🚨🎙️ Jürgen Klopp on Gianni Infantino’s plan to sell stakes in the FIFA World Cup;
🗣️"Look, I try to stay out of the politics, I really do. But at some point, you just have to ask: who is actually thinking about the game here?
"Gianni Infantino comes out with this idea to sell twenty percent of the World Cup to private equity investors, and I just shake my head. It’s always about more money, more games, more commercialization. They want to hand out twenty million dollars to every federation to buy votes, but what about the actual sport? The World Cup isn't a tech startup you can sell stakes in to the highest bidder on Wall Street. It belongs to the players and the fans. But as usual, the people making these decisions are sitting in air-conditioned offices, miles away from a football pitch, treating a hundred years of history like an investment portfolio.
"And then UEFA comes out and says, 'Oh, football has a soul, we will boycott!' Come on. Give me a break.
"I’ve been criticizing UEFA for years about the Nations League, the bloated Champions League formats, and squeezing the players until they break. Now suddenly they want to act like the guardians of traditional football? It’s laughable. UEFA isn't angry because football is being commercialized—they’ve been doing that themselves for a decade. They’re just angry that FIFA found a bigger bag of money and didn't leave a cut for them.
"It’s two giants fighting over who gets to keep the wallet, while the players and supporters are left in the middle, completely ignored. We keep adding tournaments, adding money, adding investors—and nobody stops to ask if the product on the pitch will even survive it."
La última vez que España ganó un Mundial nos desmontaron el equipo: Llorente, Javi Martínez, Ander Herrera y el equipo de resintió por razones obvias
Esta vez los 3 mundialistas seguirán hasta el final de sus carreras en el Athletic

@Jonymelow2 Pues lo que cuesta un polo de marca la verdad. Justamente este caso es el que más se acerca al mercado. Lo que no tiene sentido son 120€ por una camiseta
@gorritazuria_@tarko_athletic Dijeron que en Lezama es raro que cojan a porteros de menos de x altura. Que tienen que destacar muy mucho para ser considerados
