Florentino Pérez, president of the Real Madrid and of the next Superliga European, gave the face in 'The Chiringuito of Jugones' and desgranó all the related with this new tournament. The maximum mandator madridista left clear the reason that has carried them to all the clubs to create this competition and also had words against the UEFA by his attitude after knowing the news.

"The important clubs of England, Spain and Italy have to give solution to a situation of the very bad football. The ECA says that they have lost 5.000 millions. The Real Madrid had a budget of 800 million euros and finish in 700. And this year instead of 900, to see if ingresamos 600. The Madrid has left of ingresar 400 millions from the start of the pandemia. When you do not have income further of the television, the way of rentabilizarlo is to do parties more attractive. Like this we begin to work. We arrive to the conclusion that doing a Superliga between week, in place of the Champions, would be able of paliar the stray income", began.

The white president left clear that the pandemia has left to all the big clubs in the ruin and thus it is necessary an impulse like the one of the Superliga to attract to the new young public. "The football has to evolve, as everything. It has to adapt to the times and something it was necessary to do with the pandemia. We are all ruined. The television is the half that it has to change to adapt to the times. 40% of the youngsters do not have interest in the football because there are a lot of parties of scarce quality. Have other platforms", signalled.

For Florentino, this tournament could be the solution in front of the fault of interest in the Champions League and also thinks that the fact that to the rich go them better also will be good for the rest of teams. "We understand that we have to change to do more attractive this sport to world-wide level. To all occurred us . The Champions went losing interest. The FIFA opuso in his moment to the creation of the Glass of Europe and now are in a similar situation. The attractive is that we play between the big. We do it to save the football, that is in a moment critical. What gives money is the television and the money is for all. If the ones of up have money flows downwards", aimed.

Besides, it left clear that the Superliga is not an enclosed league understands, that the big are not insolidarios and that does not understand that the UEFA was bothering by all this. "It is not an enclosed league, is not truth, is opened. We believe in the merits of the teams. We are solidarios. The UEFA ingresa 120 millions. And if we generate more quantity of money the UEFA ingresaría three or four times more. We do it to save the football. We go to speak with the UEFA and with the FIFA, have said it in the communiqué. I do not understand that they anger ", it affirmed.

Florentino loaded against the UEFA

The president merengue loaded against the work of the UEFA and insisted in that it is doing this to help to save the football after the crisis. "The UEFA is working in another format. There is not the one who understand it and does not generate income to save to the football. It is to save to all, no only to the Madrid or to the big. We want to save the football to live with tranquility the next 20 years because the situation is dramatic. The UEFA is a monopoly and has to be transparent. We want to improve and save the football. I am not owner of the Madrid. I went in in the Madrid to save the club and did it desinteresadamente because the economic situation was very bad, the players did not earn. Now we want to help and save to the football", indicated.

Florentino continued his criticism to the UEFA and ensured that they will not throw to Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester City of this Champions. "The UEFA does not have a good image, has to be dialogante and no threatening. They have done a format that does not work . All the world says that it does not work, anybody understands it. In the 2024 will be died. There are clubs that have lost cientos of million euros. In Spain, England and other Leagues. We have offered dialogue. We think that the format will save the football. To the Madrid do not go him to throw of the Champions. To the Madrid neither to anybody. The law protects us. I am entirely sure. The UEFA does not distinguish by his transparency. The monopoly has to finish . The football is in danger. If the big win, all win. It is a pyramid", stood out.

Also it added that the UEFA is not having the correct forms and that is not being manager in front of the crisis originated by the pandemia. "What can not do is to abuse as it has done the one of the UEFA. It seems me unpresentable the of Ceferin, this does not do with Agnelli, that represents to a centenarian institution. We do not want insults. In the democratic Europe can not tolerate this. The new format is for 2024 and in 2024 will be all died. We play us the future of the football. The UEFA is not being manager. We have lost 5.000 millions. We are to the edge the ruin and it is necessary to hold responsible. The football is in free fall", insisted.

Finally, it ensured that the Leagues do not go to run danger by the Superliga and commanded a 'dart' to Javier Thebes, very critical with this project. "There are people that thinks that are institutions are his. We want to help. The League does not go to lose value. In basketball play ACB and Euroliga. At the beginning there were difficulties, but can coexist perfectly. We think that this competition is better. The Premier is rooted. Without the big are less strong repercute to the smallest", finalised.
