Pérez began his candidacy presentation by attacking Riquelme, accusing him of orchestrating a 'subterranean campaign' against him. The current president claimed these were the same people involved in what he called the 'darkest period' in Real Madrid's history, referring to Ramón Calderón's presidency which ended in 'the biggest shame in our 124 years of history.'
Riquelme, in his defense statement, has called for a public debate to address the 'sombras' (shadows) surrounding management decisions involving Pérez's family members. He seeks to clear his name against what he perceives as unfounded attacks from his rival. cricket-ipl.in
