Florentino Dodges Mourinho Questions: "We're Not at That Stage"

Florentino Pérez sidestepped questions about José Mourinho during an urgent press conference held this Tuesday afternoon, opting instead to focus on the snap elections he announced.

"I didn't expect to be asked that... We're not at that stage of the process. We are at the stage of ensuring that Real Madrid belongs to its members, who want to take the club from us. I want to debate with them and have them come forward. I will ask them what they have done for Real Madrid in their lives. I have to put an end to the absurd campaign against Real Madrid. There has never been a more glorious Real Madrid in history. I was elected the best president in the history of the club and of all clubs, which I'm almost embarrassed to say. Today, we are not talking about football," he declared.
