“What this league gives is that there isn’t an obvious candidate. You look at all the teams and you can’t say that this or that one will be champion. In Mexico, you have four or five teams that couldbe [champion] and will fight. In Spain you have two; in Italy you have one right now; in England you have three of four; in Germany two or three; Argentina there are two; in Uruguay there are two andin France one. So the difference with this league and the attractive thing for us is that today there are no candidates and so anything can happen.”
