Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Real Madrid caused a stir on Tuesday with a surprise announcement shortly after 4 p.m. “Real Madrid announces that this afternoon at 6 p.m., following the board meeting, President Florentino Perez will appear in the Real Madrid press room and address the media at a press conference,” the statement read. This sparked widespread speculation at the top Spanish club. What will the boss of the “Royals” announce?
“I will not resign”
Shortly thereafter, clarity prevailed. “I will not resign,” Perez said, pushing back against the speculation surrounding him. He would not throw in the towel, but new elections are to be held. The Spaniard has been at the helm of the club since 2009. Prior to that, he had already served as Real’s president from 2000 to 2006.
“People say Real Madrid is in ruins, that there’s chaos, that it’s a disaster. Those are all lies,” Perez snapped at the journalists present during the press conference. “This is the most prestigious club in the world. With me as president, we’ve won 76 titles. Maybe I need to remind you of that. Yes, we haven’t won anything this year, but don’t forget that.”
And Perez, who also got into an argument with a reporter, added: “I’m here. I run a major construction company. I run Real Madrid. I’m in the best of health. There are campaigns against me. Certain people are exploiting the difficult situation to attack me personally.” He works “day and night like an animal” for the club.
A Season Without a Title
On Sunday, Real suffered another bitter disappointment. In the Clásico, David Alaba’s club lost 0-2 to FC Barcelona. With that, their great rival secured the league title, while for the “White Ballet,” another season ends without a title. In the Champions League, the Madrid side were eliminated in the quarterfinals after two losses to Bayern.
