“Ronaldo Is An Idiot, Mourinho Is Abnormal,” Real Madrid President, Perez Said In Leaked Audio
In a recently leaked audio recording, Real Madrid President Florentino Perez is heard denigrating former manager Jose Mourinho and former player Cristiano Ronaldo.
Mr Perez, 74, who was at the center of the unsuccessful European Super League, called Mourinho and Ronaldo idiots in a 2012 discussion obtained by Spanish digital publication El Confidential, describing the duo as sportsmen with horrible egos.
“This guy is an idiot, a sick man.
You think this guy is normal, but he’s not normal, otherwise, he wouldn’t do all the things he does,” Los Blancos president Perez said of Ronaldo.
Blasting further, Mr Perez said: “Mourinho is an idiot.
“It is not that he does not want to play.
”Well, he’s a bit abnormal.
”He drives without a license.
“That said, he has been overwhelmed by the pressure.”
“These are guys with a terrible ego, both spoiled, the coach and him, and they don’t see reality,” he added.
According to reports, the tape was recorded in 2012, shortly after Mourinho joined Real Madrid, when he won La Liga with a record points total in 2011–12.
During his time at the club, he also won the Copa del Rey and the Supercopa de Espana.
The audio leak comes as speculation over Ronaldo’s return to Los Blancos grows.
However, the club’s president ruled out the possibility of the Portuguese star returning to the club in June.
Ronaldo is widely regarded as one of the club’s most successful players, having won four Champions League titles, three Club World Cups, and two UEFA Super Cups, as well as two LaLiga crowns, two Copas del Rey, and two Spanish Super Cups.
