Fierce controversy over the Club World Cup: La Liga president and Real Madrid president Florentino openly

After Real Madrid drew 1-1 with Saudi team Riyadh Crescent, Spanish League One chairman Javier Tebas and Real Madrid president Florentino Perez started a fierce battle of words over this new game-style Club World Cup.

The debate began with Tebas' strong criticism of the new version of the Club World Cup in a speech at the University of Madrid. He made it clear: "My goal is to abolish this event and let the Club World Cup disappear from now on. We don't need such a new game at all."

He also pointed out that maintaining the current event ecosystem is the key to the sustainable development of football. "This type of event will only raise the price of broadcast rights and disrupt the original order. I watched Chelsea's game and it felt as irrelevant as a pre-season warm-up."

However, just a few hours later, Florentino responded strongly in an interview with DAZN. He said: "I want to thank FIFA for providing fans around the world with such an excellent opportunity to see the world's top clubs compete in such a wonderful event. This is the first Club World Cup to expand to 32 teams, and I believe it will be successful. Those who oppose it are actually trying to make football go backwards."

Florentino emphasized the importance of this event: "Ultimately, Real Madrid has fulfilled our long-term wish. Football is the most popular in the world. Welcoming sports, and technology allows us to organize such games in a completely new way - even ordinary audiences around the world can watch for free. This means that children around the world can see Real Madrid's games. It is through the combination of big clubs and technology that football is ushering in a change. And I am one of the most determined forces to promote this change. "

This 2025 FIFA Club World Cup is a strategic reform promoted by FIFA President Gianni Infantino. This new version of the Club World Cup, which has expanded its troops to 32 teams, has high hopes for building it into a "club-level World Cup." At the same time, the event will also introduce a number of new technologies and rules innovations, marking a new era for global club football.
