Infantino's 'dart' to Ceferin for his threats to Super League clubs

Gianni Infantino, president of the FIFA, spoke in an interview for 'L'Équipe' of all the wrap with the Superliga European. The maximum mandator of the organism that directs the world-wide football commanded a message to Alekasander Ceferin, his homónimo in the UEFA​, that has loomed in more than an occasion to the Real Madrid, to the FC Barcelona or to the Juventus of Turín for having been the 'cabecillas' of the project.

"Some actions have to have consequences and all have to assume his responsibilities, but always is necessary to have care when speaking of sanctions. Of which sanctions are speaking? Quickly it says that it is necessary to punish, even is popular or populist, but also is necessary to think in the consequences of possible sanctions because when punishing to a club also does to players, trainers, fans, that do not have at all that see with this", commented, regarding the punishment with which has loomed the UEFA to the clubs.

In fact, Infantino even commanded him an indirect to the esloveno by his work at the head of the UEFA, that perhaps has not been the best. "A leader also has to ask after what have arrived to this. And, from here, how we can build together the future and for this it is necessary to listen to all, but especially the fans, that is the true heart of the football", indicated, leaving him a 'recado' to Ceferin.

Regarding the sanctions that could have, the Swiss cleared that FIFA and UEFA will act en última instancia, but that prefers to use the dialogue before that the punishment. "It corresponds first to the national authorities, afterwards in this case to the UEFA and finally to the FIFA take the timely measures. But it is necessary to favour the dialogue on the conflict, even in the most delicate situations. We have to avoid speak of 'war' when we speak of football and when the world suffers an unprecedented pandemia", stood out.

Infantino, had to speak with the clubs

Besides, also it admitted that from his organisation are had to listen the proposals of the clubs that are not happy so that it do not go back to occur the of the Superliga. "I think that never we would have to have arrived to this, to the situation that live does some days, to the edge of an escisión with unpredictable and negative consequences for the football. We are had to debate new ideas, the door of the FIFA always is opened. But this has to do with respect to the institutions", signalled.

Finally, it left very clear that never will be able to be in favour of a tournament that 'break' with everything like the Superliga and that the posture of the FIFA always will be contrary to that this can see the light. "There are situations in which you have to be intransigente. The creation of an enclosed league, 'separatista', out of the structures of the international football, is, no only unacceptable, but simply inimaginable", finalised.
