The Blancos president to the newspaper AS: “We didn’t go against the championships, it was all manipulated. But it was better to admit the top 4 of each country “
The president of Real Madrid, the creator and number one supporter of the Superlega, Florentino Perez, does not give up even if he admits to having made mistakes. In an interview with the Spanish newspaper As he reiterated his desire to find a way forward: “It is not true that we were going against national championships or meritocracy, everything has been manipulated. The Super League would be the best possible way to help football out of the crisis, given that it is seriously ill – declared the Blancos number -. The economy of the system is sinking and we must adapt to the times in which we live ”.

Champions

UEFA’s reform of the Champions League does not convince Perez: “What has been done does not solve the problem – continued Perez -, it is not even the best possible solution and we cannot wait that long. Something needs to be done for young people between 14 and 24 because they leave football because they are bored. There are 4 billion football fans around the world and half would like the Super League ”. In closing, a small mea culpa: “Surely we made a mistake, we will make a new lap and compare ideas. Perhaps having the first four of each country participate is a solution, we will see, but something needs to be done. The reality is that if there are more interesting and competitive matches, more money will go to football. And this will be for everyone, not just for a few, because the national championships will be worth much more. “
