Madrid (Spain), 25 June 2021 – The Super League is more alive than ever. Word of Florentino Perez. The president of Real Madrid, to the microphones of the Spanish radio “Onda Cero”, again addressed the Superlega theme, reiterating that the project goes ahead and the importance of attracting fans to create something lasting and economically profitable: “The project is not It has failed. We have been working for at least two years to create a format capable of saving football that is dying and losing interest. People follow him less and less due to the lack of interest aroused by so many games and, if there is no audience, the revenues from television rights also drop. We do not want the exclusion of someone but not everyone can be part of the Super League. A match like Roma-Sampdoria arouses less interest than Manchester United-PSG. The fans are in charge and Manchester has more than Rome and we include those who have the most fans because this is what the televisions are asking of us. We still have to organize various aspects but what is certain is that it will not be a closed competition and that the championships will remain intact ”.
The possible penalties and the jab at Ceferin
Perez then said he was sure that the clubs participating in the project cannot receive sanctions from the UEFA: “There is no need to worry because we have already won some battles. The English teams left because they were forced to by FIFA, but they signed something they shouldn’t have signed as they had previously bound themselves to the Super League. The courts have already denied the possibility of imposing sanctions. Why can’t we create in football what was created in basketball with the birth of the Euroleague? ”. Finally, Real’s number one did not spare the UEFA president a thrust, Alexander Ceferin: “We haven’t spoken to each other anymore. There are those who want to keep privileges while football is dying ”. Everyone loses money and he increases his salary “.
