Cross explodes: Footballers don't ask, we're just FIFA and UEFA dolls

Real Madrid midfielder Tony Croos has dismissed the idea of the European Superleague, while he has not hesitated to turn criticism into football homes, FIFA and UEFA.

Last month, Barcelona's outgoing president, Josep Maria Bartholomew, confirmed that the club has accepted an invitation to play on a new European Superleague, and this has made a big fuss.

A later report in Diario AS also claims that other major Spanish clubs, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, had agreed to join.

This has left the German midfielder Realty Croos acting angry, as footballers are not asking at all.

Unfortunately, we don't decide as players. We're just FIFA and UEFA dolls”, Crooss originally told the Marca newspaper.

If there were a player union, we would not play a League of Nations or a Supercup of Spain in Saudi Arabia”.

These contests try to absorb everything financially and also squeeze the players physically. But I'm a big quitter like they're going well. The leagues are already extremely demanding along with the Champions League, the World Cup and the”.

“From a sports point of view, it would certainly be interesting because there would only be high-level matches. But the gap between large and small clubs will expand even further”, the German midfielder concluded.
