Florentino Pérez, president of Real Madrid, has not given a press conference since 2015 and has remained relatively unknown to the public.
He took advantage of the announcement of new elections to show traits of his personality, particularly a defiant tone.
Pérez launched a series of attacks on the media, insisting that he will not resign and plans to take his fight against the Negreira case to UEFA.
Despite his successful track record, including seven Champions Leagues and seven La Liga titles, his recent behavior may reflect his weakness after two trophy-less years and unclear economic and sporting situation.
Conclusion: Pérez's defensive and combative attitude, rather than an introspective approach, might obstruct addressing the severe problems the club is facing.
