Enrique Riquelme continues taking steps in the campaign. The candidate for the presidency of Real Madrid continues to give hints of what his sporting project will be, without wanting to reveal the names yet because “there is a lot of campaign left” and because he is focusing his first days on finishing the project for the partner that he will present this Wednesday (12:00 Spanish peninsular time). Of course, it already gives clues.
“Real Madrid does not have any player in the Spanish team. That seems to me… In 16 World Cups there have been, there have always been Real Madrid players. And as a Real Madrid fan I am screwed, and that has a solution,” said Riquelme in El Partidazo de Cope. And he broke the news: “If I am president of Real Madrid, there will be a Spanish player in the World Cup who will be from Real Madrid“.
Riquelme had announced in the previous days that he had two big stars signed. Now the nationality of one of them is known… and something else, which is part of the list of 26 players called up by Luis de la Fuente to play in the World Cup this summer.
A coach who is not free
After that announcement, Riquelme also spoke about the coach. Without wanting to give names or clues, he did leave an important piece of information. “He’s not free,” he said. That is to say, the coach he has signed in the event that he wins the Real Madrid elections is currently on the bench, He is training and not unemployed. That takes out of the equation many technicians who have been talking about.
“We closed the coach before the candidacy,” he also assured, something that makes sense with what he said before presenting said candidacy, that he had to first see if he could propose something meaningful and then launch into the elections. With the sports director and the coach closed, Riquelme took the step.
What worries you most about the elections
Riquelme also responded to other questions. Among them highlighted his revelation about what he fears most about the electoral process: “Without a doubt, voting by mail.” And he also spoke about the rumors that try to connect his candidacy with Pedro Sánchez’s entourage: “It seems to me that anything goes in this campaign. That is totally false, of course.”
