🚨 Wilder than at Bayern?! Real chief delivers historic presser

It was one of those press conferences that goes down in the history books. After the scandal surrounding the incidents in the dressing room, the lost Clásico, and the question of whether Real really wanted to bring back José Mourinho as a drill master, Real announced at short notice today that club boss Florentino Pérez would hold a press conference at around 6 p.m.

What followed is something no one will forget anytime soon. Much like Uli Hoeneß, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Hasan Salihamidžić at Bayern’s legendary 2018 press conference, the Real president launched into a furious rant. While the pressing issues, such as the Mourinho case or the dispute between players, were largely left by the wayside, Pérez attacked the journalists in attendance. Here are the most bizarre quotes from this absurd press conference.

- "I’m sorry to have to tell you that I will not be resigning today."

"Look at this on my phone: ABC writes that I’m tired. How can they say that? Is that journalist in this room?"

"La Liga is our eternal enemy! They have waged a systematic campaign in the Negreira case together with Barcelona. But I will fight. I fight against everyone!"

"Valverde and Tchouaméni had a fight, the way young people do. You kick one, the other kicks back, and then they’re friends again. That’s normal.

"I have won seven La Liga titles. But it should have been 14. Seven were stolen from me."

"Let them run against me for the presidency. That is something they have never done. That must be because they are afraid of me."

"You think you can kick me out of the club. No! You’ll have to shoot me."

Besides these bizarre remarks, things then became even more questionable.

"Look at this article against me and Real Madrid. It was written by a woman. I don’t even know whether she understands football."

"Let this girl speak. The rest of you are ugly anyway."

🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Florentino Perez to journalists: "Let that GIRL speak, the rest of you are so UGLY.”

The announced new elections concerning his own position are likely to continue causing a stir in the coming period. It remains to be seen what the reaction to the Real boss’s press conference meltdown will be. One way or another, it was a press conference people will probably still be talking about years from now.
