CHAMPIONSHIPS. “The value of Serie A will be lost over time if the Champions League continues to remain so rich. The revenues in the market are that, if the Champions League revenues grow and then its TV rights then the domestic league rights lose value. That is a trend to focus on. Certainly good at Uefa in building the new Champions project, but that has the same effect as the Superleague on the national leagues. Uefa can do it though because it has a relationship with Eca, ruled though by the usual 15 teams.”
MARKET. “We will try as much as possible to align the most important leagues so that the market ends in line with the start of the championships. From the point of view of organization it is sacrosanct, but we have resistance from the Spanish La Liga.”
The article De Siervo (ad Lega Serie A): “We want market to end with start of A. Champions like Superleague” comes from Calcio Lecce.
