Florentino freestyle: best lines from a surreal appearance

Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez appeared before the media this Tuesday to announce that he will not resign and that he is calling elections.

That is the big headline, but the president also had time to passionately defend the club, directly attack critical media outlets, argue with a couple of journalists, and along the way leave us with a host of memorable quotes.

Was it the most surreal press conference ever from the Real Madrid president? Here we bring back his best quotes.

"I regret to tell you that I am not going to resign."

"Some people have said that I have terminal cancer. I want to take this opportunity so that the people who have been worried about me know that my health is perfect."

"I am going to finish off all the bad guys. I am not going to stop, have no doubt about it."

"Leave the enemies inside to me."

"They have robbed us of seven league titles"

"There is a conspiracy of journalists who think they run Real Madrid."

"The Segurolas, the Relaños... we call them 'the intellectuals of the regime'."

"Onda Cero? Speak to Segurola, please. I've got one in every place."

"That girl there, who has the right to speak. All of you are very ugly." (As he gave the floor to a veteran Fox journalist.)

"We are not at that procedural stage." (When he was asked whether he would sign Mourinho.)

"My father used to read ABC and subscribed me many years ago. I have made the decision to cancel my subscription to honor my father, who will thank me for it."

"The players fight every season because they get worked up. The difference is that someone has told it for the first time, and we know who told it."

"That gentleman who talks to the electric companies and who has a South American accent should come forward. A Mexican accent."
