Discussion on Real Madrid's Current Challenges
Yes, since you mentioned Florentino Pérez, he has a great many critics,
uh, even those who claimed that
his time had passed.
I mean those who support Real.
Two very difficult seasons for Real
without trophies, and now the arrival of José Mourinho, whom many will conclude
has had his time. How do you view the situation at Real?
Well, I don't see it that way. He is the most successful president of Real
Madrid, and not only
Real Madrid, perhaps even in football history, in terms of
results that Real Madrid
achieved under him. But we must not forget one
fact.
Everyone has their time to arrive
and leave, just as Barcelona, after Messi,
needed years to
recover. If you remember, they played in the UEFA Cup.
They didn't even play in the Champions League.
Yes.
They were getting eliminated. Bayern would come and score seven against them,
eight titles.
I mean, that's a normal process in life.
Barcelona is, I mean, when we're talking about Real Madrid,
why hasn't it won?
Because Barcelona is here at this moment. That will change again.
Maybe not in three years, with this generation, or in another four or five generations.
If we remember Milan when, well, Boban was playing, the best Milan in history,
then
it disappeared. I mean, that's normal. Manchester United.
What was Manchester City? Nothing, some little club over there. Now it is.
I mean, everything in life has its own process.
Florentino Perez isn't doing anything worse than he did before, but simply, at
this moment, there are better ones.
The end. Beginning and end. Better ones came along.
No, it doesn't work. You can buy anyone you want, but it doesn't work.
I simply don't know what could happen for Real Madrid to win
the Spanish league with a Barcelona like this as things stand today.
But again, that's football. You never know, but that's, that's my
vision and what I see. But of course, when you get people used to the
very best, to trophies, the first time you slip up, you're no longer,
you're no longer that.
So his role, his role as president is to
secure the finances, to ensure one of the most stable clubs in the world.
His role isn't the sporting side. So, everyone works at Real Madrid.
Mr. José Ángel Sánchez, who is in charge of transfers there,
um, um, is the same man who was there when they
won everything, when they, when they,
when he was there and when they won the Champions League three times. They're the same people.
It's just not their moment. Well, we can't say now that they're no good,
and then
They were the best in the world, and now they're no good to you.
That's not exactly how it is.
But simply, at this moment, someone else is doing
better.
A new generation has arrived, new players, new
energy, and they're better. So what are we supposed to do now?
What? So...
Everything's simple with you.
So what now?
I mean, um, he's criticized, for example, for,
for José
Mourinho's arrival not being a good choice.
Well, when someone wants to criticize someone, they'll always find a reason.
This one's no good, who then, who should they have brought in?
It's their decision.
Maybe I don't agree with it, but do you think I know better than
them?
Probably not. They've won absolutely everything.
What they have in their, um, um, um, offices in terms of
trophies, I don't have that at home in
tiles.
Yes.
Do you understand? So how can I tell them what to do?
I can have my own opinion, but my opinion is irrelevant.
Yes.
I mean, those are the people most successful in
the world at what they do, and I congratulate them.
Um, I don't want them to be champions because I'm
a Barcelona fan.
In sporting terms, I prefer Barcelona. They're my friends, and for that
reason, they have all the respect in the world from me, and
I can't say anything different. There's no resentment about that.

Original transcript (Serbian)
Da, kad već spominješ Florentina Pereza, ima jako puno kritičara njegovih, uhm, pa čak i onih koji su tvrdili da je njegovo vrijeme prošlo. Mislim na one koji su pristalice Reala. Vrlo teške dvije sezone za Real
bez trofeja pa sad dolazak Joséa Mourinha za kojeg će mnogi utvrditi da je njegovo vrijeme prošlo. Kako gledaš na, na situaciju u Realu? Pa ja to ne gledam tako. On je najuspješniji predsjednik Real Madrida, a ne samo Real Madrida, možda i u povijesti nogometa po
rezultatima koje je Real Madrid napravio pod njim. Ali mi ne smijemo zaboraviti jednu činjenicu. Svatko ima svoje vrijeme dolaska i odlaska, kao što je Barcelona poslije Messija
trebala godine da se oporavi. Ako se sjećate, igrali su kup UEFA. Nisu ni igrali Ligu prvaka. Da. Ispadali su. Bayern im dođe pa im zabije sedam,
osam komada. Znači, to je jedan normalan životni proces. Barcelona je, z-znači, kad pričamo o Real Madridu, zašto nije osvojio? Zato što je tu Barcelona sad u ovom momentu. To će se opet promijeniti.
Možda ne za tri godine ova generacija ili opet za četiri, pet generacija. Ako se sjećamo Milana dok je, evo, Boban igrao, najbolji Milano u povijesti, pa je nestao. Znači, to je normalno. Manchester United. Šta je bio Manchester City? Ništa, neki klubić tamo. E, sad je to.
Znači, sve ima svoj u životu svoj neki proces. Florentino Perez ne radi ništa lošije nego što je radio i prije, ali jednostavno u ovom momentu postoje bolji. Kraj. Početak i kraj. Došli su bolji. Ne, ne ide. Možeš kupit kog hoćeš, al ne ide.
Ja jednostavno ne znam šta bi se moglo desit da Real Madrid osvoji španjolsko prvenstvo pored ovakve Barcelone na današnji dan. Ali opet, to je nogomet. Nikad se ne zna, ali evo, to je neka, neka moja vizija i ono što ja vidim. Ali naravno, kada naviknete ljude na sve najbolje, na trofeje, prvi put kad se oklizneš, a nisi više,
nisi više taj. Znači njegovo, njegovo kao predsjednik je da osigura financije, da osigura najs, jedan najstabilnijih klubova svijeta. Njegov nije sportski dio. Znači, svi ljudi rade u Real Madridu. Gospodin José Angel Sanchez, koji je šef za transfere tamo,
uhm, uhm, je isti čovjek koji je bio u doba kad su sve osvajali, kad su, kad su, kad je bio i kad su osvojili tri puta Ligu prvaka. To su isti ljudi. Samo ovo nije njihov momenat. E, ne možemo mi sad reći ne valjaju oni, a onda
su bili najbolji na svijetu, a sad ti više ne valjaju. A nije to baš tako. Ali jednostavno, u ovom momentu postoji netko kom ide bolje. Došla je neka nova generacija, neki novi igrači, neka
nova energija i bolji su. Pa šta da radimo sad? Šta? Tako da... Kod tebe je sve jednostavno. A šta sad? Mislim, uhm, zamjera mu se recimo da je od,
da je dolazak Joséa Mourinha, da to nije dobar odabir. Pa kad netko oće kritizirat nekoga, uvijek će nać razlog. Te nije ovaj, a ko, a koga su trebali dovest? To je njihova odluka.
Možda se ja s njom ne slažem, ali dal' vi mislite da ja znam bolje od njih? Pa vjerojatno ne. Oni su sve živo osvojili. To što oni imaju u svojim, uhm, uhm, uhm, uredima od, od pehara, to, to, to ja nemam kući u
pločicama. Da. Razumiješ? I sad kako ću ja sad pametovati njima? Ja mogu imat svoje mišljenje, ali moje mišljenje je nebitno. Da.
Znači, to su ljudi koji su najuspješniji na svijetu u svom poslu i ja im čestitam. Uhm, ne želim im da budu prvaci zato što sam navijač Barcelone. Sportski volim Barcelonu više. To su moji prijatelji i iz tog
razloga, ali sav respekt na svijetu imaju od mene i ne mogu ništa drukčije reći. Nema tu ljutnje na to.
