Florentino Perez (79), its president real madridis currently holding a press conference, following the tense events at the club lately.
The “Galacticos” went through a hectic season to say the least. Xabi Alonso was removed from the team's technical bench in the middle of the season, and they repeatedly criticized the “interim” Alvaro Arbeloa.
Real Madrid was knocked out of the Champions League early, and the championship was lost to arch-rivals Barcelona, who were crowned champions of La Liga for the 29th time in history with the very victory of “El Clasico”, 2-0.
Tens of millions of supporters signed the online petition to remove Kylian Mbappe from the team, but the “icing on the cake” was the physical conflict in which Aurelian Tchouameni and Federico Valverde were involved, resulting in the emergency transportation of the Uruguayan to the hospital.
Florentino Perez: “I'm sorry, but I won't resign!”
Florentino Perez started his conference with a major announcement: “I'm sorry to tell you this, but I will not resign!”.
“Real Madrid will always recover! I have asked the club's management to start the process of starting elections. At Real Madrid there is not a single owner; there are 1,000 members who make up the club. I have taken this decision because an absurd situation has been created, caused by campaigns against the interests of Real Madrid and against me.
The results weren't the best, but in sports you don't always win. They are taking advantage of this situation to attack me personally. He asks: «Where is Florentino?». I usually don't go out to talk.
Some have even gone so far as to say that I have terminal cancer… I want to take this opportunity to inform those who have worried about me that I am still the president of Real Madrid and my company and my health is perfect.
I couldn't be in both places if my health wasn't perfect. If I had cancer, as said, I would have to go to a cancer center. If I was sick, wouldn't the whole world already know?
