Antonio Cassano calls on the Italian Football Association FIGC to remove Internazionale, Juventus and AC Milan from Serie A. The reason is the plans of the clubs to set up a European Super League together with nine other top clubs. On behalf of Italy, Juventus, Inter and Milan have joined the plans, which has gone down the wrong way with Cassano. According to the former striker, the consequences should be harsh.
Cassano himself wore the shirts of Inter and Milan in the past. That does not prevent him from speaking out loudly against the plans for the newly formed Super Leauge. “I would ask the FIGC to exclude Juventus, Inter and Milan from Serie A and let them fight a championship themselves, just for the three of them,” said a frustrated Cassano. Bobo TV. “They will have to understand that not only are they in charge of football. I give Gabriele Gravina (president FIGC, ed.) One tip: do you want to do this?”

In addition to Cassano, UEFA is also strongly opposed to the arrival of the Super League. There is a threat to exclude all participants in the Super League from the national competitions. “These teams cannot form their own championship”, Cassano continues. “They need to understand that football is about people who love the sport. Small clubs are indispensable to form a league.” The criticisms are aimed particularly at Juventus president Andrea Agnelli, who is one of the new vice-presidents within the organizational structure of the new tournament.
On Monday, Michael van Praag already spoke about the role of Agnelli. Van Praag is co-board member of Agnelli as a member of the executive committee of UEFA. “He exposes himself as an ordinary liar, cheater and traitor. This third break-away attempt has gone really scandalous regardless of the content,” said Van Praag. UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin called Agnelli a ‘snake’. He had never met anyone who “lies so often and so incessantly.” “I spoke to him on Saturday and then he indicated that it was just rumors and that there was nothing wrong. Then he hung up,” said Ceferin.
