Florentino PerezThe president of the Super League and Real Madrid talks about the new European competition for microphones Beach bar. His sayings.
Premier League “Many important clubs in Spain, Italy and the UK want to find a solution to a very bad financial situation. The only way is to play more competitive games. Instead of playing the Champions League, the Premier League helps clubs make up for lost profits. Here at Real Madrid we lost a lot of money and we are in a very bad situation. When there is no profit, the only way is to play more competitive matches during the week. Superleague will save clubs financially. We alone lost € 400m, and nothing has been done about it. The more competitive the matches, the more revenue it will generate for the clubs and this is how we will overcome this situation. The Premier League is the solution, football must change. ”
Young – “40% of young people are not interested in football, because there are a lot of low-quality games. And we had to adapt. Fans aged 16-24 are not interested in football. “If young people find football matches too long, it may be because it is not enjoyable enough … or maybe we should shorten football matches.”
Football must change – “Football should evolve like everything in life. Football must adapt to the times we live in now. Football is losing interest, and television rights are diminishing. We wanted to join the Premier League, the pandemic gave us the urgency: now in football it has destroyed us all. Football needs to change to become more attractive in the world. Instead of doing the Champions League because he lost interest like it had in 1950, change came and even then FIFA and UEFA were against it. But this is how football changed. ”

UEFA – “We will talk with UEFA, as we said in the statement. We have to discuss with UEFA the five available seats in the Premier League. UEFA is working on the new format for the Champions League but I honestly don’t understand that. We want to save a ball.” Football. UEFA is a monopoly but it has to be more transparent. We want to save football for the next 20 years, it is in a time of grave danger. If you win, you will receive 120 to 130 million euros from UEFA, but with the Super League we will win a lot more » .
