F. Perez: "We Just Tried to Save Football" © „Reuters“

The president of the collapsed European Super League, Florentino Perez, continues to loudly criticize the UEFA system and is preparing to further develop the idea of a new league. Speaking to "El Larguero," the president of Real Madrid expressed regret that English clubs decided to withdraw from the Super League, but stated that the teams will look for other ways to restructure the European football pyramid. "UEFA organized such a show that I really did not expect. It seemed like we dropped an atomic bomb or something similar. What did we do wrong? Maybe the presentation wasn't the best, but they could have at least given us the opportunity to speak. It's not fair when 14 Premier League clubs win, and others - lose or the big Spanish clubs lose money and the small ones earn it. There is a certain pyramid in football. If there is money at the top, it should trickle down to all teams. In tennis, the most attention is given to matches when Roger Federer plays against Rafael Nadal. People don't go watch matches when Nadal plays with the 80th world ranking player. I have never seen such aggression from the UEFA president and the big European leagues. We were insulted as if we had killed this sport. We were just trying to save football," F. Perez said.
