The European Super League continues to make a lot of noise and the controversy continues for an ‘inclusive’ model of the world of football where, thanks to this tournament, 12 clubs would have the opportunity to participate regardless of sporting results and every year.
This possibility has angered fans across Europe who in various countries have rebelled in the streets and held numerous protests. In London, before the Premier League game, the Chelsea fans, one of the 12 clubs that should have participated in the tournament, protested harshly in front of the Chelsea headquarters and also in other historic cities such as Liverpool and Manchester about the situation it was not much different.
. The players themselves did not appreciate this situation, there was a meeting between the captains of the Premier League where all this was discussed and not even the German Toni Kroos appreciated it especially.
Even in the tennis world, all of this has been discussed and world number one Novak Djokovic said he was upset by this possibility. He and many sports legends have argued that the meritocratic method in sports should come first.
Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal, world number 3 and winner of 20 Grand Slam titles, spoke at a press conference from Barcelona where he is currently engaged, he had a more prudent attitude on the subject by not completely closing this possibility.
Nadal is a well-known Real Madrid fan and when commenting on this situation he revealed: “I don’t have a precise opinion because something has been announced that is not yet clear. However, we are all suffering from the pandemic, the sport has been badly hit”
from the economic point of view and it is logical that solutions are sought ”. Simon Chambers, a panelist for the Tennis Majors “Match Points” videocast, recently opined that while Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal will be greatly missed when they retire, the tennis community should stop expecting younger players to take their place.
“It won’t be possible to replace Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal and I don’t think the tour should try to market those guys at the same time, or say that’s what they’re doing,” said Simon Cambers.
Cambers echoed that sentiment during the interaction, as he called for a “new generation” to take over the reins of the ATP tour. The journalist added that the next generation will have to work hard to forge its own path to glory. “This has to be a new breed, they will have to work very, very hard,” Cambers said.
