Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez recalled this Thursday the signing of Figo for the You meringues, in 2000.
«The hiring of Figo was important, but he was not the one who won the elections [para a presidência do clube]», began by saying, to the radio Zero Wave.
“The club was in ruins, and I personally paid all the debts. I cleaned the badge and the time for the galactics arrived. Real Madrid is the biggest sporting institution in the world and we must always be up to date», he continued.
Then Florentino insisted again that football is dying, something he had already repeated in the failed attempt to create the European Superleague.
«Goals scored away don’t count? UEFA should be concerned with creating a more attractive competition. Football is dying, it doesn’t attract the youngest, the audiences are dropping… if nothing is done, the situation will be very bad», he defended.
