00:00Mr. President, I'm almost here. I'm a minute away. What's wrong?
00:07What is this? This doesn't make any sense.
00:10Well, I know you want us to explain the new Champions League format in this video.
00:14But there is one problem. And it's a big one.
00:18Don't look at me.
00:20Wow.
00:22None of us understand the new format, Mr. President.
00:26Gigi, this is not that difficult.
00:29Maybe not for you, but things are not good here.
00:32I'm completely confused.
00:34Why?
00:35Listen, I'm retired now. I have better things to do.
00:38What are we doing?
00:40Relax. I'm pulling up now. I'll take care of it.
00:43Oh, and one more thing, President Scheffering.
00:46What now?
00:47You will never guess who is driving the director crazy.
00:50Oh no.
00:51I knew it. He's complaining about the script, the new format.
00:55He's complaining about everything.
00:57Tell him to calm down. I'll be right there.
00:59Please, get here as soon as you can.
01:02President, I saw the script. It's very complicated.
01:05It's not complicated. It's fine.
01:06Teams will play eight matches in the new league phase.
01:10Are you sure?
01:11It's fine.
01:12No more group stage?
01:13I guess not.
01:14Teams will be seated into four pots of light.
01:17Four different seating pots?
01:20Seating pots. I don't know what it is.
01:23What was wrong with the old format?
01:27Luis!
01:28Oh, Mr. President, we have some questions.
01:30Guys, I don't have time now. Sorry, I don't have time.
01:32Look who's here.
01:33President!
01:34I can't. I don't have time now.
01:36What about the new format?
01:38People have a lot of questions.
01:40Just leave me alone, Luis. It's gonna be fine. It's gonna be fine.
01:45Why is he making this so complicated?
01:47Cut!
01:48This is nonsense.
01:51What's wrong?
01:53Ehrlich?
01:54This guy is impossible.
01:56Come on, it cannot be so bad.
01:58This is absolutely garbage. Who wrote this?
02:02I got this.
02:06I did.
02:08I should have known this came from a lawyer.
02:10Zlatan, Zlatan. Creating problems as usual?
02:12Not really. It's all under control.
02:15So tell me, what do you think about the new format?
02:18Always had problems with the Champions League.
02:21Because you never won it?
02:23I see the president comes with jokes.
02:26By the way, terrible script.
02:28So how would the great Zlatan explain the changes to the world? How?
02:32You keep it simple.
02:34Why does UEFA insist on complicating everything?
02:37Donny, give me some music.
02:39Sure, why not.
02:41Okay, let's do it from the top.
02:42One, two, three and...
02:47We tell the world it's time to change.
02:50Okay.
02:51One table, 36 teams and no more groups of four.
02:55Straightforward.
02:56Each club plays eight different opponents instead of only three.
02:59So the competition becomes better than ever.
03:02I agree. That's why we're doing it.
03:03Fans deserve more action, more jeopardy.
03:06Exactly.
03:07Then why are you feeding them this corporate garbage?
03:11Give them what they want. More football.
03:15Tell them that this is the Champions League,
03:18where the best in the world come to compete.
03:21Tell them that this is an all-or-nothing league,
03:24where legends are made and hearts are broken.
03:28Mr. President, you could even say this is a super...
03:35Hey, wise guy.
03:36I told you, this will never happen.
03:40Mr. President, I come with jokes too.
03:44Donny, who told you to stop?
03:46Come on, let's go.
03:52Football never stands still.
03:55It always evolves.
03:57And now the fans are getting more competitive games.
04:03So that every match, every goal, every point matters.
04:09They're about to see that the best club competition in the world
04:13just got better.
04:15Unbelievable.
04:16Because this is the Champions League.
04:28I've never said this before, but you don't need me.
04:32Let the tournament speak for itself.
04:34Gigi, you can go home now. We're done here.
04:39Are you kidding?
04:45I cancel dinner plans for this.
