“The Super League is freedom, that the clubs are masters of their destiny”
MADRID, 20 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The president of Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez, opened the Ordinary General Assembly this Saturday with a detailed report on the club’s situation and a special review of international and national news, where he valued the Super League “as freedom” and highlighted the “very serious irregularities “of LaLiga’s operation with the CVC investment fund.
“It is not simply a new tournament, it is trying to change the current dynamics of football because if we do nothing it will die little by little. The Super League is freedom, that the clubs are masters of our destiny,” Florentino said in his speech.
The president’s report opened the Assembly with 481 in-person delegates and 1,123 online, and the hottest topics were left for last. The top leader of the white club discussed the European Super League, what happened in recent months and the attacks by UEFA that remain without effect in the courts.
“You still have to remind UEFA who Real Madrid is. Remind them of the history of Real Madrid. Since its foundation, it has participated in all the necessary innovations over the years. It was the only club in the world to found FIFA and was also promoter of the European Cup “, he pointed out.
Florentino insisted on what was said since the Super League became official in April, emphasizing that it is about “financial fair play”, against clubs that “receive financial support from states and lead football to ruin” , “transparency”, “solidarity” and “respect for national competitions”.
“The abundance of entertainment that young people have is displacing football. Unattractive matches alienate the public. The competition format will be permanently open to what the global fans demand. These issues have been on the table for a long time. We are the clubs It is not UEFA who bear the costs and risks. The economic crisis due to the pandemic forced us to react immediately, “he added.
