The attitude and determination with which the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, acted in front of the English clubs to demolish the intentions of creating a European Super League may end up giving the United Kingdom the full support of UEFA to be the great candidate to organize the Cup of the World of 2030.
This panorama, which is quickly displayed in Spanish newspapers, particularly in Brand, is supported by the tough line of threats and warnings that continues to send Aleksander Ceferin against the promoters of the Super League.
The top leader of European football, now in an interview with the Daily Mail, insisted that the action taken by the “separatist” clubs is not going to end without consequences. But, in this case, marking differences between the “rebels”, because it placed Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus in a different place.
His praise for the way in which the six British clubs left the Super League, acknowledging the mistake and apologizing for the case, plus the fiery recognition of Boris Johnson, is what reflects that UEFA is very close to giving its support to the the United Kingdom’s candidacy for the 2030 World Cup, leaving aside the option of Spain Y Portugal, who also claim to be considered as potential organizers.
“I am very grateful to the UK government, with all its authorities, for how they protected football,” said Ceferin and if it is recalled that he repeatedly stressed that the UEFA “will only support a European candidacy, so as not to divide the vote”You do not have to be very clever to associate what can happen. Much more when the UEFA president emphasizes “I really appreciate the protection of football (that the English have done), I appreciate it very much. Your infrastructure and approach to football is correct.”
It is true that the Spanish Football Federation signed its rejection of the Super League, but it loses far with the way in which all the English authorities responded.
