In front of the increasing controversial, the president of the Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez, went out in defence of his project of the Superliga European and refused the criticisms to the same denying that this go to be harmful for the local tournaments.
"It is that they are not truth neither a thing neither the another, but has manipulated everything. Neither it is a plan excluyente neither goes against the leagues. The project Superliga is the best possible, and has done to help to the football to go out of the crisis. The football is gravely injured because his economy sinks and it is necessary to adapt to the period that live", ensured Florentino in an interview given daily ACE.
It added that the changes of the UEFA are not sufficient, to the time in that it ensured that the football needs an urgent reform and that can not expect three years for this. "The Superliga does not go against the domestic championships and has like aim that flow more money for all the football. It has thought to give him more interest to the parties. And I think that the new reform of the UEFA neither gives solution to the problem because what has presented not even is better of what there is. And besides we can not expect until the 2024".
And it added: "Something will have done badly. We go to give him a turn and to confrontar ideas. Probably the that they play the four first of each country is the solution. I do not know, but something it is necessary to do because the youth, between the 14 and 24 years, is abandoning the football because it bores them in front of other entertainments that they prefer. There is four thousand million fans of the football delivered by all the world and the half of them are fanatical of the clubs of the Superliga. The football is the only global sport".
Alert of the crisis
Florentino, alerted on the increasing economic crisis that ail to a lot of teams, and that, of not to resolve, a lot of clubs will go to the failure. "We go to the data: the report of the consulting KPMG, only in the three months of pandemia that affected to the past season, launched losses of the twelve clubs of the Superliga by 650 million euros. This year, with the complete season in pandemia, the losses will go to between 2.000 and 2.500 million euros. The Girondins finish to go to the failure. Or we do something prompt or will break a lot of clubs".
Finally, descartó that said project prejudice to the national tournaments, since it expects that the Superliga give to help to the same and to revalorizarlos. "The reality is that if there are parties more interesting and competitive will go in more money in the football. And this will be for all, no only for some, because the national leagues will cost much more. And besides we have important quantities for the solidarity, that is a very important pillar of the project".
