Florentino moves on intuition. I see him a bit out of his depth, a bit overwhelmed by events.
With the stadium cost overrun, the Super League, the parking lot, the lawsuit over the stadium name also lost,
firing the coach five months after hiring him.
Here the coaches who have succeeded, coaches who have shown they had authority, here there have been three, Zidane, Del Bosque and Ancelotti.
Now people are talking about Mourinho. I have a certain fondness for him.
The stadium. You have spoken about cost overruns.
From what they tell me, it is going for 1.7 billion. Of course, it would have cost much less to build a new stadium.
It is impossible to go to the Ganaves.
It has become excessively commercialized. It has almost turned into a theater for foreigners.
Speaking of Cristiano Ronaldo, in the end Florentino has tried a bit to take ownership of that signing that you started.
There is something I have to tell, but when Florentino arrived and saw that contract, he did not want to carry it out, he did not want to take it to the federation
and he did not want to accept that a player he had not signed himself could be the player who would succeed the way he did later.

Original transcript (Spanish)
Florentino se mueve por intuiciones. Yo le veo un poco superado, un poco desbordado por los acontecimientos. Con sobrecoste del estadio, la Superliga, el aparcamiento, el pleito sobre el nombre del estadio también perdido, el destituir al entrenador a los cinco meses de haberlo contratado. Aquí los entrenadores que han triunfado, entrenadores que han demostrado que tenían autoridad, aquí han sido tres, Zidane, Del Bosque y Ancelotti. Ahora se habla de Mourinho. Yo le tengo cierta simpatía.
El estadio. Ha hablado usted de sobrecostes. Por lo que me dicen, va por 1.700 millones. Claro, hubiera costado mucho menos hacer un estadio nuevo. Es imposible ir al Ganaves. Se ha mercantilizado en exceso. Se ha convertido en un teatro para extranjeros, casi. Hablando de Cristiano Ronaldo, que al final Florentino se ha intentado un poco apropiar de ese fichaje que inició usted.
Hay una cosa que tengo que contar, pero cuando Florentino llega y vio aquel contrato, no quiso llevarlo a cabo, no quiso llevarlo a la federación y no quería aceptar que un jugador que no había fichado él pudiera ser el jugador que triunfara como lo hizo después.
