Last night, the controversy broke out between Andrea Agnelli and Antonio Conte , who were the centre of the attention thanks to a dispute at the end of Juventus-Inter in the Italian Cup match.
Meanwhile, the Juventus president also ended up in the crosshairs of the well-known French newspaper L'Equipe . The columnist Vincent Duluc said very critical words against him with regard to the reform of European football. A reply is expected from the one who heads the ECA (the European Association of Clubs).
Duluc in his editorial in L'Equipe wrote the following about the Juventus president : « A year ago Andrea Agnelli, one of the men who hurts the universality of football the most, declared that Atalanta's presence in the Champions League was not right. We, instead, do know what is actually not right and dangerous for football: that he was the one to design, together with some friends, the European football of tomorrow ».
The journalist is very critical of what will be the future Champions League, defined as «the product of the dictatorship of the big clubs, their greed and the weakness of UEFA» . He adds that football is " confiscated by a caste in front of which the institutions bend for fear of leaving the games and no longer being able to share the benefits.é
Duluc also attacks UEFA, weak and unable to oppose the ECA. He is convinced that the reform of the Champions League will lead to an already large gap between the big players in European football and other teams.
