Florentino Perez is one of the most talked about and criticized characters in current football. The president of Real Madrid has recently been the subject of heated debate over the idea of a European Super League. He also said that the length of the football match will be reduced this time.
Florentino Perez, president of Real Madrid and chairman of the proposed European Super League, has suggested that matches be shortened to restore the young generation's interest in football.
74 years old Perez claims that, the coronavirus pandemic is reducing incomes and at the same time saving football.
Perez, who was recently elected unopposed to Madrid for another four years, spoke about the Super League in an interview on Spanish television on Monday (April 19th).
"Football needs to change and adapt," he said. "We need to analyze that 40 per cent of young people between the ages of 16 and 24 are not interested in football." Why? Because there are a lot of low quality games, moreover they have different entertainment platforms. '
"It's a reality," Perez said. Their comment is too long. If we want to save football, we need to make some changes. In fact sometimes we don’t want to understand the needs of our children or grandchildren.
They are different generations, their worlds are different. The younger ones don’t watch the whole game, because it’s not interesting enough. Rather the game needs to be shortened. "There are so many matches, I can't finish the whole thing," he said.
However, Perez did not say how long the match could be extended. Meanwhile, the European Super League (ESL) he created has already collapsed. In two days, half of the teams in the new competition have withdrawn.
Incidentally, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez showed the thumbs up to UEFA and founded the Super League. However, he has been the target of extreme criticism in the football world for the project.
