Oh Florentino Florentino: This is how the football world looks through Peres' eyes

It's been a week of shit: Real Madrid president thinks football's boring.

The president of the UEFA thinks they were "snakes and greedy".

A pampered Italian heir cooperates with a billion from the Gulf and lies to his friend.

The truth has been revealed: they are crooks, we are the suckers

Lied inside to a friend.

Anyone surprised?

An important rule in maintaining a healthy relationship is "Do not say things you will later regret."

Do not let yourself get carried away in a fight, try to remember that it is only temporary.

Do not get dirty, do not get upset, do not go down too low for insults and personal injuries, do not burn everything, soon everything will pass and calm down, there are words that may stay in the air forever.

This week the heads of world football unloaded every yoke in the context of the Super League crisis and ignored this basic rule, firing slime all over the place, filming everything around them and revealing truth that would be difficult to recover from.

The great damage was done.

Everyone came out bad.

More on Walla!

Florentino Perez: "The Super League idea is not over. If it is not, there will be another league"

To the full article

The man who admitted that he is waiting for the price to go up before buying players and paying them tens of millions - complains that football is in trouble.

The highlight was the attack by UEFA President Alexander Chaprin, who called the chairmen of Manchester United and Juventus "snakes" and "greedy". A bad personal attack, of a man who feels betrayed, feels the ground falling under his feet (sorry about The dramatic clichés, this week it was really legitimate to use them all), and now avenges live, burns all the bridges, go to hell.Snakes and greedy, no less.Chaperin tells Woodward called him, told him he was happy with the Champions League reform, and all this when in fact he He's already signed an agreement on the Super League, lie after lie.He talked to Andrea Aneili - the man who saw him as a friend, who asked him to be his daughter's godfather - and Aneili reassures him, tells him there's nothing, then the Super League initiative is published, and he turns off the phone and disappears "I have never seen such people in my life," Chaprin said, "and I have been a criminal lawyer for 24 years."

At the same time there is Florentino Perez, who because he is disconnected is even a little cute, or at least amusing in his lack of awareness.

The thinker of the Galacticos program, who is waiting for the price to rise to buy a player at his peak, the man who once said he hopes the most expensive footballer in the world will always be on his team - now he does not understand how small and large teams can lose hundreds of millions.

So on the way, to advance his plan, he does not hesitate to kill football, slander and eulogize the industry.

He has no shame in saying that the game has become boring, that the youngsters are abandoning the game, the Champions League is a complete format (while his team prepares for the semi-finals), that no one wants to watch Barcelona against Elche in the league, zero shame or self-awareness when talking about huge losses And immediately afterwards answers questions about the acquisition of Ambape and Holland.

For his part, he is trying to save the industry.

Super League storm: the shock, the protest and the folding

Is it possible to believe him?

Football fans have long been naive, each of us already getting his slap, hurt by a player, amazed at the conduct of a team or agent, disgusted by the trade and money in every window again - but this week did deep damage, only exacerbating the industry’s corrupt image. The rich look even more greedy than they were before. The executives look more cunning, conspiracy theorists in rooms. A sense that the game is run by ruthless suit people who play with history and are willing to destroy tradition for more power and more money. You imagine their secret meetings, like evil axis people, bastards who know they are bastards.

But not only dirt and lies, not only dark acts behind the back - but also amateurish conduct, lack of understanding of the terrain and the forces that drive the game. Drop a bomb, and peek to see what happens. Lack of sensitivity to fans, lack of transparency with the general public and the media, lack of coordination, agreements and statements whose legal validity is unclear, lack of understanding of the consequences and risks and harm - so a multi-billion dollar initiative crumbles within 48 hours. That is, not only liars and greedy, but also clowns.

Florentino Perez admitted: "We did not anticipate the intensity of the reaction, they tried to eliminate us."

They may not have anticipated the intensity of the reaction because they did not understand its essence.

Do not understand the logic behind it.

Sublime in their understanding, all this archaic fondness of people for traditional football and league structure, with small teams and communities.

Who cares about this nonsense, want to sell shirts.

Completely detached from the essence.

From the base.

So they did not share the fans, did not consult with the coaches, did not even update their CEOs, just came out assuming the money would dazzle us all.

Slightly reminiscent of David Federman's quotes about Ness Ziona, the team that yesterday showed more heart and joy than what Maccabi Tel Aviv showed all season.

Everyone tries to get the most out of it, and who pays in the end?

The cultural gaps have never been more pronounced, with the American owners of United, Liverpool and Arsenal not so much understanding the English section. On the other hand, a definite common denominator for rich Italians and Catalans, from the Gulf and London, who want more. The apologies that followed were already too late. Your true face has already been revealed. Your plans have been discovered. More than that, many names were welcomed. Familiar characters have become real. Woodward, Aneili, Gazidis, Kronki, Henry - names that were always familiar but were just archetypes - the symbols of sabotage, detachment and greed - are now becoming real human beings. These are not just clichés and dark figures behind the scenes, but a corrupt American, a spoiled Italian heir, all people. The managers, the bosses, pulling the strings.

Now the question is who can be trusted.

Certainly not about UEFA and FIFA.

Not about Chaprin and Infantino.

Not on the heads of the leagues, not on the heads of the teams, they all seem to have interests.

Not on the players themselves, not on their agents, while Mino Raiola makes a Cork tour in Spain and England looking for the grandiose offer on the Netherlands.

The only ones who came out well from the story are some "romantic" football fans who went out to demonstrate, even though they know that their innocence and blind love is the economic basis that drives all the "snakes and greedy".
