Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has compared fans whistling at the team’s players to whistling at their own children, blaming the influence of ultras who were expelled from the club. “Real Madrid socios should not criticize or whistle at their players. They should support them. But there are bad people in the club, which we identified when we expelled Ultras Sur, and those who resell tickets,” Perez said.
“We cooperate with the police and monitor the ultras that we do not allow into the stadium. I receive congratulations from everywhere because the ultras are not allowed in. But they want to get rid of us.”
“It hurts me to see players being whistled for poor performance. They need support. If Real Madrid plays badly, you can whistle all you want. But there is a movement that makes people dissatisfied with poor play whistle at them.”
“Whistling at your own players is like whistling at your own children. All of this is influenced by the ultras, the Amber movement, which is preparing something for Thursday’s match. Let them chant ‘Florentino, leave.’ Let them put forward their candidate in these elections and challenge me, because they have never challenged me before.”
“I do what is best for Real Madrid. I must protect Real Madrid. That is what my father taught me from a very young age,” Perez said.
