Barcelona Legend Cruyff: Florentino Perez Doesn’t Know Anything About Football
The Dutch master has launched a stinging attack on his fierce nemesis and, in particular, at los Blancos’ potential future chief…
Former Barcelona player and coaching superstar Johan Cruyff has criticised Real Madrid once again as los Blancos prepare to elect a new administration this summer.
The boardroom at the Santiago Bernabeu has been besieged with problems this season and Cruyff is not surprised that the effects were felt by the team on the field.
“They are trying to reorganise at the very top because that is where they have failed. If it doesn’t work at the top, it will never function down below,” he told TV network Cuatro.
In regards to the possibility of Florentino Perez returning to the ‘White House’, Cruyff was unimpressed with the ex-supremo’s qualifications.
“He does not have enough knowledge about football to make decisions,” he said. “He has to rely on others to make them and that’s why he needs all these other people to decide for him.
“I imagine that [if he returns], he will not be involved with football matters. It is only logical. I do not know anything about construction and he doesn’t know anything about football. That much is clear.”

Pretty spot on. I don't really see it as a 'stinging attack' though, that seems more media spin than anything.
