Former Real Madrid president Ramon Calderon is at it again. He has given an interview in which he talked extensively about the current Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho. Calderon also had a thing or two to say about the current Real Madrid president Florentino Perez.
Ramon Calderon has been known to make big statements since his departure from the club. Last time I checked, he also said that he signed C.Ronaldo, not Florentino Perez. Just about everything good about Real Madrid right now is due to him, according to Ramon Calderon.
Calderon has compared Jose Mourinho with Hitler of Germany. Now I have not taken world history as a subject, ever but I do know that hitler killed a lot of people. Mourinho has not killed anyone (obviously), so to compare to personalities of different nature is unfair I think.
Ok, it might be true that both have somethings in common. Like both want to be in complete control of the things they are involved in and as far as I can tell, both do not like to be lead. They both know how to lead.
Anyway, enough with the comparisons. Do not even know why Calderon would compare such a figure with Mourinho. Calderon previously had said that Mourinho has damaged the reputation of Real Madrid and even now, he did not have anything good to say about the Real Madrid coach.
He said “You can have millions of fans cheering for you, but Hitler was also acclaimed by millions of people before he took a tumble“
May be Calderon is bothered about the fact that Mourinho has the backing of the club and the Real Madrid fans despite the fact that we could not win La Liga or beat Barcelona or win Champions League. I think the main reason for that is, we all know that Mourinho knows what he is doing. He has a plan. He aims to show his magic to us in the next season which I think he will.
He has formed a formidable team which can fight for titles till the very ending stages of the season and I think Mourinho is going to deliver next season.
Calderon however did not have enough and he also remarked on the performance of his successor, the current Real Madrid president Florentino Perez.
He said“I feel sorry for Madrid and Florentino. Yesterday [during the announcement that Valdano will leave Madrid] I had the sensation of seeing a student who didn’t know the lesson taking a primary exam”
“They talked so much about dysfunction that they may as well of been talking about erectile dysfunction. It reflects a pathetic picture. It was like seeing a corpse in search of a coffin.”
“We must not bury our heads into the sand. Madrid’s Florentino Perez have won the same amount of trophies as Betis, Zaragoza and Espanyol in his five years in office”
Now I respect this guy. I think he tried his best to produce the goods at Real Madrid but was not that successful at it but this is just crazy talk. I mean, regardless of the fact that the things he says might be true or false, I think in the end they all hurt Real Madrid.
They hurt the image of Real Madrid in the football world when our own people start to criticize the club and all the rest. All I can say is that Calderon should stop with his bickering and should attend to some serious work ahead if he wants to displace Perez from his spot in the coming years.
In other news, Besiktas striker Hugo Almeida has said that he would love to see Coentrao ply his trade at Real Madrid. According to him, Coentrao is the best left back in the world and any team would benefit from the resources that Coentrao has.
He thinks that though Marcelo is good, he would prefer Coentrao simply because of the fact that both are in the Portugal’s national team. He also thinks that it is like an honor to be courted by a team as big as Real Madrid and one should avail this opportunity while he can.
What do you guys think? I think Marcelo is good enough already and we do not need anymore players over there. We could, if Mourinho wants to play Marcelo further up the field. But even in that case I would go for the cheaper option in Gael Clichy from Arsenal. I think his pace is what we need at left back position in this Real Madrid side.
