Erik ten Hag revealed his thoughts on the new European Super League in a press conference on Friday.
Two years after it was seemingly protested out of football, the European Super League is back, this time with a completely different format.
The new proposal consists of a multi-division format with up to 80 teams, along with financial restrictions. According to A22, the company that is sponsoring the league, they have been in contact with over 50 clubs since last October.

“I’m aware of the dynamic of what’s going on but if I see they’re coming up with new ideas I have to have a look at it and I will make an opinion. So I’m not aware because we are playing so many games in this moment” the Dutch manager said.
“We have to develop this team, we have some problems with new players to bring in, so that’s where my focus point is, therefore I need all my energy.
“About new European competitions; other people at the club will have a look at it and inform me if the time is there and we have to make decisions, but the decision is up to the club.
“I think the current structure is good but there will always be initiatives to make it better, to make the football better and that is what life is; people always want to construct better, which is a good thing because if it is in favour of the football, it is always good.”
