944 The end of an era

January 2009, 1 at 16:6 pm.

Real Madrid had ended the pre-match pre-match meeting for tomorrow's league an hour before.

But the players did not leave the training base, they have been informed that the club will hold a press conference.

The news came suddenly and as expected.

The leadership team headed by Calderon must give an explanation to the outside world, instead of responding perfunctorily like a personal interview, which will only make the anger of Real Madrid members more and more intense.

Today's newspaper has revealed in advance that Calderon has only two choices.

First, he voluntarily resigned to keep his board of directors, that is, the interests of the group headed by him.

Second, wait for the members to vote to overthrow him!Then his leadership team will be gone by then, how can there be eggs under the overturned nest?

In the past, Calderon always played the common political trick of "abandoning the car to protect the handsome man". Now it is his turn to face the group's interests and whether to sacrifice himself.

The players watched the live broadcast of the press conference in the meeting room, and Madrid's TV station had already come to Real Madrid's press hall.

The press hall was overcrowded, no reporter was sitting in a seat, everyone stood up, wishing they could be crowded on stage.

When Calderon appeared, the scene was brightly lit, like a star coming out, and the reporters stretched their microphones forward one after another, hoping to clearly receive every word Calderon would say next.

In this situation, it is impossible to think that the chairman of Real Madrid, who was ranked 51st in the global sports circle by an authoritative sports magazine at the end of last year, is being sought after by the outside world.

In less than two weeks, he has turned into a street rat, and now, people are just watching what decisions he makes.

Should he kill himself to have a good time, or wait for a revolution initiated by Bernabéu members to push him to the guillotine!

Calderon looked calm at first, but when he began to speak into the microphone, his eyes were moist.It is impossible to know whether it is really aggrieved and sad because of being bombarded by public opinion, or it is a well-planned bitter drama.

"I have decided to resign as president of the Real Madrid club out of distrust of the board of directors I lead. I admit that I have made mistakes, but I did not act against the rules. I have a clear conscience and clean hands. I am not a coward and hope to use Resignation in return for appeasement of the Real Madrid public."

There were tears in Calderon's eyes during the news conference, and it was clear from his voice that he was angry.

"Those who care about Real Madrid are shocked every day by stories made up by the media. But these reports have completely lost their moral compass and I condemn their approach. My departure may be a success and a victory for these people. I am proud that I have served for the best team in the world and thank the directors of the club for their support during my tenure."

Calderon went on to thank his wife and children.

"Thank you to my wife Teresa for being there when I wasn't around. She endured pain and sacrificed. Also apologies to my kids for being attacked and defamed, not even my profile and photos. the claws of the evil. Thank you and may God bless you."

The scene has been quiet, and Calderon's resignation speech did not move people's hearts and win sympathy. Now people just accept this fact calmly, but even this situation has long been foreseen.This news will also cause a sensation in European football.

After announcing his resignation and giving a speech, Calderon then explained to the outside world how Real Madrid will operate next.

Vice-President Vicente Boruda will temporarily take over club affairs as Acting President until a new President is elected.

thus.After Calderon sat in the chairmanship for 940 days, his Real Madrid era officially ended!

Calderon did not leave amidst applause, nor did he run away amidst abuse. When he was no longer the chairman of Real Madrid, he was left as a lawyer, and no one cares about the back of a 57-year-old man.

The Madrid media quickly spread the news.Real Madrid has changed!

Boluda, who took over the position of chairman, began to step onto the stage. The former vice chairman of the club had no real power and was more like a mascot.

So for the outside world.Boluda naturally became the focus of attention from the outside world.

Boluda delivered his inaugural speech, and on behalf of the club, he thanked Calderon for his contribution to the club during his two and a half years of service.And repeatedly emphasized that the brilliant record achieved by Real Madrid last season is inseparable from Calderon's painstaking efforts.

But what he said did not make the members buy it, but the rules are the rules. According to the management charter of the Real Madrid Club, after Calderon resigns, the members cannot "impeach" Boruda at this time. It seemed unreasonable.

However, Boruda joined the club's board of directors after Calderon took over the Bernabeu and became the vice chairman. He is obviously a member of Calderon's political group. Calderon's resignation decision must also have It is a foreshadowing for the follow-up to wipe the ass and avoid settlement after autumn.

Boluda's primary job after taking office is not only to appease the morale of the club, but also to resolve the issue of when the chairman election will be held as soon as possible.

Since Calderon has stepped down as chairman, there are two voices even in the Real Madrid board of directors. One view is that Real Madrid should hold the chairman election in advance after the end of the season, so that Real Madrid can make full use of the summer transfer period as soon as possible. Re-enter the development track, and another view is that Boruda acting Calderon's chairmanship should be held after the expiration of the general election, that is to say, the Real Madrid presidential election will be held in the summer of 2010.

As a Spanish shipping tycoon, Boruda suddenly became the chairman of Real Madrid, and he naturally hopes to sit in this position for a longer time.

Therefore, after he took office, his main energy will be on dealing with and wooing internal "partisans".

He definitely wants to hold a presidential election in 2010, so that he will have enough time to manage his contacts to achieve the goal of re-election, which makes his focus of work after that completely separated from the concern about the club's sports affairs.

The good news for the Real Madrid club is that Boluda will not dare to touch Bosque, and will also reduce his intervention in sports affairs. After all, in this period, no matter what decision he makes, he will give others a handle. become a reason for the opposition to attack him.

On this day, the Calderon era of Real Madrid is over! (to be continued~^~)
