Curious 'Formula' Revealed by Florentino Pérez to Win so Many Titles

Real Madrid's president spoke in the mixed zone after winning the fourth Intercontinental Cup

Real Madrid's victory in the Intercontinental Cup means that several records have been achieved at Real Madrid. One of the most striking is that of Carlo Ancelotti, the coach with most titles in the club's history. Another of the protagonists on this occasion is Florentino Pérez.

Because the Meringue president, one of the longest-serving in office, has won 65 titles during his term in office in the soccer and basketball disciplines, proof of his great management. The control of the entity that the boss and his board have carried out since they returned in 2009 has brought many more trophies than the Real Madrid fans expected.

The competitive mentality of the white club is very present in the words of Florentino Pérez, who made some statements after winning the fourth Intercontinental Cup last night. For the leader of the white team there are not many 'secrets' to maintain this spectacular winning rhythm.

According to what he said in his brief interview with El Chiringuito de Jugones, in reality it seems to be quite simple. Because Florentino Pérez makes it clear that "the most important thing is having a good team and a good coach". This direct reference to Carlo Ancelotti, after all the rumors discussing his continuity several weeks ago, is really striking and appreciated.

More and better

"That's what I've tried to do all these years and we've won, in truth, many titles. We have the ambition to continue winning them," confessed the chief executive of Real Madrid after the match at the Lusail stadium. Now the most difficult part remains, as can be inferred from the words of the Merengue president.

Real Madrid's next game, although it will be played at Santiago Bernabéu, is a key encounter for the future of the season. Sevilla's visit to the Coliseum gives the team the opportunity to go into the Christmas break as league leaders... provided that Atlético de Madrid and FC Barcelona draw in the match that will take them on the same day.

The ambition to continue winning titles is very present at Real Madrid and has been the reason, during the years of Florentino Pérez's second term, for many changes. Especially in the first team, accelerating the generational change since the summer of 2018 to recover the talents lost in Santiago Bernabéu locker room.

The signs and results of this process have arrived almost immediately, all of them under the tactical command of a Carlo Ancelotti who became a legend in Doha. Florentino Pérez is happy... but he is anxiously awaiting the start of the second half of the current season.
