Mistakes of Florentino Pérez This Season
Spanish radio station "Radio Marca" highlighted what it described as the most notable mistakes of Florentino Pérez, president of Real Madrid, during the current season, amid the team's negative results and ongoing crises.
According to the report, the first mistake was not signing an additional midfielder and another defender, despite the team's clear struggles with defensive balance and midfield connection, which negatively affected both performance and results.
The radio station also added that Pérez made a mistake by granting Vinícius Júnior extensive influence within the club, especially as his contract was nearing its end. This was interpreted as handing over the "keys to the team" to the player, which affected the discipline within the locker room.
Among the points raised was the allowance of acts of rebellion without clear accountability, with names such as Jude Bellingham, Fede Valverde, and Rodrygo mentioned, highlighting a lack of firmness and discipline in dealing with certain behaviors.
The source concluded by pointing out that another notable mistake was the lack of support for Xabi Alonso following the Vinicius crisis during the La Liga Clasico, considering that the decision came at a sensitive time and contributed to complicating the team's situation rather than resolving it.
It is worth noting that Real Madrid lost two out of the four titles they were competing for this season within just four days, as they lost the Spanish Super Cup to Barcelona and were then eliminated from the Copa del Rey by Albacete.
