In Madrid, there are days of concern after Cristiano Ronaldo's departure for Juventus, but Real's president, Florentino Pérez, was calm yesterday (or at least he looked like him) and left a guarantee that should instill in the fans a new mood. "It's a great team that will be enhanced by some wonderful players," said the manager, on the sidelines of the presentation from Álvaro Odriozola, who was signed to Real Sociedad this summer. The name of the Portuguese international, presented last Monday in Turin, has never been raised, but the leader of the champions of Europe has left behind him that the club is a thing of the past and that the recent success would not have occurred without the strength of the collective. "We are Real Madrid and we want more," he said.
It was, of course, rest, with those same successes that Florentino tried to prove that the club is capable of everything. "Nobody believed that we would be able to win another Champions League, we are living one of the best stages of our history and we have great strength as an institution, it's a memorable moment, so we must continue to be true to our identity.
The words reflect tranquility, but for the moment, only three reinforcements are guaranteed (in addition to Odriozola, came goalkeeper Andriy Lunin and the extreme Vinícius Júnior), no able to forget the unforgettable CR7.
