The president of the UEFA Aleksander Ceferin will not go back to support the idea to make another Eurocopa multisede. The current has been contested in at all less than 11 countries of the continent, by what the esloveno considers that "it is not just" neither for the selections neither for the fans, that have had to travel thousands of kilometres to contest or witness the parties.

Some teams and his fans saw in the imperative obligation to travel until places further of the continent like Bakú, in Azerbaijan, what represented a logistical nightmare. "If they ask me to me, it would not support it more. I think that it is too complex, in some way is not correct that some teams have to travel more than 10.000 kilometres and other 1.000, for example", declared Ceferin to BBC Sport.

"It is not just for the fans, that had to be in Rome a day and in Bakú the following, that is a flight of four hours and average. We had to travel a lot, to countries with different jurisdictions, different coins, countries of the European Union and out of her, by what was not easy. It is an interesting idea, but difficult to carry out. I do not think that we go back it to do", explained Ceferin.

In spite of this situation, the maximum leader of the UEFA think that this has been a Eurocopa "special". "I will remember it like the start of the normality and the return of the fans. Never it had seen a Eurocopa so dramatic like this, with big parties and surprising results", underlined the mandamás of the maximum organism of the European football.

Likewise, the maximum mandator of the UEFA also remembered the "aterradora" image of the Danish Christian Eriksen collapsing after suffering a cardiac unemployment in the first party of his selection in front of Finland: "All were entirely conmocionados, but somehow, was well that sucediera in a football match of high level because the paramédicos were there in 20 seconds and this saved him the life".
