Infantino Could have had knowledge on the Superliga

In spite of that the project of creation of a Superliga European promoted by twelve of the main clubs of Europe remained desestimado during the month of April and, waiting for possible sanctions by part of the UEFA, the informations on the tournament continue generating controversy.

Gianni Infantino, president of the FIFA, has indicated that it did not deny to that the institutions involved in the project carried it advance until his back failure. In such sense, the president of LaLiga, Javier Thebes, has accused him to be a possible accomplice, a version that was reinforced by the New York Times.

Nevertheless, Infantino has gone out to the step of this type of comments during the congress of the FIFA: "we would have to look the facts, no the rumours or gossips. Especially because they come from of some parts. I have worked in different places of importance in the football during decades. I know a lot of clubs, speak with them for many years, from my days in UEFA".

Infantino Would not have been the only

It explained that the subject of the Superliga always has been on the table: "When we speak with European clubs, the Superliga always was a subject of discussion, always, all the world of the football knows it. So we do not play with this. All know that from does years and years some clubs are studying or preparing for projects like east or similar".

It indicated that even in his go through the body rector of the continental football, already spoke of similar initiatives: "In the 16 years that was in the UEFA always achieve it and can say that there were projects much more advanced that the one who have seen recently".

Likewise, it denies that the fact to sustain conversations and listen proposals does not indicate that it was giving his support to them: "it Is my responsibility like mandator of the FIFA gather me and debate with the parts interested. Listen to some clubs and speak with them does not involve that the FIFA have been behind or conspired for the project of the Superliga.

It remembered that previously already it had tried to convince to the involved to desist "In January signed a statement that was very clear. I signed it I same, went the first person in the statement. I was very clear and this obviously did not deter some clubs to go on with the project".

Nevertheless, it manifested that this type of conflicts do not come him well to the football in the world: "it is going back unavoidable and never is good for anybody. Any war is good, never. I went back to be clear and very firm in the congress of the UEFA. I said it very clear, or are inside or these went".
