President of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Alexander Cheferin expressed his opinion on the possibility of creating a third European Cup.
In his opinion, this will bring football mad damage. In general, Cheferin is categorically against the realization of this idea..
"European Super League will cause significant harm to football. And I think it will be boring.. Every week to watch the match “Juventus” - “Bavaria”. I do not know. I think this is worse than, for example, Juventus - Torino and confrontation with other teams..
I am categorically against such a superleague, and I will fight against it with the help of my powers ".
In addition, Cheferin expressed his dissatisfaction with the number of participants at the future World Championships, which Qatar will accept in 2022. Note that 44 teams can play there at once..
"In terms of competitiveness, the World Championship with 48 national teams will be a bit boring.
European Championship is already stronger than the World Championship. Take, for example, the match Russia - Saudi Arabia (5: 0). Serie B team can beat Saudi Arabia ", - quotes Cheferin Football Italia.
Last season with three European Cup tournaments was in 1998/99. Then in Europe played the Champions League, UEFA Cup and Cup Winners' Cup.
