Florentino Perez Quotations

The person who coaches Real Madrid needs to be disciplined, rigorous and professional.

We want people from every continent to come and see it so we can show them what we represent.

Madrid is not obsessed with financial results. But the model guarantees our freedom,

No one has said anything yet but if an offer does arrive we will consider it carefully, although any deal has to be compatible not only with the interests of the player but also with those of the club.

I wish him all the luck in the world for this wonderful challenge.

I discovered a very bad financial situation which I wasn't scared to guarantee with my personal wealth. Now I'm leaving with a gesture which has nothing to do with cowardice.

I'd do it all again. I believe in emotions and spectacle, and without this magic it wouldn't be Madrid. Thanks to this philosophy I left the club the richest in the world.

I have spent some of the most intense and best years of my life as president of the club.

For me you are the best-don't forget you are Real Madrid players.

He is fully conscious. We talked about everything. He told me one must address life with a bit of philosophy and to me it seemed that his situation, given what he has been through, is normal.

I was a cork that needed to be popped to shake up the club.

Real Madrid needs change and this is the right moment for me to leave the presidency. I am convinced this is the boost the club needs.

Some of the players think they have a guaranteed place in the side and that they are the best. I think they are getting confused.

Today Real Madrid has won and the future has won. I know what challenges I face after this victory and I take on this responsibility in the knowledge that the only limits of Real Madrid are the dreams of it members.

Today we are going to present one of the great players in the world,

This training facility is a dream made real. It is for Madrid fans all over the world.

We're sure the film will be a great success. We hope that the film will confirm our position as the greatest club in the world.

With his appointment we have found a rapid solution to a situation that should not affect the aims of Real Madrid, because the institution is always the most important thing.

We created a great team and maybe I educated them wrongly and they got things confused.

The result of the election obliges me to do this more than ever. We have to construct a competitive team.

There's no chance of us talking about new players until the 21st. The press has a right to inform and say what it wants. But if we had to act on all the signings, we would have a squad of 60 players.

I spoke to him and he was very philosophical about what had happened.

Arsenal want him to stay and I believe he will continue playing with them.

This change can propel the club forward for the rest of this season and into the future.

It will be an important year and the players are prepared for the challenge.

It was not easy to bring him to the club,

Never, never, never, never. Nothing, never, never, never. Not now. Not ever.

It will become a symbol of the club, and will be the base from where we work day by day to continue being the most important club in history,

The voice of the Real Madrid members has been expressed clearly and emphatically,

The confusion that day was because we considered winning the league as normal. We were so confident and convinced we were best. The day this confusion hit us we stopped winning. We need to stop being confused and that's why I'm leaving.

I must repeat that my policy is to try to sign the best player in the world in every position where we do not already have that. Patrick Vieira is, in my opinion, the best in the world in his position,

I really enjoyed the first four years. It was the happiest stage of my life but everything went wrong after Camacho quit. He showed he was a Madrid supporter but he left the club less affected than me.

I think our honorary president is going to stay with us for a long time to come.

Garcia Remon will be here the whole season and we hope for many more,

The club needed a change. We're not in the best shape. We had tried changing coaches several times and that didn't seem to work, so the only other option left was for me to leave.

All the English teams are fighting to try and get him to return there, but we are delighted with him.
