Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is adamant that the European Super League is necessary and blamed"lies" for the proposed new competition not being accepted by supporters.
Twelve of Europe's top football clubs announced on Sunday they were launching a breakaway Super League in the face of widespread opposition from within the game and beyond.Despite the backlash, Perez, who was named chairman of the Super League, told French newspaper L'Equipe on Tuesday it was full steam ahead with the plans.
"Reactions are negative because some people have told lies. They said the Super League will be completely closed, which isn't true. That we don't reward merit is false. The league plans to add three more teams as founder members and then run a 20-team midweek league with five teams qualifying annually"based on their achievements in the prior seasons"."We need to invite them to join at the right moment, because now there's a lot of pressure surrounding them. I'm sure that they'll eventually join us, but we've not spoken with them yet.
