Florentino Perez, in his most difficult stage as president of Real Madrid

Not good times to Florentino Perez in charge of Real Madrid . There are several fronts in recent months have weakened the president merengue facing the public and to have been at the center of the target at the moment. The straw that broke the camel seems improper alignment was last Wednesday Cádiz . While Florentino Perez has no direct fault in this occasion, yes white president is the head of the project and consequently whom they are addressed all reviews.

When in 2009 he ran for re Florentino, he said his back was because Real Madrid had to regain lost social peace in recent years. Social peace that six years later there seems to be found. While in its earlier stage problems were sporting interest, now sporting institutional problems, an explosive cocktail that the president could not stand out very well meet.

Last season ended without a title, a year that ended with blank dismissal of Carlo Ancelotti, and from there it seems that Real Madrid has not returned to do anything right. The first was the farewell of Iker Casillas, legend of the white club that went out the back door. It still hurts to see that image best goalkeeper in the history of the white club only in the press room before the media saying goodbye with tears in his eyes. Florentino wanted to erase that image and the next day a stag Iker Casillas in the Presidential Balcony of the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium was announced, but it was too late.

Following the departure of Casillas came trouble with the renewal of Sergio Ramos, vice-captain of the club. The Camas did not feel appreciated by the Real Madrid and the club put their backs to the wall. Florentino could not lose in less than a month to his two captains and finally closed the renewal of the center, but again left much media noise on the road.

Already begun and in the last day of signings, Real Madrid starred in one of the chapters that are remembered Dante season; the non-signing of David de Gea for the club. The delay in the signing of contracts ended with the keeper unable to close his move, because when register it as new white player were over 12 at night and the system crashed. Subsequently, Florentino gave explanations in a press conference, which was carrying the guilt over Manchester United. A few days later, De Gea renew with Manchester United and became the highest paid goalkeeper in the world.

A few months of respite until he reached the Classic, where Real Madrid was beaten by Barcelona with a 0-4 embarrassing, ending with some of the fans at the Bernabeu looking to box and calling for the resignation of the president. A few days later, the president had to leave at a press conference to ratify Rafa Benitez as coach of Real Madrid.

The last line of the nightmare moment -of living Florentino Perez at Real Madrid was written, as we said earlier, last Wednesday at the Ramon de Carranza. Real Madrid incurred misalignment to not be aware that Denis Cheryshev could not play in Copa del Rey. Florentino Perez went back to press conference to remove guilt at Real Madrid, which sat worse in amateur himself, who looks like Real Madrid will be eliminated from the competition unless unexpected miracle.

The question is to know how to get the Bernabeu to Getafe president's day, as Real Madrid do not tread their stadium since the embarrassing Classic against Barcelona. Florentino Perez can protect your hobby, because until next Friday the TAD not give the final verdict of Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey. By then the Real Madrid already played two matches in the stadium and not return to the White Coliseum until 20 December. Maybe that you can serve to prevent further Florentino pañolada where it is now, without doubt, the most difficult as president of Real Madrid stage.

FIFA President, Issa Hayatou Was Caught Sleeping On His First News Conference As Interim

Issa Hayatou seemed to fall asleep on the job in his first news conference as interim FIFA president yesterday, Thursday.

Just three weeks after undergoing a kidney transplant, it was easy to see why the 69-year-old official from Cameroon briefly snoozed during a long-winded slideshow presentation of FIFA’s reform program.

Still, the Confederation of African Football president was sharp and combative minutes later when quizzed on his links to wrongdoing allegations and his fitness for the task of leading FIFA through to the Feb. 26 election.

Issa Hayatou, temporarily replaces Sepp Blatter, the eighth FIFA president who was suspended over scandalous allegations of corruption.

Real Madrid disqualified from Copa del Rey

Real Madrid was disqualified on Friday of the Copa del Rey by the Spanish federation after using a suspended player in their opening game. In a statement, the federation said Madrid had used "improper alignment" in the game against Cadiz and the two-game series was decided "in favor of Cadiz".

Madrid disputed the facts stated in the conclusions of the federation said Friday night that it would present "a proper appeal."

Madrid coach Rafa Benitez included Denis Cheryshev in the starting lineup for the match on Wednesday and 24 Russian player scored the first goal in the 3-1 victory, before being replaced in the second half.

Cheryshev wearing a one-game suspension for accumulation of yellow cards and Francisco Rubio judge decided Friday that Madrid must be removed from the rest of the Cup.

Madrid was also fined 6,000 euros ($ 6,518). The club may appeal the decision and the president Florentino Perez said Friday it would explore all options to try to restore effective competition.

On Thursday, Perez had said the penalty was not applicable because Cheryshev not been personally notified of the suspension, which comes on when the player was on loan from Villarreal, and had not informed the Madrid club.

But the case is another embarrassment for the club and Benitez matter which was already under pressure after a demoralising 4-0 loss to archival Barcelona in the league.

In its ruling, Rubio said Cheryshev person had been notified of the suspension and that the notification was registered in the license the player. He further noted that the measure had been published by the federation and that is all that is required.

In his statement, Madrid said the federation had not notified Cheryshev in person and that was the only way that the penalty would have become effective.

However, the failure of the federation said that "there is no doubt that the player was notified in person and that the imposition of a suspension for a game derived from the accumulation of yellow cards was published".

Cadiz said in a statement that "regrets what happened" with Real Madrid and that "understands" the defense of the meringues to protect their rights. "The Cadiz can only regret what happened. At no time this club has wanted to be star of the Copa del Rey tie," said the statement, adding that the club abides by the decision of the federation.

The president of the Spanish League, Javier Tebas, said he feels that the elimination of Real cup might seem excessive, but that "we must obey the rules."

A Valencia in transition seek to stop a packed Barcelona

Valencia, immersed in a phase of transition between their last coach, Nuno Espirito Santo, and new coach, Gary Neville, try to stop a packed Barcelona, ​​which crosses his best game of the season and results.

Valencian team arrives to meet with many casualties and after a turbulent week for the change in his stool, which on this occasion will be Salvador Gonzalez 'Voro', which has covered the transit of Nuno Neville and his team try to stands up to Barcelona.

The Catalans, however, is immersed in a positive dynamic, it maintains the lead in the Spanish League and try to repeat the image offered in their last league displacement, in which they beat Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium by 0- Four.

Valencia facing the meeting after winning the orders of Voro in Barakaldo, which helped by Phil Neville, brother of the new coach, try to get on with the meeting despite the low through suspension and injury that has the template.

While Joao gates Javi Fuego and lost the clash through suspension, the list of absences through injury has Diego Alves, Mustafi, Orban, Barragan, André Gomes, Feghouli, Negredo and Rodrigo.

Mathew Ryan, after their strong performances last two could go in goal. Aderllan Aymen Abdennour and Santos will form the central pair with Jose Luis Gayà and Ruben Vezo on the sides.

In midfield, Enzo Perez and Dani Parejo will carry the baton and keep the back of a line of three formed by Zakaria Bakkali, Rodrigo De Paul and Santiago Mina.

Paco Alcacer  - Valencia, the only healthy striker campus, will be at the top of the scheme to take advantage of the mobility of the attacking players. Barca, who spent eight seasons without losing Mestalla going to win in a landslide and has been funding their past commitments, which have given a successful overall result: leading the league, qualified for the second round of the Copa del Rey and first in the group stage of the Champions League without having to wait for the sixth and final game of the tournament in Leverkusen to resolve their future.

With an almost spotless record since lost in Week 7 against Sevilla at Pizjuan (2-1), Luis Enrique Martinez eleven games have chained ten consecutive victories, among which one has cast a tie, the achieved against Villanovense in Extremadura (0-0) with a team full of substitutes and team players. Not only signature wins, but accompanied by the thrashings, as has occurred in the last four games (Real Madrid, 0-4; Roma 6-1, Real Sociedad, 4-0, and Villanovense 6-1).

This state of form also drags the team FC Barcelona in their last eight visits to Mestalla, where he started four wins and four draws (07/08, 0-3, 08/09, 02/02, 09/10, 0-0 , 10/11, 0-1, 11/12, 02/02, 12/13, 01/01, 13/14, 02/03, and 14/15 0-1).

The last win was signed last year, a little over a year, when Sergio Busquets furniture saved his team against Valencia CF with a goal in added time. For today's clash, Barcelona lose to exvalencian Jérémy Mathieu, who suffered an elongation in the right quadriceps rectus in the Cup match last Wednesday. Its low adds to the injured Sergi Roberto, Douglas Pereira and Rafinha.

Retrieves, yes, the goal Marc-André ter Stegen, low before the Villanovense by a sore left knee.

Also they returned to the starting five call to Luis Enrique left in the stands before the Villanovense: defenders Gerard Pique and Jordi Alba, midfielders Sergio Busquets and Ivan Rakitic and striker Lionel Messi.

So the Asturian coach, who in the last butler commitment also left on the bench Claudio Bravo, Andres Iniesta, Luis Suarez and Neymar da Silva, recover in the league its eleventh gala.

The output Mestalla will be the last game of weight that Barca on the agenda, before taking part in the Club World Cup in Japan, because in between travel to Leverkusen to participate in the irrelevant game against Bayer, while after you receive Deportivo La Coruna.

- Probable teams:

Valencia: Ryan, Vezo, Santos, Abdennour, Gayà, Enzo Perez, Parejo, Santiago Mina, De Paul, Bakkali and Alcacer.

Barcelona: Barcelona: Claudio Bravo; Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Jordi Alba; Rakitic, Sergio Busquets, Andres Iniesta; Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar.

Real Madrid, culminating with removal of the Copa del Rey

Real Madrid was eliminated Friday in the Copa del Rey, sanctioned by aligning Wednesday's 3-1 win against Cadiz Russian Denis Cheryshev player who weighed about a suspension from last season.

The judge of competition of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) considered "undue" Cheryshev alignment, "giving the match lost to Real Madrid CF and settled the tie." The penalty is accompanied by a fine of 6,001 euros ($ 6,520).

Real Madrid reacted by announcing, in a statement, that "present the appropriate resources, assured that the final outcome will be favorable to the club."

Its president, Florentino Perez, had already ensuring Thursday that the club was unaware of the suspension of Russian player and argued that there was no improper alignment because "nobody had notified the player that penalty" personally.

In his ruling, the judge "recognizes that the Royal Spanish Football Federation not personally notified of the sanction the player Cheryshev, which is the only way to effectively sanction the copper, as exhaustively set out in Article 41.2 of the Disciplinary Code," insisted the statement Of the club.

Cheryshev, author of the first target goal, was booked on March 6 when he still played for Villarreal in the second leg semi-final against Barcelona, ​​which he assumed his third yellow card in the tournament butler and consequently a match suspension.

The judge found that the Russian player neglects their punishment is comparable to "a professional driver does not know or remember that you have taken points from his license" "recklessness".

The president of the Spanish Football League, Javier Tebas, considered this excessive Friday excluding Madrid.

"He seems a little disproportionate for the Real Madrid (...) is out of the Cup, to me what hurts me is that a team like Real Madrid did not continue in the competition for a circumstance like this," he said."Errors he commit all," he added.

- Setback after setback -

The merengue club was investigated following a complaint lodged by the Cadiz, which reacted Friday "obeying" the decision.

"The Cadiz can only regret what happened. At no time this club has wanted to be star of the Copa del Rey tie, rather than the party which led to our city, welcome the visit of one of the most important entities world football, "he said.

The elimination of Real Madrid in the tournament butler is a new blow for the club, which in recent months has continued to suffer setbacks both on and off the field.

The failed signing of Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea and Iker Casillas output, a worrying series of injuries joined, after which came the heavy defeat against Barcelona in the league (4-0) on November 21, the Karim Benzema situation, accused in an alleged blackmail, and now this sanction.

Although it has been ranked in the Champions League as group winners for the second round, launched in the Spanish League in third place with 27 points, six behind leaders Barcelona, ​​and two behind second-placed Atletico Madrid.

Real Madrid is so out of a competition that sometimes serves to save a season without results on other fronts.

The last time the merengue club was eliminated in the early rounds of the Cup was in the 2009-2010 season in the famous "Alcorconazo". The team full of stars and Manuel Pellegrini on the bench, lost the tie 4-1 (4-0, 0-1) against lowly Alcorcón that time militated in Second Division B (Spanish third division).

Nor is this a first for coach Rafa Benitez, who in the 2001-2002 season when Valencia was technically has already been eliminated from the Copa del Rey by improper alignment, this time for having aligned to four non-EU players simultaneously .
