Fernandinho delighted to see football’s victory as ESL fails
Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho believes football has emerged victorious following the failure of the breakaway European Super League.
City were the first of the 12 Founding Clubs to announce their decision to withdraw from the breakaway tournament after condemnation of the plans.
And after
Man City’s 2-1 victory over
Aston Villaon Wednesday,
Fernandinho
confirmed he was delighted to see the Super League collapse.
“It’s been crazy since Saturday after the Chelsea defeat in the FA Cup – the guys were a bit down and then on Monday the Super League comes out and we were surprised,”
he told
Sky Sports.
“We didn’t expect it but eventually they had good sense and it was the right thing to do. Everyone who loves football didn’t support the Super League including our players so we’re happy now that it’s turned around, but it was a surprise.
"It’s a tough situation, we wanted to find out from the people at the top of the club to see the reasons why they are there with the other clubs.
“We wanted to come out and say we are against it but we had to have a chat among the players and we all agreed to wait for the club statement. We are happy in the end because football wins.”
