While this confusion and inaction persist, the strengths that loom the European dimension of the sport and treat to undermine his characteristics take advantage of the situation. The Superliga European was a clear example of this type of performance, that by the moment, and fortunately, has fracasado because of the firm European opposition to his realisation".
