🚨Florentino Perez full interviewed by El Chringuito Tv.
▫️ I'm calm. It's not hard for me to say calm. I said if I won the Champions League I would come and here you have me.
▫️ Was 14 the one you enjoyed the most?
Florentino: "We've had three very important teams with three magical games at the Bernabéu. It's a Champions League that we'll remember for the rest of our lives."
▫️ The 14th has been a Champions League that we will remember for a lifetime. We have had an atmosphere and an atmosphere where the players, in addition to good professionals, are very madridistas.
▫️ Is this the best group of footballers that Madrid has?
Florentino: "In order to win, there are a series of conditions that have been met this year. Madrid players, as Ancelotti says, are also Real Madrid fans, and that shows on the pitch."
▫️ In which tie did you think Madrid was out?
Florentino "In none. How could Madrid not come back if in the first game against PSG we had 20 minutes left?"
Is PSG a friend?
Florentino: "All are friends, all who compete."
▫️ Has it been necessary to fight with PSG for Tchouameni?
Florentino: "He told him. Mbappé told him if he wanted to go to PSG and he replied that he wanted to go to Real Madrid. Tchouameni has been loved by PSG, Madrid and Liverpool, as far as I know."
▫️ Is signing a player against a state-owned club more successful?
Florentino: "That is much talked about. The club-state thing is a problem that we have to solve."
▫️ Florentino: "The Superliga is still alive. Let's see what the Court of Justice says. We believe that we have the right, within the European Union, to organise tournaments. With UEFA, but we understand that it is an organizer, regulator and boss, it is a monopoly."
▫️ Florentino: "I've never had a mind that Ceferin expelled Madrid from the Champions League."
▫️ Florentino: "I greeted Ceferin cordially and normally, it was not the time to talk about the Super League. We disagreed, we said we wanted to talk to UEFA. We await what the Tribunal says."
▫️ Tebas denounced PSG and City. Does Tebas support RM?
FP: "I dont know why he does it, Tebas doesn't support RM. I dont feel supported. In fact, we have a lawsuit between Barca & Athletic over the agreement with CVC, which is illegal because it breaches commercialization rights."
▫️ Is it understandable that the president of LaLiga goes against Madrid or Barça?
FP: "We have always gotten along well except when we understand that they want to expropriate our audiovisual rights for 50 years."
▫️ Florentino: "I think that Laporta has had great pressure to get into that agreement, but Barça is a serious club and is not going to get involved, it would be illogical for them to sign with them."
▫️ Florentino: "Barcelona is a club with a lot of value, it will be worth 4-5 billion euros. He goes through a difficult situation, but he will get ahead. For the sake of Spanish football."
▫️ In La Liga it seems that they are Barcelona's sporting directors, sometimes they tell him that they can sign, sometimes that they can't. Let them do what they see fit. There is no need to put pressure on them.
▫️ How many times have you been asked about Mbappé?
FP: "Mbappé conveyed to the whole world his desire, his dream, to play for Madrid. And he has stated that publicly. We wanted to do it in August, it wasn't possible, they didn't let him. It took a long time, we had to wait a year
▫️ Florentino: "That year has passed and 15 days before the situation changed, I think it was due to political pressure and I think it was also economic. There was a blockade and I think Mbappe did the easiest thing to unblock."
▫️ FP: "PSG did not want to sell Mbappe and they are within their rights. A lot of time has passed, the year has passed and he always said the same thing, that his dream was Madrid. 15 days before the situation changed, I think because of the political and economic pressure."
▫️ FP: "They transmitted it to us and we saw that Mbappé changed. There is no need to think about it anymore. When he didn't want to do an act of sponsorship with his national team, it already shocked me, because football is a collective sport. That and a number of things."
▫️ Florentino: "Mbappe had been offered to be the leader, not only of a football team, but of the management we said this is not the Mbappé we wanted to bring. He will have changed his dreams."
▫️ Florentino: "The President of the country calls Mbappe, that must affect a kid. Although there are more clubs there, such as Olympique de Marseille... Zidane came to Madrid, he's a great. Karim, he's also a big one. You can be a great at Real Madrid and feel pride."
▫️ Florentino: "I didn't say I'm a sports director. I have said that the situation changes, they offer him things. And as Di Stéfano said, there is no one bigger than the club. We have values and principles that we do not want to change."
▫️ Florentino:" I'm still fond of Mbappe. Circumstances change. It's not easy for a 23-year-old to put on that pressure. I think his mother didn't influence. I think he wanted Madrid to come because it was his dream as a child. Mothers want the best for their children."
▫️ Florentino: "When a person makes a decision you have to respect it. Mbappe hasn't come because he didn't want to. He has been pressured from the presidency, from Qatar... They put a lot of pressure on you and you get blocked."
▫️ Florentino: "Mbappé was not tied up because you have to tell his club that you have to negotiate. That put him under added pressure, with his fans. So as not to harm you."
▫️ Florentino: "The madridistas have been disappointed. But the Mbappe I wanted to come to Madrid is not what it turned out to be."
▫️ Florentino: "Now we don't dream of Mbappé, because Mbappé is not even Mbappé. The one who refuses to do an act with his selection... I don't want that. But it could have been a lapse, I think he's been confused. If he stayed there I wish him well. I believed the dream."
▫️ Florentino: "Mbappe passed me a message and I answered. I wished him luck, but at that time we were already interested. No Real Madrid player has been above the others. We are not going to make any exceptions that put the collective at risk."
▫️ Florentino: "Haaland had nothing to do with Mbappé. We have the best striker in the world and that was incompatible with Haaland. We weren't going to bring him in to be on the bench. I don't know if it has a clause. We are interested in forming new team with young reinforcements"
▫️ Florentino: "I told Ancelotti that thank you for coming. He has done a good job, managing 25 players is difficult. The atmosphere this year is very good. Pintus is a phenomenon and they are all very good. It's been a year to frame."
▫️ Florentino: "There has been no problem with the renewal of Vinicius. He says he doesn't move from Madrid. No coach has wanted to sell Vinicius. I think it will be Ballon d'Or, for sure. As Benzema is going to be now."
▫️ Florentino: "The next Ballon d'Or could be Vinicius, perfectly. Another may be Rodrygo. Mbappe? I do not know. I'm talking about MY players."
▫️ Florentino: "I've told the truth about Mbappé, it has become very long and due to the circumstances of others, he has changed his mind. It is not easy for the President, the Mayor, to call you. That's not normal. You go to Qatar and they offer you things that drive you crazy."
▫️ Florentino: "Mbappe's influence on PSG's sporting project is disproportionate to a player. If that's what you want... I wish him well."
▫️ Florentino: "There is no non-aggression pact. If we wanted to sign Joao Felix we would talk to Atleti to see if they want to sell him."
▫️ Florentino on Mbappe: "What is a symptom is that a player is not a singer, or a film actor. He is a member of a collective, in which everyone is on an equal footing. Everyone has their salary, but no one is above the others."
▫️ Florentino: "I don't know the figures for Mbappe's contract. He has been more affected by political pressure. That and the money and the importance in the sports project. He made the decision he thought best. When you panic you take the path that takes away your panic."
▫️ Florentino: "Here it does not enter the head that the King of Spain calls a club for a player. There are two states there, Qatar & France, they have a relationship and Qatar asks them for one thing... There is no precedent for a President to call you, and to say so publicly."
▫️ Florentino: "Mbappe? Madrid's door is open to all great players who are willing to understand the greatness of this club and that there is no one player above another."
