Florentino Perez is a proud man, and he is happy. Happy for the good things he has done to football since he became the president, and happy for the Super League, which is not dead, but also sad for the departure of Zinedine Zidane and Sergio Ramos. In a big interview for Onda Cero’s Transistor programme, Real’s main man talked about a number of topics, including UEFA, Super League, and departure of club’s coach and captain. Real’s instruction to Ancelotti: Trim the squad, only Mbappe is comingFor the club with such a big stature, it’s surely not pleasant when a trophy coach and a long time captain leave the club. After Zinedine Zidane left Real (again) and left a farewell letter with an accusation that he didn’t have the club’s backing, Florentino Perez claimed that he is sure that Zidane didn’t wrote the letter but didn’t spoke about the content. “I spoke to him all afternoon and he never told me what he said later in the letter. I have not read the farewell letter, I swear on my grandchildren. The person who wrote that letter was not Zidane. It has been a very difficult season. I have not spoken to him again. I don’t even know if he is in Madrid. This year has been hard and one gets tired of being a coach. I fought so that he would stay. I was with him all afternoon to convince him. Zidane is very simple, when he says he wants to go, he has already left. I wish him well, he has been a legend for Real Madrid and he has all of our recognition. He has the dream of being the French coach and I’m sure he will achieve it“ revealed Perez.Florentino Perez:”I’ll be very happy if Sergio Ramos goes to a club that offers him what we couldn’t offer. As with Cristiano Ronaldo.” pic.twitter.com/4pUjKxJneE— CristianoXtra (@CristianoXtra_) June 25, 2021 It was a different situation with the captain. Sergio Ramos has left after he and Real failed to agree on the contract extension (read: it was about the money). If you ask Perez, Ramos didn’t want to admit that Real’s offer had a deadline. “Yes, I had a bad time at the farewell of Sergio Ramos. I love him like a son and of course I do I’m sorry. I’ve never held a press conference with a player. We offered him a contract and told him that he had a deadline and he did not admit it. He will do very well for sure and this is his home and he will be able to return. Life goes on“ said PerezLife at Real Madrid after Sergio RamosPerez again talked about the situation in modern football which is „dying“ and choosed to attack president Cheferin for wanting more privileges in the times of crisis. He also claimed that the football in general improved since he became the president of the club. „I would like UEFA to make a more attractive competition and not one that loses more and more fans. If football is having a bad time and in my view it does, the audiences are becoming more and more minors, young people don’t watch football, something has to be done. I am very satisfied because I came to change the world of football and I did something. My father taught me the values of Real Madrid and is for which I have fought. Football has undoubtedly improved since I became president of Real Madrid. The clubs lose 8 billion euros and Ceferin raises the salary. There are people who have privileges and want to continue maintaining them while football dies” criticized Perez. 🚨🎙| Florentino Perez: “There are not only 3 teams left, it’s a lie. There is a binding agreement of all 12 teams. The Super League continues, nobody can leave. UEFA threatened us and the poor English fell for it.”— Madrid Xtra. (@MadridXtra) June 24, 2021 The Europa Super League is alive, not dismantled, also said Real’s president. Perez insisted that the initial contract signed by the 12 founding clubs is binding, and that the court ruled in favor of those clubs, so they cannot be banned or punished.”We make 12 teams and a binding agreement between all, and no one can go. The Superliga continues. When we took it out, UEFA threatened us and the English clubs fell. We go to the judge, and he said you couldn’t play the Super League. UEFA can’t do anything about people or clubs. From there, it changes. It has already stopped. Now, the Luxembourg court will have to decide. We have asked that those constraints that have been made to the English be withdrawn” explained Perez.
