Florentino Perez: "This Mbappé is not my Mbappé." He also discusses the Super League, Erling Haaland, and the Champions League title, as well as the violence in Paris
The president of Real Madrid spoke for the first time since the failed signing of the star French player.
Real Madrid President, Florentino Perez assured that Kylian Mbappé changed in the last weeks and that he was not the player he wanted at Real Madrid, that's why he prefers him to stay at Paris Saint-Germain.
The failed signing of Kylian Mbappé
"His dream was to play at Real Madrid; we wanted to do it last August and they wouldn't let him leave; he kept saying he wanted to play at Madrid and then changed his mind about 15 days before he changed the situation," said the Real Madrid president in an interview with "El Chiringuito".
He assured that this is not the player he wanted to bring to the Merengue team, as his dream had changed, while also emphasizing that there is no player above Real Madrid.
"This is not the Mbappé I was hoping to bring; he must have changed his mind. He changes, he is offered new opportunities, he is under pressure, and he is now just another footballer. There is no one above the club at Real Madrid. He is a fantastic player who can outperform others, but this is a team sport with values and principles that we cannot change "He went on to say
Regardless of everything, the president of the Merengue squad said that he is fond of the Frenchman and does not know if he will ever wear "merengue".
"This is not the Mbappé who was supposed to come here. If that's the case, I'd rather he stay at PSG. I want the one who has a dream. In three years, is it possible? Will we all be bald in three years? This is not my Mbappé, who refuses to participate in a publicity stunt with his national team... That is not what I want. It could have been a slip of the tongue, but I believe he misspoke.
The Premier League
Furthermore, Florentino Pérez addressed several contentious issues, including his continued intention to form the Super League.
"Of course, it is still alive; there is a question before the Court of Luxembourg, and there will be a hearing soon and it will rule on the issues we have raised. We believe that we have the right, as members of the European Community, to organize competitions among ourselves in collaboration with UEFA. We recognize that UEFA is a monopoly, and in this Europe of 27, one of the pillars is competition."
Erling Haaland should not be sought.
He blamed Karim Benzema for the team's failure to sign Erling Haaland.
"We have the best nine in the world, and we weren't going to bring in Haaland to sit on the bench, were we?" In two years, Clause? I'm not sure. We are only interested in building a new team with the young players we have and some reinforcement."
The Champions League title and the Paris riots
Throughout the performance, the serious gesture was maintained throughout the interview except when talking Despite the fact that Real Madrid won the Champions League for the 14th time by defeating Liverpool in the final in Paris, he did not stop to condemn the pre-match violence.
"That spectacle can never happen in real life; we ask UEFA what criteria are used for the venue change, and we ask the French government why they have unprotected us all." Robberies and violence were committed against the fans. Why was this location chosen if everyone knew you had big measures or there were problems? Some people had to stay in the hospital overnight. Allow them to explain why they chose Paris. They claim that because we played PSG and lost 1-0, and the time between that game and the return leg is when the change of venue happens, there are people who think that those who win there said they were going to win at the Bernabeu and see if they made it to the final."
