Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger considers it a bad idea to offer the 12 leading sides of the Super League in European football and says it won’t go far as it threatens the unity of the game.
Football must remain united
Elite teams from across the continent have announced that they intend to introduce a new competition into the calendar that will allow them to compete against each other, with plans for a large launch party in 2021-22. Arsenal is among those who signed up for the Premier League’s Big Six, with three sides from Italy, and just as many from Spain are also getting involved in a project that Wenger, who now has a role in FIFA, can’t see getting off the ground.
Arsene Wenger, who spent 22 years as Gunners’ boss and is now FIFA’s head of global development, said he would say this is a bad idea. Football must remain united, this is the most important thing. He also said that it is based on sporting merit and generally respects the history that was built out of European football.
Maintain unity in the game
The introduction of a new continental division is nothing new, with the Super League being offered in various guises over the years. Efforts to achieve this reality have now taken a significant step forward, but widespread opposition to reform could lay the foundation for this work. Supporters, former players and sports organizations from around the world have spoken out against the proposals put forward by Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester United, Manchester City, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid, Inter, and AC Milan Juventus.
Inquiring further why the Gunners got involved, Arsene Wenger said he doesn’t know what’s going on, but that doesn’t change what he thinks. he believes that the most important thing for him is to maintain unity in the game, and that football is played the same all over the world and that he is within the same organization.
