The Super League officially announced on the 19th (Korean time) and announced that “12 European teams gathered today and decided to establish a new weekday tournament organized by the club, the Super League.” The 12 clubs were AC Milan, Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Juventus, Liverpool, Man City, United, Real Madrid and Tottenham. And it is known that three additional clubs will participate.
With the participation of prestigious European clubs, it is expected that it will spontaneously bring a disruption to the football world. In particular, the 12 clubs participating in the Super League announced a great impact as they received 3.5 billion euros (about 4,685.5 billion won) in the name of the participation fee.
However, there was a strong backlash immediately. The international football association (FIFA) and the European football federation (UEFA), as well as the national football associations and league secretariats, stubbornly opposed the opposition. It was argued that when a super league is created, it will only revolve around specific teams, and existing leagues may be in danger. Not only footballers, but also politicians have put a brake on the launch of the Super League. England’s Football Association (FA) President William the British Crown Prince strongly opposed.
Eventually, the Premier League clubs announced their withdrawal from the Super League one by one, and the tail came down. First, Manchester City declared their withdrawal, followed by Tottenham, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea officially announced that they would go through withdrawal procedures.
In the midst of this, Özil threw a witty word. Özil posted the Turkish Super League logo on his personal SNS on the 21st, saying, “The only Super League is the Turkish Super League.” The fans responded, “Yes, the Turkish Super League is the best league in the world”, “I want to continue watching the Turkish League in the future”, “I agree with Özil’s words,” “Of course, only Turkey is the Super League.”
