Florentino Perez reaches the reason of Real Madrid’s defeat against Barcelona…and insists on his position
The situation in Real Madrid is similar in many respects to what happened only a year ago. The elimination of the cup against Athletic Bilbao and the poor match of the white team against Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League, critics and fans put the knife on the players and, of course, the coach.
At that time, the leaders of Real Madrid remained calm, trusted what they had and the results were there. Now the confidence continues. They don’t turn their backs on the team’s bad moments, but they also don’t forget what those players and the coach did last season, even this season.
As usual, Florentino Pérez went down to the dressing room as he usually does after every match. Logically, the face was worried about what was seen in the Super Cup final. He didn’t like the team, the performance and the situation at all, and he couldn’t avoid showing annoyance, but he preferred to convey confidence to the team, at least that’s how they think of management.
Real Madrid will not go crazy over this defeat. The voices of the competence or incompetence of many players have reached the ears of those responsible, but the idea of not signing any new players in the winter market remains, just as it was twelve months ago.
They assert that there is no room for changes and that it is all due to a bad physical moment for the team, which is reflected on them on the field of play with an unusual attitude for these same players.
Florentino Pérez and Jose Angel Sanchez are very clear about the value of these players. They recognize a lack of attitude at certain times and attribute everything to that physical exhaustion. Scenarios that have already passed last season. Patience is and will remain one of the arguments set by club officials.
Ancelotti told them that the bad moment would pass, something that the players themselves also had to bear. “Real Madrid always comes back,” said the coach at the end of the match against Barcelona. And if someone and some deserve this recognition, they are the current Real Madrid players, the current champions of La Liga and the Champions League.
They don’t forget it, nor weeks before that Kroos, Modric and Benzema were asked to renew… Now some do not want them to play again, but they are not the ones who make the decisions.
