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. ”

The economic pyramid – “It will become a pyramid because we the big clubs will have more money and we will be able to invest it by buying players … If the big clubs lose their money as it happens, the entire football system collapses, as is the case with the Champions League.”

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 » .

Players and Citizens – “Players from international competitions and national teams are banned, according to UEFA? Don’t worry, it won’t. They will not be prevented from joining the Premier League. ”

Contests prohibited – Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester City will not be excluded from the Champions League. No one will be banned from the UEFA Champions League or National Leagues. 100%, I’m sure. No way. Teams now participating in European Cups will not be disqualified, I can guarantee you 100%. Real Madrid and other SuperLeague clubs will not be excluded from the 2020/2021 UEFA Champions League. It will not happen, the law protects us. It is impossible. “

Boris Johnson – Boris Johnson said he would do everything to cancel the Premier League because they made it clear to him that the Premier League would disappear: This is a mistake, this is not true. Everything will return to normal. ”

FIFA and UEFA – “We want to start as soon as possible. “We’ll talk to UEFA and FIFA, but they shouldn’t be angry, they know that.”

Barcelona – «Barcelona is going through a difficult economic situation, and Laporta understood and immediately accepted it like all the top clubs in the world. This Premier League will save the entire football world. ”

Champions – “The Champions League is attractive from the quarter-finals, the rest is of little importance. “If we do that all season with five games on Tuesday and five more on Wednesday, he is unbeaten.”

We are not waiting for anyone because we are in need. ”

MBAPPE– “Fans are always asking me to buy my Mbappe. My answer? I say don’t worry … the truth is he’s a good player, yeah. I never talked to Mbappe. At least for now. I don’t know what will happen to his contract with Paris Saint-Germain. ”
