Florentino Perez: Bernabeu "killer"

(Baonghean.vn)- Florentino Perez is a construction "boss" who loves football and spares no expense in investing in the Spanish Royal team by bringing in a team of world-class players and coaches. But people also see a cold-blooded "killer" when during his two terms in office, he turned Bernabeu into a "mill" with the risk of bankruptcy and the team's poor performance...

A1: Zidane has just been chosen by President Perez to replace Benitez to lead Real Madrid

Early yesterday morning (January 5), the media witnessed another veteran coach being brought to the Bernabeu gallows after 7 months of returning to Madrid, that was Benitez.

No matter how great and passionate the love this coach has for his homeland is, he cannot avoid an unfinished love affair with the White Vulture.

There are many conflicting opinions about the reason why boss Perez fired the “old boy” Benitez to put the “young boy” Zidane in the hot seat. Maybe this was a premeditated and planned return of gratitude by the president.

Maybe it was because captain Benitez himself was not strong enough to steer Real Madrid to the pinnacle of glory despite being trusted, expected and given many opportunities by the club's leadership after humiliating defeats.

But, when looking back at Perez's 10 years in charge at Real Madrid, people were truly "shocked" by his coldness, his ruthlessness in treating anyone, regardless of how good a coach he was, or how many championship trophies he brought to the team.

Perez has parted ways with 10 coaches under his command.

Fans are gossiping about whether Perez is an angel or a devil at Real Madrid. During his two terms with a total duration of 11 years, he has spent a lot of money, wasted many talented players and "destroyed" 10 top-class coaches.

It is true that investing in football or any other field requires profit. However, the way Mr. Perez invested heavily by spending money without hesitation made the fan group called "Madrid Quality Association" express concern when they learned that the club's actual debt was more than 541 million euros.

Meanwhile, the club's current total assets are only 239 million euros. That means Real is running a working capital deficit of up to 100 million euros.

In fact, although Real's annual revenue reaches 500 million euros, along with having about 156 million euros in cash on hand, their lavish spending and poor financial management have left Real with a huge debt.

Despite his success with Real, Del Bosque's contract was not renewed by Perez.

Perhaps, that is the inevitable reason why construction tycoon Perez is willing to "grind" coaches and "abandon" stars when they do not continuously bring achievements to cover debts and generate profits for the club. Fans have the right to regret when former players of the "Galaxy" Madrid like Mesut Ozil are shining at Arsenal, and Angel Di Maria is an endless source of inspiration for Paris Saint-Germain this season.

They left Real Madrid as "redundant" people. People also think of Arjen Robben and Weisley Sneijder in the 2009-2010 season. That day, Florentino Perez returned to Real and immediately implemented the strategic goal of Glacticos 2.0. At the same time, he was determined to eradicate the remnants left by President Ramon Calderon by selling Dutch players.

As a cruel twist of fate, 9 months later Robben and Sneijder returned to the Bernabeu to play in the Champions League final in the colors of Inter Milan and Bayern Munich, while the team at that legendary stadium was eliminated from the round. The pain that the "killer" Perez caused was so strange that not only the players suffered, but also the coaches.

No matter how good the "captains" are, or how many championship trophies they bring to their teams, they all fall into the majority and suffer the same fate when they are welcomed grandly by the chairman but all leave in silence.

Whether it is Vicente del Bosque - the most successful coach in the history of Real Madrid, whether it is the "special one" Jose Mourinho, the longest-serving, or Rafa Benitez, the son of the motherland Madrid, it is all the same. All are just cards in the business game, ready to be crushed without mercy when Perez's storm of achievements and debts rages.

Ancelotti helps Real fulfill Decima dream but still gets fired

There is no denying that he has shaken up the world transfer market. Like an octopus tentacle ready to reach out and snatch the superstar of any team. Obviously, no one is better than Perez in recruiting talent.

But no one has been better than Perez in pushing those names out of the way, thereby turning Real's aspirations into frivolous and wasteful. Now, fans only see the Royal team with the galaxy named "Perez's success, Perez's failure". Perhaps it is time for Real's members to reconsider their vote to put Perez on the throne, turning him from a CEO into a notorious "assassin".

And people look forward, after repaying Zidane with a hot seat, what will he continue to do if this world football legend leads Real Madrid with poor results?
