Florentino’s pulses

Gyou or not, have more or fewer followers, Florentino Prez has a particular way of managing Real Madrid and the truth is that socially he is more than supported. The president thinks that the entity is above players and technicians. Decisions are made regardless of the name of the player or the coach on duty. When the conflict appears, the position is firm and the criterion that most interests the entity always prevails or, at least, the one that they consider to be so.

Popularly speaking of pulses, of situations of tension that are created around players and club. The leaders believe that it is more to maintain a line and a way to manage important decisions of the club, than personal differences.

The funny thing is that all those players who have had to leave Real Madrid, according to many people hastily, have ended up returning to the entity sooner or later. Iron, Ral and Casillas They are the clear example that the door is not closed.

The first great duel or pulse was the one that Florentino Prez maintained with Fernando Hierro. With Fernando Redondo it did not exist because shortly after the new president arrived, the midfielder was transferred to Milan. Little did it matter that fans came to the door of the Bernabeu to express their disappointment at the Argentine’s goodbye. The decision is already made and there was no going back.

In the case of Hierro, president and agent of the player came to shake hands, but it was never put on paper. Differences in the last days of the season, exacerbated in the celebration of the title and in the subsequent dinner, evidenced a rift that ended in a public confrontation between the captain and the president.

Ral’s case has been considered a pulse, but it was really Mourinho who decided to give the striker a secondary role, before what life was sought away from Real Madrid. The farewell was cold, but neither did the player want any kind of display. Three years later he returned to the Bernabeu and received a public tribute in the trophy of the former Madrid president.

Iker Casillas is another of the players who did not have the ending that many expected and now he’s working at the club. His confrontation was with Mourinho, but it splashed the club. Two farewells, one solo and the other accompanied by Florentino Prez and all the titles he won as a balnco. The president left the message of “he is leaving because he has asked us to.”

Cristiano Ronaldo deserves a separate chapter. The Portuguese challenged everyone when in February he demanded from the club an improvement in his contract or an exit in the summer market. The tension that exists in the dressing room, including with Zidane, led the Real Madrid leaders to formalize an exit agreement that was signed as if it were a contract. Months later, CR7 left Real Madrid and is now asking to return.

With Zidane there has been no pulse. First was goodbye to the french and now a chronicle of a farewell announced in time and that perhaps he needed more than three years ago and that has served to bring the announced changes to Real Madrid.

The Sergio Ramos thing is a bye that began to be written six months ago and that on Wednesday afternoon it had an official character. The central tensioned the rope and when he wanted to pick it up, it had broken and no longer exists.
