Cerezo Points to Florentino Days Before the Champions Derby, Surprising Words

The unexpected statements with which Enrique Cerezo has given his opinion about Florentino Pérez

The rivalry between Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid is one of the most historic in this sport. With this rivalry growing in recent years due to their clashes in the Champions League, both clubs will face each other again for this edition. With an atmosphere full of tension between both clubs, Enrique Cerezo's statements have been a surprise.

"The best president Real Madrid has had in its history," were his words to refer to Florentino Pérez. Praising the excellent work that the Real Madrid president has done, Cerezo's words have been a display of dignity and respect. Instead of increasing the tension before the Champions match, Cerezo chose to offer praise.

"He is a man who fights for his work, for his club, and for his players," added Cerezo to conclude his opinion about Florentino. Setting Florentino as an example to follow for the rest of the presidents, the impact of his excellent work is evident.

Praise from the Fierce Rival

Since the beginning of his second term at the helm of Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez has carried out impeccable management. Successful signings, multiple titles won, and a great economic state are just some of the achievements of his tenure. Gaining the respect of his players and fans, receiving the same from his fierce rival was unexpected.

Enrique Cerezo's words demonstrate that, even with the historic rivalry, one team can praise the other without issue. In this case, Cerezo acknowledged that Florentino's management of Real Madrid is what has taken the club far.

This shows that instead of creating tension and fueling the rivalry, maintaining a much calmer atmosphere is possible. Just days away from facing each other in the Champions League round of 16, this display of respect has not gone unnoticed.

Well-Deserved Respect

Cerezo's attitude is the result of the excellent work Florentino Pérez has done all these years. Even though Madrid was a highly respected club before he became president, his tenure has turned the team into a legend.
