(22 days ago)The Spanish royal club announced on Tuesday afternoon that President Florentino Peres would be presented to the media conference by 6:00, following the board of directors' meeting, without explaining the topic of presentation in advance.
At the conference, Peres rejected rumours of resignation and announced that he has called new elections at the club three years earlier than his current mandate, which should last until 2029.
I will not resign, I call elections. There are campaigns against me. But I'm still here and I'm president. People said I have cancer, it's completely made up. I'm not tired”, he stressed.
Real Madrid's president also attacked media reports, specifically mentioning ABC, while seeking to know whether the journalist who had written the article was present in the hall.
I'll tell you what they told me a few minutes ago. ABC wrote that I'm tired... how could you say that? Is this journalist here?
He insisted that he continues to work with high intensity and that he has no intention of withdrawing.
I work day and night like an animal. With me president, we've won 76 titles. Maybe I should remind you. Yeah, we won nothing this year, but don't forget”, he said.
In the same line, he indicated that the current board, with it at the helm, would run in these elections, while heading sharply towards critics.
I'm calling new elections for the board, and this board, with me at the top, will compete in this election. Anyone who is criticizing us and spreading these rumors about me can compete against me in this election. Whoever comes out, let him out. Stop acting from behind”, Perez said.
He denied rumours that the situation at the club is out of control, insisting that a false threat to crisis and chaos is spreading within Real Madrid.
They're saying Real Madrid is in a mess, it's chaos, it's a disaster, it's all lies. This is the world's most prestigious club”, he said, reports Telegraph, broadcast Periscope
Finally, Perez returned to the number of titles won under his direction and said the elections are calling to protect the interests of club members, stressing that he will not fear.
I'm the first to win all. With me president, we won 37 titles in football and 29 in basketball. I want to talk about all these people campaigning behind the” scenes.
“will organise elections to protect the interests of Real Madrid members. They won't scare me. They even give me a lot of energy”, he's done. /Periscope
