The defender of the Barcelona, Gerard Hammered, explained in an interview given in the program Universe Valdano of Movistar Plus, why reason has pronounced openly against of the Superliga of Europe promoted mainly by the managerial maximum of the Madrid, Florentino Pérez.
I explain that, although at the beginning they affirm that the local leagues will not disappear, said model will contribute to that these go to less on a long-term basis and of progressive form. "To the start say that the leagues remain . Iran happening the years and behind this there are investment funds, banking societies. When it arrive the moment that there are losses, will decide to put the parties in weekends. And we will not know why, we will find us a model of competition of Wednesday and Saturday. That is my vision. That will go remaining with the income of the leagues. And here yes that they go out you the numbers".
It added that this will contribute also to that other clubs that remain by out of the competition in question finish for disappearing. "You are shattering all the system to achieve it. We want to this for the football? What the Seville, Valencia, Everton, Leicester and the Naples disappear?. This is to where goes . If we want that it was this, forward, but it is necessary to know it. It is an American model, that has these things and his good things".
Change of system
In spite of his criticisms against said proposal, Hammered did not deny that the football needs a change. "What is clear is that the model has to change. It is necessary to look for a balance in which they can coexistir the big with the no so big. In LaLiga and in the UEFA would have to have more weight that a team of lower category. The same more votes, more income. But break with everything, break the ecosystem... You load you put of work".
One of the things that considers that it has to change is the calendar of the parties. "The calendar, as it is now, is a Frankenstein. They put the competitions here. The competitions want to more parties and more income. They have arrived to a point in that the cow does not give more".
And it added: "it Is very important. The youngsters, of 15 years, consume the football of another way. In this period only there was football. You were expecting to consume it everything. Right now it competes with all what is in the network and is contained that it likes them a lot. It is difficult for them have them concentrated 90 minutes. It is necessary to change the way, perhaps small things of the sport. We can not remain us static because if no, there will be a moment in which it goes him to leave to like the football".
On the decision of Laporta
In spite of his posture, aseveró previously that expects that Laporta take the best decision on if the Barcelona has to be part of said initiative or no. "If I put me the hat of president of the Barça, that is what has to do Laporta, finds a situation inherited, an economic situation very bad. It will take the best decision for the club. In this moment, the Barça is founder of the Superliga. I think that this decision has a very important reason in the economic situation of the club".
