Gianni Infantino, president of the FIFA, He surprised several Swiss media on Thursday with a phrase that involved South America in its global construction of world tournaments: “As president of FIFA, I am interested in the Club World Cup, not the European Super League. For me, it’s not about Bayern Munich against Liverpool, but about Bayern against Boca Juniors. ” Infantino intends to organize the first Club World Cup for 2022 and in China. The phrase has a reason, and immediately from Argentina it was used by xeneizes fans on social networks.
It is that the highest representative of FIFA could have used as a symbol the name of Flamengo, the last champion of the Copa Libertadores in 2019, or other great Brazilian teams such as Palmeiras, Cruzeiro Corinthians -although the latter are not going through a promising moment- or exemplify with River, that from the hand of Marcelo gallardo became a cupbearer team or Independent, for its past history. But no, Infantino named “Boca”.
Infantino has long had in mind to organize a Club World Cup that goes far beyond the last ones that were played in Abu Dhabi or Japan. “I dream of 24 teams” is the wish of the FIFA president. The first edition of the new Club World Cup was to be held in China next June, but the idea was postponed indefinitely due to the domino effect of the coronavirus pandemic that still hits the whole world today.
Infantino reacted with this idea when asked about the opposition of UEFA (Union of European Clubs) to the Club World Cup. Europe wants to continue empowering itself within Europe. And so, in the opposite direction to Infantino, Europe intends to create a European Super Cup that could even replace the current Champions League. Everything was born after it transpired that the Manchester United and Liverpool they planned to create a European Premier League, which would be a league with the biggest in Europe. But Infantino tried to calm down by saying that FIFA backs the expanded Club World Cup.
The reports emerged as negotiations between clubs, leagues, national associations and UEFA continue on the future shape of the European club competition from 2024. Among those pushing the idea is Florentino Pérez, president of Real Madrid.
Infantino does not follow the desire of Europe. And he expanded his idea to empower Conmebol clubs: “Liverpool has 180 million fans around the world. Flamengo has 40 million fans and 39 million are in Brazil. Liverpool has maybe five million fans in England and 175 million fans around the world. I want the clubs away from home. Europe have global appeal in the future. That is my vision: to have 50 clubs and 50 national teams that can become world champions. In the future I want non-European teams to also have a global attraction, “he said in statements to Swiss media that were reproduced by Sky News.
Why doesn’t Infantino like the idea of Europe? The president of soccer’s governing body said that such a Super League “would inevitably get boring.”
It was reported that the Manchester United was one of the clubs in talks about the new separatist league, but its executive vice president Ed Woodward distanced the club from possible European Premier League proposals, but insisted that any restructuring of English football would also address the broader pyramid.
In a call with the club’s investors, Woodward said as reported by Sky News: “There will always be an intense debate about any change in the structure of football, just as there was before the formation of the Premier League 28 years ago. Now, in At this critical juncture for the game, we must ensure that the great success of the Premier League is reinforced while ensuring that the broader football pyramid continues to thrive in a rapidly changing media environment. “
Infantino always praised the talents that emerged in the South American region, and the new tournament could have between 4,5 or 5 seats for the South American teams in the first Club World Cup in China.
This will be the next bid. Europe intends to continue competing with Europe, while FIFA President Gianni Infantino seeks more global repercussions. And, in that search, he wants also include South America.
