Real Madrid continues to build a team for the future that can dominate all world and European championships with a well-thought-out plan from the genius Florentino Perez, the historic president of Real Madrid.
Apart from Toni Kroos’ painful retirement, Real Madrid was able to maintain all its essential elements that contributed to winning the Champions League title last season.
Time and life take many turns, so the fate of many players cannot be truly controlled, which may explain what happened with Ferland Mendy recently.
According to information from the newspaper Defensa Central, the French defender is not a footballer who is distinguished by his brilliance or his wonderful technical shots on the field, but he is an essential piece for Real Madrid, a situation that Zizou has already warned about.
Zinedine Zidane told Florentino Perez how ideal it would be for Ferland Mendy to continue in the team, which was not clear at all at the time and will remain so.
In fact, Real Madrid have suspended the signing of Alphonso Davies until June 2025 for this reason, because there is an agreement in principle with the French full-back to renew, although he only needs to sign.
This shows that Florentino Pérez has accepted Carlo Ancelotti’s requests and also what Zinedine Zidane told him about his pupil when he was Real Madrid coach.
The decision of the Real Madrid president has been widely celebrated by the current technical staff, as Ferland Mendy is the best in the world at what he does, defensively, and this is what rivals and colleagues acknowledge, which explains the Italian coach’s happiness.
