Florentino Pérez completely unexpectedly held a press conference on Tuesday, where the journalists attending speculated about what it could be. There were discussions about the potential resignation of the "Real” president from the club, but nothing too surprising happened.

F. Pérez opened the press conference with a statement: "I will not resign, I will run for president again!”

Several more strong thoughts were expressed later.

The highly respected 79-year-old businessman denied rumors about illness: "Some say that I am ill, that I have a terminal cancer diagnosis. However, I continue to represent my club and the company, which has a profit of 50 billion annually. My health is amazing. If someone told me, I would sign up for a cancer treatment center again.”

F. Pérez did not shy away from fighting with journalists during the press conference who spread various narratives. He stated he would cancel his subscription to the "ABC” newspaper due to certain journalists' work, and also mentioned the good numbers of the Madrid "Real” club.

"Madrid ‘Real’ is the club with the most titles in football history. We are also the most valuable club, according to ‘Forbes.’ We are also the most valuable brand. ‘Transfermarkt,’ meanwhile, reports that we are the club with the most expensive squad. We have everything, so why do we receive media criticism?” – questioned the "Real” president.

In social networks, a sexist thought expressed by the businessman regarding the "ABC” newspaper articles caught attention.

"Just look at the two articles they published today. One of them was written by a woman, who it’s unclear if she understands football at all,” – stated the longtime president of the "Real” club F. Pérez during the press conference.
