Ramón Calderón: «CR’s future depends on the Panini sticker collector»

The former president Ramón Calderón is in Barcelona for the various events held ahead of the Clásico and took advantage of the presence of the media to attack Florentino Pérez and his running of the club. He spoke about the future of Cristiano Ronaldo, of the presidential seat at the club and of the possible return of Mourinho.

«Cristiano Ronaldo’s future? That depends on the collector of Panini stickers, who is the president. He likes collecting stickers that are really expensive, and pays for them with other people’s money, yes, he does, and when he goes to stick them in the album he doesn’t know where to put them. And if he goes to the page showing the league titles won by Real Madrid in the last ten years, there’s only one cross marked… Real Madrid, until a few years ago, were a democratic club in which any member could be elected as president, but for the last few years it’s been a dictatorship in which it is impossible to be president unless you are called Florentino and have the surnames of Pérez and Rodríguez. Over the last ten years, and with investments of ten thousand million euros, they’ve only won one league title. That is a fact. And I see that people at Barcelona are crazy for him to continue in the post… I’m sure that if Mourinho doesn’t end up as manager of Manchester United he will be the Real Madrid manager next year. I believe that. If they don’t win anything this season, we’ll see Mourinho in the dugout at the Bernabéu. And it will be back to the war and the forest fires once again.»
