This Tuesday, Real Madrid dropped a real bomb by announcing an extraordinary press conference by its president, Florentino Perez. While the club is going through a period of internal crisis, with numerous incidents between certain players, criticism around Kylian Mbappé and a dramatic sporting situation with no titles gleaned this season, the Merengue president was eagerly awaited for this speech. Major changes? The appointment of José Mourinho or his resignation? None of that.
On the contrary, Florentino Perez delivered a long speech to deny the rumors. “I regret to inform you that I will not resign. I have asked the electoral commission to initiate the process of board elections, for which this board will run. I am running for office because certain groups have tried to take control of the club and claim that Real Madrid is in chaos.”he said, before settling scores with several media. “ABC claims I said I was very tired before the board meeting. Well, thank you very much. I don’t know this gentleman.”he added, reading the tweet on his phone.

The Madrid president then went further by claiming to be the victim of a “absurd situation against Real Madrid and against me. We don’t always win, but we don’t accept it. They are taking advantage of the situation to attack me. Where is Florentino? I don’t make comments. Some say I’m sick, that I have terminal cancer. I want to thank everyone who cares about me. I am still president of the club and of my company, which has a turnover of 50 billion per year..
“It is the most successful club in history. The most valuable club according to Forbes. Why do journalists criticize the most prestigious and popular club in the world? It is an asset for everyone. I’m ashamed to say it, but I was voted the best president in history. We have the most expensive squad. We have everything”he added. For more than 40 minutes, the president of Casa Blanca continued his invectives against the press, defending himself and ensuring that he wanted to remain strong in the face of criticism. And what about the athlete? “I’m not going to talk about the coach or the players. I am here to return the heritage of Real Madrid to its members. We are in the process of taking it away from them”finished the Merengue president, thus refusing any further questions.
