Judulnya kayaknya kurang provokatif Nik? Kekekekekek
Bukan cuma di Spanyol tapi kalo gak salah di Belanda juga ada Ajax B atau PSV
B cmiiw.
Kayaknya usulan serupa pernah diusulkan sama Jose Mourinho. Usulan yang
bagus dari perspektif klub besar. Anehnya cuma Rafa dan Jose manajer dari klub
papan atas (big four) yang berani ngomongin ini, itu pun karena mereka bukan
dari Inggris atau negara Britania atau belum lama menetap di Inggris.
Kayaknya usulannya berat diterapkan di Inggris dan banyak tentangan apalagi
dari klub gurem karena ini berkaitan dengan sistem kompetisi mereka yang sudah
turun-temurun dari beberapa generasi kekekeke.

Brighton chief 'insulted' by Benitez's reserves plan
Brighton chairman Dick Knight believes Rafael Benitez's proposal for
reserve teams to play in the Football League is 'insulting'.
The Liverpool boss is concerned his second string are paying the
price for an ineffective reserve league and believes they would
benefit from competitive action in the Football League - an idea
mooted by Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho in December.
Reserve teams play in lower league competition throughout continental
Europe, but the restructuring would inevitably mean the Football
League would lose some established clubs.
'Rafa is insulting the history and the stature of the Football
League,' Knight said.
'It's up to the Premier League clubs and the Academy bosses to sort
out a reserve league which is competitive. The current Academy system
is very haphazard.
'I've got great admiration for Rafa but this idea just shows the
increasing gulf between the top clubs and the lower division clubs
like mine who have been around for 106 years and shouldn't have to be
insulted like this.
'The fact Rafa has the gall to suggest this is the same reason clubs
like his are allowed to permission move from a 45,000-seater stadium
to one that holds 65,000 straight away and a club like ours doesn't
have a home and has been waiting 11 years to be allowed one.
'Besides, we've been to Anfield and beaten the Liverpool first team
on a number of occasions over the last 20 years, so why the hell
should we be insulted by having to play their reserves?'
Mansfield manager Billy Dearden fears 'plenty of players' would be
out of work if Benitez's proposal came to fruition.
Dearden's League Two side would potentially be among those forced
down the football ladder to accommodate the new teams, and he is
worried that English football's landscape would be permanently
scarred by any such innovation.
He said: 'It's a silly idea - out of order really. We are getting
knocked about by people who are not from our football world.
'It has never been this way in English football. It would change
everything.
'Sure, their players would play in a competitive league, but what
about the rest of us? Clubs would be forced down the divisions and
plenty of players would be out of work. If we're playing in the
Conference, we can't keep paying everyone the same. It doesn't work.
'There's always been reserve football and there's always been lower
leagues.
'Now this guy wants to change things around. It's a bit out of order -
I don't go along with it.'

Hm Rafa kebiasaan di Spanyol kali yaks? dimana 1 klub bisa punya
banyak tim yg berlaga di setiap level yg berbeda di kompetisi negara
tersebut, meski gak bisa promosi untuk berlaga di kompetisi yg sama
dengan tim utamanya...
