The establishment of the new league continues to make huge headlines.
As you may recall, 12 huge clubs signed a new "Super League" yesterday in place of the UEFA Champions League starting next season - and started a world war in European football. Hours after the official announcement, UEFA announced that players from the new factory will not be able to participate in the World Cup and Euro and the mess In progress.
The one who shed light this morning (Tuesday) on the new venture is Florentino Perez, the president of Real Madrid who stands among the initiators of the new league and in an interview with the program "El Cheringito" in Spain, explained his doctrine and also what made him lead the historic revolution.
"A bad situation has arisen for us, he explained in his opening remarks," I can tell you that Real Madrid have lost 400 million euros this season.
Now, when there is no revenue, then it is important to bring more attractive games.
The Super League will save the clubs, we need to maximize our profits. "
"It really will not be a closed league, it's a complete lie. Every season there will be teams that will earn their place in the new league. Any team can apply to join, I think it will be great for all clubs, not just the high elite of teams. The new format of the Champions League Will not save football. UEFA is a monopoly.
I think the monopoly is over, it's time for a new era.
We are not anyone's property. "
Florentino Perez to El Chiringuito: "Here at Real Madrid we've lost a lot of money, we are all going through a very bad situation. When there is no profit, the only way is to play more competitive games during the week. The #SuperLeague will save the clubs financially ".

The songwriter continued to fire: "It's no secret that the UEFA failed to save football.
It now appears that in the next 20 years we will be able to live in peace.
We believe in a format that will save world football, just as the European Cup saved football in the 1950s.
The biggest clubs in England, Spain and Italy needed something to solve the terrible situation they were in.
In Real, we have lost 400 million euros in the last two years.
Now our goal is to get started as soon as possible, I think the UEFA threats will not be carried out.
Florentino Perez: "Football must evolve like everything in life. Football has to adapt to the times we live in now. Football is losing interest, TV rights are decreasing. We wanted to do the #SuperLeague, the pandemic has given us urgency: now we are all ruined in football ".

"The Champions League? In fact, it only creates interest from the quarter-finals. No more than that. Football must change and develop, it's no secret that the young people lost interest in football. We had to do something, the epidemic also accelerated the process. Let the biggest teams play, we do the "Our best for the industry. I can also guarantee that no player will be suspended from the World Cup."
