Europski koeficijent Ima tu dosta promjena, al meni bi osobno bilo draže da su odjebali ovakav format, pogotovo zato jer se za njega glasalo dan nakon šta su klubovi koji najviše profitiraju od ovakvog formata najavili Superligu.
“there will be at least 33 cup winners that will now have a chance to qualify for the Europa League main round, more than double versus now.”
“ In fact, it is possible that we could end up seeing 75% of the 36 Champions League LP spots go to just 6 countries. Let that sink in. So yes, there is one clear winner here, and those are the biggest leagues.”
“ As for what rank will be crucial, I would say the aim is to at least maintain the status quo of 15th. I would also note that there will be a highly intriguing and also intense battle for 12th spot, which will serve up what I would argue is the biggest change-up to the current access list outside of the 30+ cup winners gaining Europa League access.
I suggested that Ukraine, Norway, Greece, Czechia, Croatia, and Denmark will also be in contention for places 12th through 15th. With six other nations with a legitimate chance of these spots, there will be a lot on the line.”
“ Many people involved in these talks fear that by UEFA adding wildcards into the UCL league phase, they would start off with two, then increase to, say four, by 2027, then eight by 2030, and so on. I agree with them on that front. I think UEFA found a sneaky way to do this by giving two spots in the UCL LP, and by claiming that it could go to anyone, when in reality, we already know which countries will be fighting for those spots, and it will not be the smaller ones.
I think there are some positives and some negatives about these changes. I already highlighted one negative about the wildcard places. I also think that there is too much caving in to what the big leagues want as if they are the only ones that matter (they are not). While UEFA did listen to the smaller countries and made some adjustments to their benefit (mainly the cup winners in UEL qualifying), I still think there is too much caving in to the bigger leagues.”
“I do not like the fact that the UECL will only have six games at the league phase while the other two competitions will have eight. I did not like that, and did reach out to a contact on why that was so. I cannot fully disclose what was said, but my general takeaway is that UEFA once again devalued the competition.“
“ I also would highlight that with there being no more teams dropping down to the lower competition following the league phase, this helps give the smaller clubs a better chance in the Europa Conference League. It will mean that only a maximum of five teams, one from each of the ‘Big 5’ leagues will have an opportunity in the Conference League, which has to be considered a win for clubs from countries like Belgium, Netherlands, Austria, and most of the other sub-topper leagues.”
