Tha a’ bhuidheann a tha a’ riochdachadh ceudan de sgiobaidhean ball-coise Eòrpach a’ toirt a-steach Liverpool, Manchester Metropolis agus Bayern Munich air cur às don tagradh as ùire gus pròiseact Tremendous League Eòrpach ath-bheothachadh mar iomairt “buaireadh” air a stiùireadh le “clubaichean fèin-ùidh separatist”.
Tha Sky Information air meòrachan fhaighinn a chaidh a chuairteachadh gu bòrd Comann Cluba na h-Eòrpa (ECA) leis a’ cheann-suidhe aige, ceannard Paris Saint-Germani Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, anns a bheil e a’ casaid ailtirean an Lìog Unify ath-bhranndaichte de “gu mòr crav[ing]”sanasachd.
Tha an teachdaireachd làidir, nach deach fhoillseachadh gu poblach, a’ daingneachadh an dà chuid na sgàinidhean domhainn a tha fhathast ann eadar cuid de elite ball-coise na h-Eòrpa agus na dùbhlain a tha romhpa A22, a’ bhuidheann a tha air cùl a’ phròiseict ùir, ann a bhith a’ faighinn farpais cho-fharpaiseach air an talamh.
Thuirt A22 an t-seachdain search engine optimisation gu robh Lìog Unify – a bhiodh air a dhealbhadh gus farpais Lìog na h-Eòrpa UEFA a thoirt thairis – air molaidhean a chuir a-steach airson lìog 96-sgioba, ceithir-roinnean gu FIFA agus UEFA.
Tha iad an dùil na geamannan a shealltainn air àrd-ùrlar sruthadh saor-gu-adhair sònraichte seach a bhith a’ reic chòraichean do chom-pàirtichean craolaidh.
Chaidh am pròiseact Tremendous League Eòrpach tùsail (ESL), a chaidh mion-fhiosrachadh mun deidhinn fhoillseachadh a-mhàin le Sky Information as t-fhoghar 2020, a bhacadh gu h-èifeachdach le UEFA, le co-dhùnadh Cùirt Ceartais na h-Eòrpa an-uiridh a’ co-dhùnadh gu robh a’ bhileag sin air a bhith mì-laghail.
Chaidh sia clubaichean Prìomh Lìog Shasainn – Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester Metropolis, Manchester United agus Tottenham Hotspur – a-steach do na h-ìrean ESL tùsail, ach tharraing iad air ais gu sgiobalta às deidh cùl-taic mòr bho luchd-leantainn agus luchd-poilitigs.
Tha plana nan clubaichean airson pàirt a ghabhail air fhaicinn mar aon de na prìomh luchd-brosnachaidh airson riaghlaiche ball-coise Sasannach ùr a chruthachadh, far a bheil an riaghaltas an-dràsta a’ fastadh cathraiche ùr.
Chaidh càin a chuir air na sia sgiobaidhean Sasannach le UEFA agus am Prìomh Lìog, agus gheall iad gun a bhith a’ leantainn pròiseact coltach ris san àm ri teachd.
Bha Juventus agus Actual Madrid cuideachd nan luchd-taic do bhriseadh ESL, agus chaidh am plana tùsail aca a lagachadh le nàdar dùinte na lìog ùr – a tha A22 ag ràdh a chaidh dèiligeadh ris leis a’ chruth ùr a chaidh fhoillseachadh an t-seachdain search engine optimisation.
Bho chaidh am pròiseact ESL tùsail ainmeachadh gu foirmeil sa Ghiblean 2021, tha buidheann riaghlaidh ball-coise na cruinne, FIFA, air mion-fhiosrachadh ainmeachadh mu Chupa na Cruinne Membership leudaichte, a thèid a chumail an ath shamhradh agus a thèid a chraoladh an-asgaidh air an àrd-ùrlar sruthadh spòrs DAZN.
Anns a mheòrachan gu bòrd ECA an t-seachdain search engine optimisation, thug Mgr Al-Khelaifi ainm air A22 mar “chompanaidh comhairleachaidh ag obair dha Actual Madrid”, ag ràdh: “Is e search engine optimisation an treas àm Nollaige far a bheil comhairlichean riaghlaidh gu tur neo-riochdachail agus clubaichean fèin-ùidh separatist air feuchainn ri briseadh sìos. suas ball-coise Eòrpach agus cruinne, gach uair le pròiseact air atharrachadh beagan agus ath-bhranndadh, ach an-còmhnaidh le taic bho na h-aon brosnachaidhean agus air a chruthachadh a-mhàin airson am buannachd fhèin.”
Thuirt cathraiche an ECA gu robh e “ann an conaltradh cunbhalach le UEFA, FIFA agus luchd-ùidh eile, agus gu dearbh ar buill, air a’ chùis search engine optimisation – mar a tha an sgioba riaghlaidh againn ”.
Thuirt e nach robh moladh Lìog Unify “dad ùr idir” agus “dìreach an fheadhainn as ùire ann an sreath fhada de dh’ oidhirpean PR le A22 gus aire a tharraing chun adhbhar aimhreiteach aca, a tha gu bhith a’ lagachadh a’ chom-pàirteachas cuideachail agus adhartach a tha aig ECA le UEFA “. .
“Mar fhreagairt do iomairt conaltraidh sineach an-aghaidh ball-coise cluba Eòrpach, feumaidh sinn a bhith glic – agus dèanamh cinnteach gu bheil fios aig a h-uile ball den chluba 731 againn air ar suidheachadh agus air an fhìrinn,” sgrìobh e.
“Nì UEFA agus FIFA, airson an cuid fhèin, ath-sgrùdadh air a’ chonaltradh as ùire bhon A22 agus freagraidh iad – dìreach ma tha sin riatanach – sa Bhliadhn ’Ùr.”
Chomharraich aon neach-dìon ball-coise an dàimh dlùth eadar Mgr Al-Khelaifi agus Aleksander Ceferin, ceann-suidhe UEFA, mar aon de na factaran a tha mar bhunait air neart freagairt an ECA don Lìog Unify.
Chuir Mgr Al-Khelaifi, a tha am measg nan daoine as cumhachdaiche ann am ball-coise an t-saoghail, às leth an A22 gun robh “dìmeas soilleir” aige air riaghailtean seasmhachd ionmhais an spòrs, “a tha cho cudromach ann a bhith a’ dèanamh cinnteach à cothromachadh farpaiseach agus smachdan ”.
Thuirt e cuideachd nach robh luchd-taic Lìog Unify air a bhith follaiseach mu “cò dha-rìribh a bhios gan ruith agus gam maoineachadh”, ag ràdh gum biodh na planaichean aca a’ lagachadh lìogan ball-coise nàiseanta na h-Eòrpa.
“Tha iad ag argamaid gu bheil cruth gnàthach nan UCCn a’ leantainn gu builean a tha dùil agus a’ lughdachadh toileachas don luchd-èisteachd, ach chan eil an fhìrinn – às deidh dìreach beagan mhìosan bho chaidh na cruthan ùra UCC a chuir air bhog – dìreach fìor; fhad ‘s a tha am moladh aca gu ìre mhòr mar an ceudna. , dìreach le [fewer] sgiobaidhean,” thuirt e ri buill a’ bhùird.
“Bidh iad cuideachd a’ cruinneachadh an-aghaidh mìosachan dùmhail, agus aig an aon àm a ’moladh gun dad idir a dh’ atharraicheas search engine optimisation.”
Thuirt Bernd Reichart, Ceannard A22, an t-seachdain search engine optimisation gu robh e “ag amas air dèanamh cinnteach à fàs seasmhach agus leasachadh ball-coise”.
“Dh’ fhoillsich ar conaltradh farsaing le prìomh luchd-ùidh grunn dhùbhlain èiginneach mu choinneamh an spòrs a’ toirt a-steach àrdachadh ann an cosgaisean ballrachd airson luchd-leantainn, mìosachan cluicheadair le cus cuideim, tasgadh gu leòr ann am ball-coise nam ban, agus mì-riarachas le cruth agus riaghladh nam farpaisean pan-Eòrpach a th’ ann an-dràsta.
“Tha am moladh againn air a dhealbhadh gus dèiligeadh gu dìreach ris na dùbhlain sin.”
