The Merengue president gave a very offensive speech during the general assembly of Real Madrid this Sunday. He notably pointed the finger at the Ballon d'Or as well as La Liga.
We relayed it in the middle of the week: Florentino Pérez was going to attack a lot of people during his opening speech at the Real Madrid general assembly. The Merengue president went against everyone, whether it was the media, La Liga, UEFA, FIFA, the Ballon d'Or… He wanted to settle his scores and he did it. We have already mentioned his support for Kylian Mbappé, recruited this summer after years of futile courtship. In his sights, there was also the Ballon d'Or, accused of having crowned Rodri while Vinicius was the big favorite.
False arguments to smear the BO
Except that the arguments put forward by Pérez are not credible. He points in particular to the fact that journalists from countries with less than a million inhabitants have the right to vote… He also takes up a poll from L'Equipe which showed that Vinicius was the favorite for readers of the daily. And consider that it was the majority of the planet who thought that way. Finally, he takes up an article from Tuttosport which assures that Rodri won the BO because he really deserved it in 2022-23, which saw the coronation of Lionel Messi for the eighth time after his victory at the World Cup… In short, nothing very serious.
Tebas responded virulently
France Football will perhaps respond to Florentino Pérez during its next edition, at the beginning of December. But Javier Tebas didn't waste any time! The president of La Liga, a declared Real supporter, was attacked several times by Pérez in his speech. On Tebas also recalled that Pérez had obtained the heads of editorial directors of sports dailies for writings that did not please him. The hatchet is not about to be buried between these two!
