Courtois Surprises by Speaking out about the Champions League and the Super League: I Think It's...
Courtois makes some memorable statements and the new Champions pulls hypocrisy
One of the most important players in the white team's team is undoubtedly the Belgian goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois. This goalkeeper has built a reputation through great performances and saves full of glory and history. However, he's surprised many with his most recent statements regarding the new UEFA Champions League format.
"New Champions format? I'm a fan, but I think it's very similar to our president's idea, it's similar to the Super League," were his words. Mainly because it's an aspect that very few may have considered and that makes a lot of sense. An attempt by UEFA and FIFA to recreate this super league format in their style to prevent it from succeeding.
However, this leaves only a very important mark to consider: this is that both organizations consider what Florentino has wanted to do a good idea. Another piece of evidence that Florentino Pérez is one of the great innovators of this sport.
The format is similar
As we already know, the format of the new UEFA Champions League is quite similar to what was proposed regarding the Super League. Therefore, the mere fact of rejecting this format initially seems more like hypocrisy than anything else.
Real Madrid president, along with other collaborators, tried to change the soccer scheme a couple of years ago. However, the hostility from FIFA and UEFA was so great that they ended up intimidating the other clubs. For this reason, the start of this new tournament, which promised a lot, had to be postponed.
To this day, work continues on this to offer the best possible system for the teams in question. Nonetheless, seeing how FIFA is making decisions, it seems simply implausible that they would opt for such a similar format.
Someone will end up succeeding
In the end, this fight seems to have a clear winner when all this is over and only one favorite competition remains for everyone. Although, seeing how they're starting to take the reins of the Champions, in any case, the format will be similar.
