Shakhtar General Director Sergiy Palkin commented on his position before the project of creating a European Super League.

“It’s important for me to discuss this. First of all, when news emerged about A22 winning the case, two years later they published a statement to the club, which is supported by UEFA and UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin. And there are a lot of clubs, I understand that at least 90% have done this by publishing statements on their websites. We also have a special group on WhatsApp. We also support UEFA.

I don’t understand the Super League, I don’t understand its essence and why we have to change, since we have such an organization as UEFA, and under it we can end up with bad, good structure. Magannya. As you can see from this, as there have been 10 years of this, the stinks today have changed to become stronger and will continue to increase in size, which we remove, the stinks increase in the number of matches, increase in size brush zmagan, for example, the League of Conferences appeared, which had never existed before. They have acquired a lot of clubs, they have acquired perhaps all leagues, not all clubs, but a number of clubs that take part in European companies have significantly grown. I don’t understand why we need to change things.

The least important thing for UEFA is the participation of European clubs in European tournaments and their financial support.. And a hundred percent of everything that I have counted, all the numbers are only growing. I don’t understand why we can lose respect for this, in my opinion, frivolous food.

Possibly, the consequences are serious for even rich clubs, and in Europe there are not only 25 clubs, it is necessary to pay respect to the entire football community and, most importantly, to accept the development of football throughout Europe. Otherwise there is no sense. Otherwise, A22 takes us so far that we don’t need to go to the stadium, just turn down the TV and watch the top clubs play one after another. That's all?

These clubs are rich, and they become even richer, and others become known. Actions are known through those who can remove such bonuses from UEFA and even critical nutrition from a financial point of view. Therefore, first of all, I am for football, I support football as a group, and it is our responsibility to popularize and promote this idea. Well, what we are talking about now, the Super League, is not about the game, but just about pennies, just about pennies,” the club’s press service quotes Palkin.

Previously, Palkin shared his thoughts about the transfer work of “Girniki”.
