The president of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez, held a meeting of all sections of the “royal club” where he spoke about the “disease” of football.
Perez, one of the loudest proponents of the failed idea of the European Super League before the start of the new competitive year, summarized his impressions and achievements and announced new successes.
However, the president of Real could not help but touch on the state of football throughout Europe, repeating the position that UEFA does not listen to the ideas presented to them, and he used an analogy with tennis.
- The new model proposed by UEFA will only make the problem worse… If UEFA was responsible for world tennis, we would see matches between Nadal and Federer only two or three times a year. Football is sick. Young people are less and less interested in this sport. We are losing the global battle for entertainment – said Perez.
He didn’t stop there, he used the example of Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic to criticize people who say that the matches of the greats in the Super League would be boring.
- Nadal and Djokovic have met 59 times. Were their matches boring? Real and Liverpool – only nine times in 67 years. What is the point of depriving the fans of such games?
In the end, Perez answered the president of Paris Saint-Germain, Nasal AL-Khelafi, who is the biggest critic of the Super League.
– Al-Kelaifi says that Real started the story of the European Super League because it is afraid of competition. I just have to remind him that Real Madrid is the most successful club in the history of sports.
