Already it is official. Aleksander Ceferin Has turned into the last hours in the successor of Michel Platini like president of the UEFA, after having surpassed to Michel Go Pragg by 42 votes to 13. Ceferin Has conceded does scarce hours an interview to "Mark" in which it has left clear that, to his 48 years, "am not young to be president of the UEFA, as it says Go Praag. Have experience".

Like relief of Platini, Ceferin is convinced that it can do important things to improve the European football. "I think that I can do important things by the football. I do not come to do a revolution. Neither much less. I think that the football needs an evolution. When some presidents of federations said me that the UEFA needed changes, thought that it was the moment to be able to help to the football. Can do it", it affirms.

It is not a detractor of Michel Platini, but rather on the contrary. "It has been a good president, did a lot of good things by the football, like the solidarity and the approach the football to all the countries. I am lawyer and do not go to pronounce me on the sucedido. It was a very charismatic president".

"It does not like me that the small countries have difficult to arrive to the Champions"

The main aim of his mandate at the head of the UEFA, according to Ceferin, will be "to approach the UEFA again to the federations. I think that they need to play a more important paper. It is necessary to limit the number of mandates; it likes me the Eurocopa of 24 teams, but no that have more than a country like headquarters".

"It is uncomfortable for the fans. Trips of eight hours, changes of country... It does not have sense and from 2024 will ask that it change. Neither it likes me that the small countries have more complicated to arrive to the Champions. It is not just", ensures.

And the esloveno, finally, neither wets between Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi, neither between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, as it is logical. "It is as if it said me that to the one who prefers if to Gasol or Navarro. They are good for the football. One has done better to the another. Ronaldo is pure power, strength, determination. Leo Messi is more artist. Who is better? It is the same that Real Madrid and Barcelona. They are good for the world-wide football".
