Florentino Pérez starting up on El Larguero "We& #39;ve been working for many years on this project. Perhaps we haven& #39;t known how to explain it."
"I& #39;m a bit sad and disappointed. We& #39;ve been working on this for three years, on what to do to fight the financial situation. In theory it& #39;s easy to understand. The league is untouchable. Where you can get more money is the midweek games. The current format is obsolete."
"I& #39;ve never seen a greater aggression from the president of UEFA and the leagues. As if it was orchestrated. It surprised us all, an aggression that I& #39;ve never seen in my life, in 20 years in football. Threats... As if we& #39;d killed someone, killed football."
"There was someone in the English group who didn& #39;t have a lot of interest... Who was never convinced. I won& #39;t say who."
"(The English clubs) left because of the atmosphere... UEFA put on a show. It was like we& #39;d let off an atomic bomb. Perhaps we haven& #39;t presented it well and explained it well but they haven& #39;t given us an opportunity either. Because they don& #39;t want to."
