Comment: The European Super League is as close as EVER to a 50/50 split of whether a 4. 6 billion pound plan will be carried out.
Martin Lipton of SunSport said: “Here we pass again.
“Another plan for a European Super League. Just like the others. I meant not to go anywhere.
“Except, perhaps, this time, it’s REALLY serious.
“The suggestion of a $4. 6 billion investment program and revenue from heaps of millions consistent with the club would even cause the cynical haze to raise an eyebrow.
“Note the fact that Europe’s largest clubs are almost unanimous in their preference to open up currency gates after the Covid-19 crisis, and attractiveness becomes even greater.
“But when you also realize that a new festival would be the ultimate weapon in the sour war between FIFA and UEFA, it’s no wonder vital resources think there’s a 50 to 50 chance that the concept will come true. “

“We saw Sevilla beat the Wolves and Manchester United in the last Europa League campaign, so we saw that they have the point of competing against Premier League teams, and this is a team that needs to play offensively and defensively.
“When they don’t have the ball, they need to get it back and attack temporarily and they also check to put their attackers in dangerous situations.
“Last season in La Liga they ended up in the Champions League and won the Europa League, so they had a very smart season and this season in the same way.
