Among the top 16, 4 teams are from the Premier League, which means that all four teams from the Premier League have advanced to the top 16. Showing super strength, this is the first time in many consecutive years that four teams in the Premier League have entered the top 16 of the Champions League at the same time. Sure enough, the Premier League is the first league in Europe.

The current English media are naturally roaring crazily, boasting about the Premier League, claiming that the Premier League is the best league in the world.

The performance of Premier League teams in the Champions League is indeed very strong, very strong.

You can tell by looking at the list of the top 16. Moreover, four Premier League teams have reached the top eight in Europe many times in a row. Even if they enter the semi-finals of the Champions League, more than half of the Premier League teams will be included. Isn’t this not true? Can you explain the problem?

There are 4 La Liga teams that have entered the top 16 of the Champions League this year, which is very good. La Liga used to be the first league in Europe, but now it will be surpassed by the Premier League. That's why the British media are reporting these things crazily now, claiming that the Premier League is the first league.

In Serie A, 3 teams advanced to the top 16, which is pretty good and remains as competitive as the Spanish League. However, after the [Calciopoli] in 2006, the image of Serie A plummeted, and Serie A also gradually declined.

Then there are two teams in the Portuguese Super League that advanced to the top 16. They performed very well this season. Then there are one team each in the Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and Greek Super League.

This season's top 16 of the UEFA Champions League really belongs to the big leagues.

In order to allow more clubs from European countries to participate in the UEFA Champions League, UEFA wants to allow more small European clubs to enter the UEFA Champions League. They have carried out reforms. In the future, the five major European leagues will The club's interests will be harmed.

This has caused dissatisfaction among many wealthy clubs in Europe. They believe that UEFA is messing around.

For this reason, some club owners have initiated a proposal. They want to break away from UEFA and establish a European Super League. The participants in this Super League must be the top giants in Europe. Only in this way can the quality of the game be guaranteed. Every game is a showdown between the strong and the strong, and there will not be any rubbish games with no suspense like many strong and weak machines in the UEFA Champions League group stage.

Many wealthy clubs feel that participating in such a group stage is really a price drop for wealthy clubs.

In fact, the most important thing is that the interests of their club have been damaged.

There are now many wealthy clubs who have made joint proposals. It is said that they are already meeting to discuss leaving UEFA.

It is said that the famous G14 alliance initiated this proposal.

This is a private organization composed of European giants clubs. It was established in Brussels, Belgium in 2000. Its founding members are 14 top European teams. It aims to use a common voice to negotiate and strive for common interests with football power monopolies such as FIFA and UEFA. Only invited teams can become new members of the G14, which was increased to 18 members in 2002, but the G14 still retains its original name.

However, at the beginning of this year, UEFA contacted and negotiated with the G14 to dissolve the G14 alliance and establish a new European Club Association. This proposal was put forward in January of the following year, and by Valentine's Day of the following year, this proposal was adopted.

On February 15 this year, the G14 League was officially dissolved, and the new European Club Association was officially established.

However, as far as Zhong Cheng knows, the so-called G14 alliance has been disbanded, but their small group has not been disbanded. In other words, although they have entered the European Club Association, they actually still have a small group similar to the G14 League.

Because now they have learned about UEFA's further measures, which are to support clubs from some small European countries and allow more weak and marginalized teams to gain more opportunities to participate in the UEFA Champions League, thereby weakening the five major European countries. The interests of the league.

According to UEFA President Platini's vision, in the future, almost every group in the UEFA Champions League will have a team from other small leagues. This is the support effect, allowing Platini to gain more support, thus Allowing Platini to gain more benefits also weakened the interests below Platini, making Platini's status more prominent.

Therefore, these wealthy European clubs want to leave UEFA and establish a new European Super League, which will give UEFA a blow to the bottom of the cauldron.

It is said that many wealthy clubs are now involved.

This matter was reported crazily by media reporters, and it was said very seriously. Some media reports claim that this so-called European Super League is initially scheduled to be established in 2011. By then, all the top European clubs will join this league and leave the UEFA Champions League.

Of course, many people claim that this so-called league will not be established. This is just a way for those wealthy clubs to put pressure on UEFA and Platini. Let UEFA and Platini not be so unscrupulous. The earth in this world will continue to rotate without anyone!

Yes, many wealthy clubs believe that Platini and UEFA's reforms are too radical.

However, to be honest, Zhong Cheng really received an invitation from a so-called league. They invited Leeds United to participate in the future European Super Football League.

Listening to what the other party meant, they really had such a plan.

However, Zhong Cheng did not agree with them immediately. It is not easy for Zhong Cheng to get involved in this matter now. Leeds United is not playing hard enough now!

However, Zhong Cheng does know that some people really want to break away from UEFA and establish a new European Super League.

However, it is obvious that UEFA will not let such a thing happen. Now UEFA has also taken some measures to win over a group of wealthy clubs, and then prepares to suppress a group of wealthy clubs, so that these people can see the power and methods of UEFA.

Zhong Cheng was not involved, and it had nothing to do with him. Now what Zhong Cheng is concerned about is the next draw for the top 16 of the UEFA Champions League. Who will Leeds United draw?
