It began leaving clear that the Superliga nowadays is more alive that never. "It is a long way, but have the humility to do it step by step but without pause. Today it has been an important step when communicating our intentions and when inviting to the European football to a dialogue. Us ilusiona see the open doors to the dialogue. The Superliga is very alive, there is some that they want to declare that it is died but if they say it a lot, a lot is necessary to suspect. There are clubs in Europe that sure that share the vision of Juventus, Real Madrid and Barcelona and now has the opportunity to contribute what think", sentenced.

Besides, it took advantage of to express that the UEFA is had to have a conversation although it still does not exist a concrete date.

We tend the hand to all the family of the football, further of the UEFA. There is a wide consensus that the football needs reforms. The football can not follow as it is designed now. It is a bit speculation, since we do not want to put date to the dialogue. When it have a real certainty of the European Court, will be little reasonable to think that it play before the season 2024/25", affirmed the German.

I consider that it is important to stick to the youngsters to the parties in direct and with transcendence. The Madrid-Barça four or five times to the year sticks a lot and does a lot for expanding the football by the world. The football is the big sportive event of envergadura global, how many sports have this passion in the whole world?", it exclaimed.
