💣🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has just finished one of the most UNFORGETTABLE press conferences in football history.
• He’s ‘sorry that he won’t resign,’ instead calling for an election 3 years early and threatening other candidates to run against him ‘if they can'
• The first questions are sporting-related, but immediately he says that he will not be talking about sporting matters
• Insists that Real Madrid is not a dictatorship, that he has been the best president of all time, winning 74 titles, and that the only way they will get him out is if ‘they shoot him’
• Claims that Real Madrid players ‘fight every season,’ and that it’s totally normal. At least 4 or 5 players hit each other per year. Defends both Tchouameni and Valverde as ‘good kids’
• Picks out his phone from his pocket to start reading news and laughing at fake news from multiple outlets, mainly ABC
• Singles out an ABC journalist as ‘a woman who doesn’t even know if she knows about football’
• Saying he’s a supernatural animal, a beast that works day and night, denying rumors of cancer and tiredness
• Attacks Barcelona for the Negreira case, saying it’s the most disgraceful scandal in football history, and that they have prepared a document to send to UEFA to report Barcelona
• Confirms Real Madrid have the most valuable squad in the world according to Transfermarkt
• Starts arguing with journalists in front of him during the press conference, threatening to cancel his subscriptions to the media
• Calls himself a construction mogul, claiming his companies generate billions of euros in revenue worldwide
• Claims he called the presser to defend Real Madrid from the robberies, saying he would have at least 7 more league titles if they ‘weren’t robbed from him’
• Urged the fans and members of the club to support the players, not boo them
• Says good night, and leaves the room saying he hopes to never see the journalists again
