761 We will reinvent our dreams!
June 1 morning, Madrid, Spain, Bernabéu Stadium, Lobby.
The scene can be described as a gathering of political and business celebrities, Madrid Mayor Gallardo led the core government officials to the scene, Atletico Madrid President Cerezo, Getafe Club President Torres and others, as well as a number of important members of the Spanish sports world, plus the backbone members of the Real Madrid fan organization......
More importantly, journalists from all over the world gathered in the foyer of the Bernabeu Stadium to await the upcoming solemn inauguration.
In fact, everyone already knew the results.
Since mid-May, when Florentino announced his candidacy, there has been only one candidate for the presidency of Real Madrid.
Especially in recent days, there has been no challenger, Florentino's election is a certainty, and everyone is starting to look forward to Florentino's next transfer strategy and the actions of the new chairman after taking office.
Just last night, the pervasive media reporters have begun to dig up more inside information.
First of all, there have been rumors that Florentino will send former Real Madrid president Calderón and general manager Mijatovic to prison, and various incriminating evidence has been collected during their tenure.
But according to sources close to Florentino, the new president of Real Madrid has abandoned the idea for the simple reason that he feels that the move does not do any good to the image of Real Madrid, one is the former president of Real Madrid, and the other is the hero who once brought Real Madrid a seventh Champions League title, and sending these two people to prison has no other benefit than to vent his anger.
However, in order to prevent the same thing from happening again, he arranged for Padessa, one of the former Real Madrid Five Eagles and loyal to Real Madrid, to be the sports manager, taking over Mijatovic's power and taking charge of athletic affairs, but his powers were also limited.
Above Padessa, there is also a superintendent and assistant to the president, Baldano.
The Argentine legend is directly responsible to President Florentino and manages all aspects of Real Madrid's football and basketball teams, with a focus on transfers, and is the most important public figure of Real Madrid, and he will work with Padessa to find suitable players for Real Madrid in the transfer market.
Unlike Mijatovic, Padessa is only half of his predecessor's salary.
……
During Calderón's administration, Real Madrid's image plummeted, with the press department bearing the brunt.
The reason for this is that Calderón has crammed a large number of descendants into the news department, who have taken advantage of their relationships with the stars and the promise of the stars to collect commissions from the media around the world, sell news to the media, and even have some internal scandals, which has led to a huge chaos in the club's press management.
After Florentino came to power, he will completely clean up this batch of moths and a group of redundant personnel as soon as possible, and use Anders, a well-known editor and director of the former national television station, to take charge of the news department, he has a close relationship with the Marca newspaper and has considerable influence in the Spanish and European media circles, and at the same time uses Oscar, a famous reporter of the newspaper As, as the press officer.
Of the three major sectors, the smallest move is the commercial sector.
Sanchez, who made a great contribution to the introduction of Beckham for Real Madrid, switched to Calderon after Florentino's resignation, but Florentino still has a lot of trust in his ability and decided to let him stay in office.
There have always been rumors that Sanchez did not actually switch to Calderon, and has always been Florentino's loyal favorite, and secretly exchanged news with Florentino during Calderon's administration.
But no one knows the inside story.
The three most important ministries have been restructured and purged, and Florentino is bound to take full control of Real Madrid, but this is clearly not enough, because according to insiders, a new important position will be created when the new president takes office.
That is the Chief of Staff of the President.
As the name suggests, the office of the president is directly under the authority of the president, and at the same time is responsible for handling the affairs of the club, which can almost be said to be the head of Real Madrid above the club's major departments.
And this position is set up by Florentino specifically for Manuel Redondo, who is his personal assistant who has followed him for decades, with extraordinary ability, and is also fully responsible for directing Florentino's plan to return to Real Madrid this time, so after taking office, any major decisions in various departments must be notified in advance Redondo.
Through the restructuring of the club's management system, Florentino will be able to run Real Madrid exactly as he wishes, while also avoiding the recurrence of incidents like Calderón and Mijatovic to the greatest extent possible.
……
In addition to the administration, Florentino has also made great efforts to install his own cronies in attacking the fan club.
For example, the billionaire Fernández Tabias will be the club's first vice-president, the second vice-president and spokesperson of the board of directors will be Eduardo Fernández de Blas, a well-known Madrid lawyer, and Enrique Sánchez, the secretary general of the board.
Among the rumors from the outside world, there is one person whose position has never been revealed, and that is Zidane.
The former world footballer of the year, Real Madrid's legendary superstar, will serve as a special adviser to the president, according to insiders, he can directly send advice to Florentino, and serve as the club's global ambassador, as well as participate in Real Madrid's youth training, but it is not known exactly what his role is.
……
The people who came to the Bernabeu Stadium were all elites from major media, all old fritters who had been immersed in football for many years, and they all clearly felt that Florentino was different from the previous ones, and it was even more different from Calderón and the like.
If nothing else, let's just say that such a large number of elite cadres are not at all what Calderón can recruit.
Only someone like Florentino has such an amazing charm that so many elite talents can be used by him.
But because of this, everyone is looking forward to the next inauguration, and everyone is looking forward to what the second phase of the Galaxy Battleship that Florentino is about to be revealed.
Especially most importantly, will the long-rumored Yang Yang really come to the Bernabeu?
There is no doubt that Yang Yang is the topic that everyone is most concerned about.
…………
…………
Accompanied by two vice-presidents and thirteen members of the Board of Directors, Florentino calmly walked into the foyer with his trademark kind smile and greeted the club's honorary president, Di Stefano.
There was a round of applause.
The media reporter glanced at the thirteen members of the board of directors and the two vice presidents, and found that exactly like the rumors from the outside world, the billionaire Tabias and the famous lawyer De Blas became Real Madrid's right-hand men, and Enrique Sanchez became the secretary general of the board of directors, and they were all Florentino's closest comrades.
De Blas, who is also the spokesperson of the board of directors, took the lead and officially announced on behalf of the Real Madrid board of directors that since there was only one candidate for the election, Florentino would automatically become the new president of Real Madrid in accordance with the election regulations.
There was thunderous applause again, and everyone applauded, and they all welcomed Florentino's arrival, even the presidents of rival clubs such as Atletico Madrid and Getafe.
Each club has its own different way of playing, Real Madrid's play is different from that of teams such as Atletico Madrid and Getafe, although they are each other's mortal enemies, but in any case, they are more looking forward to Florentino as the president of Real Madrid.
If nothing else, just rushing to the attendance of Real Madrid's away games can make them a lot of money.
What's more, a team like Getafe, who has loaned and bought a lot of young talents from Real Madrid's academy every season, naturally wants Real Madrid to regain their glory.
Florentino slowly walked up to the stage, he looked around at the crowd and took the lead in thanking everyone for coming to the Bernabeu.
"We all know what we're here for? We are here to bring back dreams and stability, to recover the time we wasted, to try to build Real Madrid into the best club of the 21st century. ”
'We all know that the world is going through a difficult time, but we want Real Madrid to regain its momentum and get the club back to where it belongs, and we will rely on the best talent and focus on everything, which will allow us to continue to be a model for all clubs.'
"I have always believed that the image of Real Madrid is our most valuable asset!"
Hearing Florentino's speech, everyone at the scene burst into a more enthusiastic applause again.
Only a real Real Madrid can understand what Florentino is thinking at this moment and the power of his words.
"We have been through a period of chaos, but we know that the more we are united, the further we can go, and it is an unprecedented challenge for us to establish Real Madrid as a leader in the sporting, economic and social spheres."
"We're going to build a team that can win honours, bring enjoyment to people and be a role model, and we're going to reinvent a dream and build on it!"
The scene once again erupted in thunderous applause.
"For me, this is a profound ceremony, an honor and a great responsibility."
"I know what we want and what our members expect from us, we have to relive our dreams, we come here with humility and passion, I know there are still many hurdles to overcome, but I am confident that I will lead my colleagues to reinvent the values that make Real Madrid the greatest club!"
Florentino also expressed his gratitude to the interim president of the transition, Boruda, for the work of the club's executive committee, players and coaches, as well as to all Real Madrid members, who are the only candidate, representing the trust and support of all Real Madrid owners.
Without the need for a re-election, Real Madrid has more than ten days to spare, which means that the club has more time to devote to transfer operations.
"We will bring in the best players in the world, make Real Madrid the best team in the world, and make Real Madrid the greatest club of the 21st century!"
Florentino's resounding speech made countless people at the scene deafened, especially in the eyes of media reporters, which almost represented a name.
Yang Yang!
