“We are always in conversation with Víctor Montaglianimy colleague from Concacaf, we are always in an open and constant dialogue because we know that we can help just as Concacaf can give us a hand“, he pointed.
“If there is something that this World Cup showed, it is that we need each otherswe cannot live parties, because when two teams from the same confederation play, it is much more neutral, but when two different confederations play, the teams encounter different problems, which shows that we also have to look at the feasibility with Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania”.
The Conmebol manager acknowledged that although he was close a few years ago the return of national football to South Americacurrently there is nothing concrete more than the talks they constantly have with their colleagues from all the confederations.
“So far there is nothing concretethere are always and there have been conversations since 2016 and until now, they continue to be. We do the same with other confederations and hopefully it can be done. We are always open to dialogue”, he added.
