Aurelio De Laurentiis did not like the Super League launched by Florentino and Agnelli.
The Napoli president said that the bianconero "had been wrong", but only because of the development of an idea that he has been thinking about for a long time.
The southern manager talks about a new European competition for more than a decade and today, during an interview in the 'Daily Mail' with a view to the game against Leicester, he expressed himself again in this sense: "The system no longer works.
Champions and Europa League do not generate enough income for the clubs and, to be competitive, you need to spend more.
The prize of the UEFA competitions does not take it into account: the clubs must talk to each other to create a more modern and profitable tournament. "
De Laurentiis' recipe also goes through the domestic leagues:
"We must reduce the number of teams in the championships, and create a European league with a democratic classification system, based on what the clubs achieve in their countries. been studying this project: it would bring 10,000 million euros to European football, but you have to have will and total independence ".
The Neapolitan agrees with Florentino Pérez about the lack of interest in the beautiful game among the youngest:
"If we don't change the rules and improve the show, they will abandon us. People between 8 and 25 years old, according to my survey They stopped watching football and prefer to play with mobile phones. "
De Laurentiis still sees a 'salvation' possible through new technologies: "The desire to see football live in stadiums will not die, but now there are 'virtual stadiums' that can attract billions of people. put them back on the path of the world's greatest and most influential sport. "
