'El Confidencial' shoots with a bullet against Florentino Pérez

BarcelonaIn Madrid, they still have not digested the act of rebellion by Vinícius, Mbappé, and Konaté in refusing to wear a solidarity shirt for the people of Ceuta. So much so that now they are starting to fire, by elevation, at Florentino Pérez. The best example is an article signed by Kike Marín – a sports journalist with long experience who has worked for Mark andAs– a El Confidencial titled "The offense of Mbappé, Vinícius and Konaté in Ceuta, another symptom of the lack of control at Real Madrid". The journalist points to one of Pérez's main advisors, the Moroccan-born Anas Laghari, as being responsible for this lack of control and for some decisions that are difficult for Madrid fans to understand, such as the low profile the club has adopted regarding the Ceuta cause. "The simple fact that the honorary president of Real Madrid, José Martínez Pirri, even if it is from Ceuta it should embarrass Mbappé, Vinícius and Konaté", he writes. "It seems that the club is slipping out of Florentino's hands", he concludes.

The article also warns that internal opposition to Florentino is growing and that more and more members are looking towards the figure of Enrique Riquelme, who received 35% of the votes in the elections. What is the problem? Well, Riquelme has decided to move the tax residence of his holding company to Panama to pay fewer taxes. Would Real Madrid vote for a candidate who is, for all practical purposes, a tax evader? The funniest part of this story is how the news itself was explained by El Confidencial in a tweet: "Enrique Riquelme moves his fortune to Panama due to Pedro Sánchez's tax pressure".

We have reached, therefore, the end of the road. It is the evil Pedro Sánchez who does not let Florentino Pérez have a proper, credible alternative and the one who, in some way, always ends up favoring Barça.
