New times are running, the same or worse (not better), and the media ring has moved to television sets as exotic as they are phenomenally popular. The candidates for the presidency of Real Madrid have understood this and have adapted without hesitation. If Enrique Riquelme was the guest on Wednesday of El Hormiguero on Antena 3, where he promised Haaland, Florentino Pérez appeared the next day on the program Horizonte , a device born in its day to talk about paranormal phenomena, today dedicated to all kinds of analysis, including political covens with psychedelic effects.

It was strange to see Florentino on that stage, but it’s about countering the rival at all costs and convincing Madrid’s members to vote for him this Sunday. Those who are not already convinced, of course.
“How much is Madrid worth?”, Florentino Pérez was asked to start. “According to Forbes, 10 billion euros, but they are wrong by 10 billion more. In 2000, when I arrived, there wasn’t even enough to pay salaries, the players weren’t getting paid, and now we top all the rankings,” the candidate began to boast, praised without complexes by the interviewer for long minutes. “I have won 66 titles and no one has won more European Cups than me,” he continued with undisguised acquiescence.
“On Tuesday we will make the biggest offer in Real Madrid’s history for a player”
Finally, the headlines arrived, obviously much awaited. He rattled them off: “Mourinho is coming to Madrid next week. We know him, he taught us great competitiveness and his work served to win five European Cups just when he left. We are very happy and so is he.” And he continued before dropping the bombshell: “We will sign Konate (Liverpool) and Dumfries (Inter Milan), who are two defenders, and I can announce that on Tuesday I am going to make an offer that will be the largest amount of money paid in a transfer by Real Madrid, it will be at least 150 million euros,” he blurted out, ruling out that the footballer (forward or attacking midfielder, he admitted) would be Harry Kane or Haaland. “They’ll find out on Tuesday,” he added. Regarding the Norwegian, he didn’t want to miss the opportunity to attack Enrique Riquelme: “Everyone has denied it, the father, the agent, the club… There are many bluffs in that candidacy and that’s why I’m here, to defend Madrid.”

And he concluded: “In 2009 I returned to Madrid because the club was going through a sinister period. People who weren’t even members sneaked into the assemblies, there’s nothing more disgusting, and now the children of those who sneaked in are appearing.”
Florentino and the presenter ended up singing one of Madrid’s anthems together.
