[0:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=6) Uh, today they, uh, made a video compiling uh, moments of mine and El Partidazo from the past ten years. They've cut it, edited it, added stuff, whatever, and, and uploaded it to the— since, since Florentino doesn't have social media, [0:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=22) well, he uploaded it directly to Madrid's social media, which is, um, completely unprecedented. I don't think it's ever happened before. [0:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=29) The first thing I want to say is that I'm very surprised, very surprised, um, by how much Florentino has lowered the standards of his enemies. [0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=41) I mean, Florentino had Ceferin as an enemy, president of UEFA, Sánchez Galán, the president of Iberdrola, and now, all of a sudden, he's taken me and El Partidazo as enemies. And he's going all out. [0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=57) And it's something that, that, that perhaps also shows a certain weakness. [1:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=61) When you're president of an institution like Real Madrid and you're worried about, Juanma Castaño and El Partidazo, it means you've lowered the level of your battles a little, probably because you've lost the big battles. [1:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=76) All this stems from, if anyone, um, is unaware, it stems from, it stems from that, uh, comparison I made the other day in a column in the ABC newspaper. [1:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=86) I don't think it comes from that anymore. I mean, uh, uh… [1:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=90) Indeed, Florentino has, has found that, that, that crack through which the water gets in, and from there everything else has followed. [1:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=99) But it seems quite disproportionate. To me, I say this quite naturally, it seems quite disproportionate. [1:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=106) Thinking about it a little, uh, I think Florentino, well, would have gotten angry on Sunday, maybe, right? [1:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=112) I mean, when we said that the other day in the Metropolitano box, he got very angry when, uh, we said that the moment someone told him that Riquelme was there in the Metropolitano, in the box, Florentino said, “If I run into him, I’m leaving. I’m leaving the stadium. [2:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=128) If I see him, I’m leaving the stadium.” This is probably a situation that, that, that, that Florentino, hearing it on the radio, may have been a little embarrassed by or may not have liked getting out, but it’s just what it is. [2:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=143) That’s just how this program is, that I’m not going to say here what Florentino wants. [2:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=149) And that’s what Florentino takes worst, that I-I have never adapted... in the radio style that I'm sure he wants. [2:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=161) Uh, he's turned me into, into an enemy, and I think the enemies are somewhere else. [2:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=169) I mean, really, what am I to blame for at, at Madrid? [2:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=176) Am I to blame for them not showing a red card the other day to, Camiling, when I even said it was a red card, and, and the other thing, the Cuti Romero thing? [3:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=187) Am I to blame that the Super League went badly for him and for saying so? [3:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=191) Am I to blame for him building a stadium to hold concerts and for saying so, and him not being able to hold them? For the parking project falling through and for saying so? [3:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=202) Am I to blame for him renewing Vinícius's contract and people not being excited about Vinícius's contract extension? For spending 140 million euros on Diomandé and, hey, maybe in a few years he'll be worth three hundred, [3:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=214) but today people, the Real Madrid member thinks he isn't worth 140 million euros? [3:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=220) Who's to blame for that? Me, for coming here and reporting it, commenting on it and giving my opinion? [3:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=227) Is it my fault that Mbappé is going to possibly be the Ballon d'Or winner and there's bad blood with him there at the stadium, despite scoring flukes, goals for fun? Who's to blame for all that? [4:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=240) Is it me or Florentino? That's the question I ask myself. We talk, report things, give our opinions, but the decisions that have led to this difficult start to Real Madrid's season are made by them, by him. [4:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=262) So, I understand that it's very convenient during this international break to distract people a little with the referee, with Juanma Castaño, with this and that, but the reality is, The truth is, Madrid's problem isn't me. [4:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=276) Madrid's problem isn't me. Madrid's problem is that Barça is six points ahead and plays football very well. [4:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=287) And I have no place in that. [4:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=292) I'm not going to change. I'm not going to change. [4:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=295) I don't care if they make videos about me, statements. [4:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=298) I don't care if they throw at me um, everything they've thrown at me today. [5:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=304) I couldn't care less. Does it piss me off? [5:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=306) Yes, it pisses me off, but it's also part of the pay and my job. [5:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=310) On El Partidazo, I'll keep saying what I think I have to say with honesty. No one has ever, no one has ever sued me, of course, no one has convicted me of telling a lie. [5:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=322) Never, no one. [5:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=326) And I'll keep doing the radio show we do here every night. [5:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=329) And I'm going to do one thing, separate Florentino from Real Madrid, because there are many Real Madrid fans who disagree with what Florentino does. And there are many Real Madrid fans who do not subscribe to this style Florentino has shown today on Real Madrid's social media. [5:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=347) Real Madrid is not to blame for what happened today, Florentino is. [5:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=352) And from now on, my job is to distinguish between Florentino and Real Madrid. When I criticize, I'll criticize Florentino Pérez. [6:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=361) And when I have to say, as I've said a thousand times, that, to me, he is the best president in Real Madrid history for everything he has done and achieved, I'll say that too. I won't have any problem with it. [6:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=371) And this empty microphone here is for him. [6:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=373) Whenever he wants, however he wants. And let's stop with videos, statements and tweets. [6:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=379) We can talk here without any problem. I don't have any problem. [6:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=384) He's the one who does. [6:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=388) That's freedom of expression, not threats or intimidating, intimidating people by throwing a lot of filth at them. [6:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/2lOkIPuIWpVV/en/juanma-casta%C3%B1o-responds-to-florentino-p%C3%A9rez-after-real-madrid-video?t=400) I won't change. I'll keep being this way.
