward to having a dialogue with UEFA and FIFA to present the new competition in the best possible form."

The first president of the European Premier League, Florentino, also made a statement: "We will be at all levels. Promote the development of football and push it to its rightful place in the football world. Football is the only sport with 4 billion fans in the world. We have a great responsibility. This is to respond to the expectations of fans." According to previously exposed documents , The European Super League will be composed of 15 initial clubs and 5 other clubs. European Premier League proposal:

1. 15 initial clubs share 3.5 billion euros in infrastructure subsidies, and each team will receive between 89 million and 310 million euros. This money will be used for stadiums, training facilities and to make up for the loss of income caused by the epidemic.

2, 20 teams will be divided into two groups, each group of 10 teams, home and away for group matches. Fifteen of these teams are founding clubs, and the other five teams are qualified by qualifying matches. The top 3 of the group advance to the knockout rounds, and the fourth and fifth rounds of the group will determine the promotion places for two rounds.The quarter-finals and semi-finals are home and away games, and the finals are determined in a neutral position. Each season starts in August, and the final is staged at the end of May.

3. The UEFA Champions League will be played in the middle of the week, and clubs can still participate in national leagues.

4. Each club has the right to broadcast 4 games on its own digital platform every season.

5. In the distribution of television broadcast and sponsorship income, the 15 initial clubs shared 32.5% of the income equally, and then the 20 teams shared 32.5% equally.

6. Teams that have not entered the knockout rounds will share 20% of the broadcast and sponsorship income according to their results.

7. The remaining 15% of the income will be divided based on the prestige of each club.

8. Set up salary and transfer investment caps, the total amount is 55% of income.

9. Establish a sustainable economic development team to monitor the expenses of the clubs.

The name of the European Super League should be a contest between European super clubs. What is a super club? It should be a team with a wealthy level, a brilliant record and a dazzling record, or a team with a large number of fans around the world and a strong economic benefit. As mentioned above, the 15 initial teams of the UEFA Champions League, there are other 5 clubs, these 20 clubs form the UEFA Champions League.

Champions League What about the league? ? The qualifications are based on the ranking results of European countries last season. The top teams in the league last season can only participate in the Champions League next season. That's the problem. Even if the so-called giants have a large number of fans, they may not be able to achieve the best results every season.

Take the Premier League as an example, the top three will go directly to the Champions League + a play-off place. If Manchester United ranks sixth at the end of last season, then Manchester United will not be able to enter the Champions League next season. Manchester United fans will not be in the Champions League. How much interest do you have to watch the Champions League in the presence of your own team? Television ratings are also a problem.

The same is true for Arsenal, which has a large number of fans. Arsenal have not participated in the Champions League for many seasons.

These two teams cannot enter the Champions League, so the relative income and profit of the Champions League must be less.

The civilian teams with good results replaced these so-called giants to participate in the Champions League, but their number of fans and ability to attract money cannot be compared with the aforementioned giants. On the one hand, the profitability of the Champions League is reduced, and on the other hand, fans of giants do not want to watch their team participate in the lower level of the Europa League. In this case, both sides are not pleased.

Also, even for a team that has entered the Champions League, if the two sides of the match are two giants, such as "Real Madrid vs Barcelona", it is definitely better than "Barça vs Atlanta" The ability to attract money must be strong. The influence of the giant team, the TV broadcast fee, the advertising fee of sponsors, and the income brought by the many fans of both sides are what the Champions League needs.

The current announcement of the UEFA Super League is to solve this problem. Since then, everyone can often see the matchups between 20 giants teams. Every mid-week, there will be such luxurious matches as Real Madrid vs. Barcelona, ​​Arsenal vs. Manchester United, Liverpool vs. Chelsea... , The benefits of such a league is not comparable to the Champions League.

The boss of the rich team is very clever, playing against the civilian team, the players are tired and the team sucks little money, some games have to go to the distant away stadium in Eastern Europe, the boats and cars are tired, and slowly they don’t want to Played with them.After the UEFA Champions League, even if you play that kind of game in the future, it is estimated that you will just send some substitute players to finish the game hastily.

Just like the social class, buddies who are rich and have some new things to play with, the circles are different, so why do you take those people to play with?
