In response to the financial difficulties caused by COVID-19, Real Madrid President Florentino Perez has called for immediate changes to the football system.
‘Nothing would be as it was before,’ says Florentino Perez, the head of Real Madrid, who is pushing for drastic changes to the system of football.
“Nothing will be like it was before,” Perez told Real Madrid’s club members during their online annual general assembly.
“The pandemic obliges us to make football more competitive. We must innovate and look for formulas to ensure football remains attractive.”
He added: “Everyone is arguing for remodeling of world football.”
“There is a saturation [of games] and our fans, who are the most important thing we have, suffer.”
“Football reform cannot wait. The biggest clubs in Europe have millions of fans spread across the world. We have the responsibility to fight for this change.”
