El Pais has published a vitriolic article against Andrea Agnelli. The Juventus president is belittled and called a “minor character” in the family and in European football
Despite the substantial failure of the Superleague project, the issue still holds sway in several countries also by virtue of UEFA’s threats against the founding clubs. The teams most at risk of sanctions are Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus. The Juventus president, Andrea Agnelli, was described by UEFA number one, Aleksander Ceferin, as a liar and even “flat-earther”. Yesterday the Spanish newspaper El Pais dedicated an article to Andrea Agnelli by Daniel Verdù and with the controversial title “A stain on the Agnelli legend”.
El Pais humiliates Andrea Agnelli: “A minor character of the dynasty. Superleague too big a feat even for his surname”
“He is the only one of his generation who has managed to perpetuate the noble surname, but his exploits – nor his physique – have never been the most extraordinary of the family. – writes the Spanish journalist – La Superliga, in which Florentino Pérez he embarked, it was an opportunity to make his mark with a project that would revolutionize sport “.
El Pais defines him as “a minor character of the dynasty” who, despite having brought Juventus back to the top of Italian and European football with nine Scudetti in a row and two Champions League finals after the fall in Serie B with the Superleague project, would have taken the most long of the leg.
“Andrea Agnelli has always wanted to live up to the legend of his surname. – continues the Spanish newspaper – The Superleague was the great opportunity to make his mark. Also for the next capital increase of the club. Those who know him say that the family had been informed of the operation and had approved it. There should be no alternations. The general idea in Italy is that Agnelli, who had been secretly conspiring for some time, has entered a company that is too big even for his surname. While Florentino Pérez hasn’t even been disheveled since what happened, it could cost the Juventus president his career. “
