# Liverpool: Fans laud Dejan Lovren’s tweet

**A number of Liverpool supporters have been praising Dejan Lovren for speaking out against the formation of a European Super League.**

It has been a tough year for football, with the global pandemic taking its toll on the sport. For supporters, the game has been a pale imitation of its former self, with empty stadia making for lifeless atmospheres and poorer spectacles.

From a Liverpool perspective, not having fans inside Anfield has felt significant, playing a part in the Reds’ insipid defence of the Premier League title.

In what is a case of typically poor timing, news broke on Sunday regarding a European Super League, with Liverpool and the rest of the Premier League’s ‘big six’ clubs all [agreeing](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56795811) to join it.

There has been a fierce backlash to the news, and while very few footballers who have spoken out so far, Lovren took to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/Dejan06Lovren/status/1384049609861832706?s=20) to provide his thoughts:

> Football will be in the near future on a brink of complete collapse. Nobody is thinking about the bigger picture, only the financial side.
>
> I still believe we can solve this unpleasant situation.
