Abstract

ABSTRACT Whilst there is a romantic myth that the European Cup was developed for sporting reasons, power, nationalism and money were significant factors. Since the formation of the European Cup in 1955, European competitions have grown in prestige and finances. The spectre of a breakaway Super League has been used repeatedly to assert the power of elite clubs. In 1992, the result was the Champions League which established a league format providing more televised games, more money and more opportunity for larger clubs to proceed in the competition. The threat of a Super League led UEFA to redesign the format of the Champions League to privilege larger clubs. Despite this, a Super League was still announced, before facing widespread resistance. This article sets up the special issue by contextualising the current Champions League in the aftermath of the Super League.

简介:“一个幽灵正在欧洲足坛徘徊——欧洲超级联赛的幽灵。”

虽然有一种浪漫的神话，认为欧洲杯的发展是为了体育的原因，但权力、民族主义和金钱是重要的因素。自1955年欧洲杯成立以来，欧洲赛事在声望和资金方面都有所提高。超级联赛分离的幽灵已经被反复用来维护精英俱乐部的权力。1992年的结果是欧洲冠军联赛，它建立了一种联赛形式，为大俱乐部提供了更多的电视转播比赛，更多的钱和更多的机会。面对超级联赛的威胁，欧足联重新设计了欧洲冠军联赛的赛制，以使大型俱乐部获得特权。尽管如此，在遭到广泛抵制之前，超级联赛仍然宣布成立。这篇文章通过将当前的冠军联赛置于超级联赛之后的背景中来设置这个特刊。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
