The season may be over, but Real Madrid is experiencing a decisive week for its future. On Sunday, the members will indeed elect their new president. Florentino Perez, who put his mandate back on the line, will face Enrique Riquelme. And if the boss of Real is the big favorite for his own succession, his opponent multiplies the blows and sees his rating skyrocket.
Florentino Perez must therefore defend his record and in particular his decision to sign Kylian Mbappé in the summer of 2024. Because if the Bondynois stood out statistically, to the point of panicking the counters like Ronaldo when he arrived at Real Madrid, the Merengue have had two (almost) blank seasons and the French world champion has had a series of controversies.
And for the president of Real Madrid, the fault mainly lies with… journalists. “ There are journalists… You don’t know how mean you are when you write. And some believe it. But the real madridista must defend his players. If one day he has a bad match, we have to support him. This season, some have on the contrary created a very bad influence on the public “, he confided in comments reported by El Pais.
Florentino Perez defends Kylian Mbappé
Florentino Perez also took care to defend the former Parisian’s record. “ Mbappé played in a position that was not his at PSG. And that also confused him a little,
he said. We will correct things that we think we did wrong. We have very good players, others will come. That’s all. We must not blame the bad season on the coaches or the players. »
The Merengue boss also said he was convinced that Vinicius and Kylian Mbappé could live together. “They’re not compatible?” It’s nonsense. They are the two best in the world. Vinicius made us win two Champions Leagues,” he asserted.
