00:00We must never forget that we are just passing through.
00:03Football existed before we came and will exist when we are gone.
00:10I said once, but it's more or less a joke, to be honest,
00:14that I've met less criminals in 25 years of criminal law than in two years of football.
00:21I can assure all of you the full support and the full cooperation of myself
00:27and, of course, of FIFA in the years to come.
00:30If you wanted to ask me if he supported me, I hope so.
00:37We want to make our competitions more inclusive,
00:40to give clubs and fans the chance to dream and compete for European honours.
00:45This is why we created the UEFA Europa Conference League.
00:52UEFA and the footballing world stand united against the disgraceful,
00:56self-serving proposal we have seen in the last 24 hours
01:01from a select few clubs in Europe that are fuelled purely by greed above all else.
01:08I call them dirty dozen.
01:10This idea is a spit in the face of all football lovers and our society as well.
01:20As a UEFA competition is the biggest game in world football,
01:23it should be organised a lot better and delays like that shouldn't be happening
01:27and definitely the force that was used probably tonight by certain authorities
01:31shouldn't be handling that.
01:34It's one of the last public assets yet to be privatised.
01:38It therefore doesn't belong to anyone.
01:40It belongs to everyone who loves, loved or will love this beautiful game.
01:46What makes me happy and proud is that I'm the captain of a ship that navigated the stormy weather very
01:54well.
01:54The reason is that after some time every organisation needs red blood.
02:00Everybody said we have to do something but the moment you try to do something they say no, no, no,
02:05no but it's not good and so on.
02:07So we were quite brave to do it.
02:11There's a lot of money around.
02:12There's a lot of influence around.
02:15There's a lot of egos around.
02:17So to manoeuvre around all that, it's sometimes a bit complicated.
02:21Yay!
02:21Let out.
