A leaked
audio from 2006 has revealed that Florentino
Perez had some very interesting things to say about Real
Madrid legends Iker
Casillas and Raul
Gonzalez.
The president of Los Blancos was far from
impressed with the pair and didn't hold back in his criticisms of two players
he felt were undeserving of their status.
"Casillas is
not a Real Madrid standard
goalkeeper, what can I say? He's not and never has been," said Perez in comments published
by El Confidencial.
"He has been a big failure of
ours. The problem is people adore him, love him, talk to him, they defend him
so much.
"He is one of the biggest
frauds and the other is Raul,
the two biggest Real Madrid frauds
are first Raul and second Casillas."
These two club icons were singled
out, but Perez also revealed a poor
opinion of the players in general.
"The players are very
selfish, you can't count on them for anything," said Perez.
"If you do, you've made a
mistake and they'll let you down, it's ridiculous.
"I have an awful view of the
players."
The comments came in 2006, when Florentino Perez stood down
as Real Madrid president and
put particular blame on Raul as
part of the reason behind why he arrived at that decision.
