In a days when apart from Real and Barcelona there were other legitimate title contenders, Francisco Roig Alfonso was the president of Valencia. Resigning in 1997, he purchased some percentage of Hercules football club and at the age of 85, he is an active pensioner. But he just gave a big interview for Relevo, and spoke about a range of topics, but his remarks about the probable winner of Ballon d‘Or Vinicius Jr. and Real president Florentino Perez will steer the football circles.Vinicius Jr’s red card rescinded, Mestalla face partial closureWhen speaking about racism, Roig went on to insult Vinicius for his behavior and tried to explain the incident between him and Valencia fans in 2023. “Before there were no such problems or I did not notice them. Romario was half black and had no problems at Valencia. It’s just that in Madrid there’s this guy, who is… I call Madrid the ‘Real Immigrant’. If Madrid has eight black players, two foreign white players and a Spaniard, Dani Carvajal, and Vinicius comes out. Do you know what he did here? He climbed the fence at the Mestalla and said ‘you called me a son of a b*tch’. I was at the Mestalla that day with my grandson and my son. And I said to my grandson, ‘Alfonsito, what are they saying?’ And he answered: ‘They’re saying he’s stupid‘. I thought they called him a monkey. But no. And I say to my son Alfonso, 40, the father of the kid, ‘what are they saying?’ And he said the same. They called him a ‘fool’. He will be a great player, which I think he is, but he is a… He’s sh*t as a person. Always going to the referee. I’ve been to South America 20 or 30 times and nothing has ever happened to me. I go to South America with humility and I speak with affection. I can’t go there saying I’m the conqueror. This guy can’t be the way he is” said Roig.Everybody has denied Vini’s racist claims, even his teammateFormer Valencia owner also talked about former players and coaches and then mentioned Real‘s owner Florentino Perez. “Florentino is the boss of Spanish football. The one who commands. What he does is… Can someone explain to me that a player gets a red card at Mestalla for insulting and then it is taken away because Florentino is coming? That idiot touches his ba**s and tells all the fans at Mestalla that we are going to Second Division. Just like that, with his index finger. What is this? And all of that is saved by Madrid. By the way, we have to tell him now where are the four Madrid players who fu**ed four girls in the Canary Islands? Where are they? What fines have they been given? Because everything is quiet. The boss says no and everyone is quiet. Florentino is the one who commands. Why does nobody talk about those four?“ said Roig. New Vinicius idea will enrage the Spanish peopleHe didn‘t spare Barcelona either, and talked about the protection the Catalans apperently have with the referees. He even went back to the incident in 2002 when fans threw a pig‘s head at their former player Luis Figo. “What happened with Barça is tremendous. I don’t know why it’s a club that threw a pig’s head and still has the field open. I don’t know why they gave 18 million to the referees and nothing happens. And us, at Valencia, for calling a Madrid player stupid, who is more than stupid, they threw the whole youth stand out on the street for three or four games. I don’t understand who is behind it. I say it, as they can’t do anything to me… I say what I think. And that’s even though I have very good friends at Madrid and from Madrid. But they whistle penalties on them” said the former football executive. ##NAJAVA_MECA_8362346##
