Most shocking moments of the interview with Florentino Pérez

Since the Super League took shape this Sunday, an explanation was needed. And no one better than the top leader of it, Florentino Pérez, to shed light about the new project. The president of Real Madrid gave an interview to 'El Chiringuito' in which he revealed the reasons that have led the twelve founders to distance themselves from the current Champions League to “save football”, in the words of Florentino himself.

“The ECA says that 5,000 million have been lost. Madrid had a budget of 800 and we ended up in 700. And this year instead of 900, to see if we enter 600. There are 400 million only Madrid “, he began explaining. “When you have no income beyond television, the way to make it profitable is to make more attractive matches. That's how we start working,” he continued. The Super League is something that has been around for a long time, but the ravages caused by COVID-19 have accelerated its creation. The “we are ruined” What Florentino said at some point in his speech is a good example of the needs of the clubs.

“We are ruined”

He was especially critical of UEFA and Ceferin. “UEFA is a monopoly, it should be more transparent. We really want to save football”, was his first errand. “Of course UEFA is a monopoly. It must be transparent, it does not have a good image throughout history, I do not want to mention things … They do not have to threaten anyone,” he added in reference to the war he has declared the European body to Super League clubs and their players.

Thebes also had its dose of prominence due to allusions, as it uploaded on social networks against this new project. “Bar decisions? I have never been to one, I am a teetotaler. The style says a lot, it should not be said that way. We are talking about something very serious, football, with 4 billion fans. And this group represents 2000 million fans, “wielded a Florentine who made it clear that the presidency matters little to him:” I'll give it to anyone, Laporta, Agnelli … Whoever wants. “

Although how could it be otherwise, Real Madrid also appeared on the scene and with him possible signings such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Mbappé. From the Portuguese, Florentino made it clear what will happen: “Come back Cristiano? No. He has a contract with Juventus. I love him a lot, he has given us a lot. But it doesn't make sense for him to come back.”.

However, with the Frenchman from PSG he changed the speech: “Look, I go with the mask and I hear 'Mbappé sign up'. What do I answer? Take it easy … The truth is that he is a very good player. Madrid need a change (…). I haven't talked to him … At least today. Just kidding. I can assure you that I have not spoken to him in years. I only know what I read in the newspapers. “Regarding the arrival of Mbappé, the name of Vinicius appeared, to the liking of Leonardo and PSG, so it has been rumored that he could enter the operation, although the white president does not think so like this: “Not for sale. It is not touched “.

Meanwhile, the names of Ramos and Zidane, whose continuity has been discussed at times, also had contrary words. “I also love him very much but we are in a very bad situation. We have to be realistic. Now we are all very bad.”, began with the camero. “I have not said that (that I am not going to continue). We are thinking about the end of this season, then we will see what happens next. Many things can happen (…). Many players and many lower their salary Some have already downloaded it, specifically the two who have left, Jovic and Odegaard. (Ramos) Last year he accepted. This year he is in a different situation … “, he indicated.

“The best coach we've ever had. A legend. He has a personality that almost happens to him like me, who can't stand press conferences. He doesn't say anything, he's happy … As he says, you never know. He has a valid contract, “he said about Zidane. While he also remembered José Mourinho, recently fired from Tottenham.: “It raised competitiveness in the three years it was. That gene that put us in I will always thank him. Before they eliminated us in the second round. “Florentino said much more, but this was the highlight and forceful of an interview that will surely bring a tail all over the planet.

“Last year he accepted. This year he is in a different situation …”
