"We're going through a golden period, just like the one witnessed in Di Stéfano's time", added the Real Madrid president.
The Real Madrid president, Florentino Pérez, spoke to Realmadrid TV about the accolades the club's representatives picked up at the FIFA The Best Awards ceremony: “It's an honour to be president of Real Madrid and all the more so on days like this. Having these players and this coach constantly working to uphold the club's values, to win all of these trophies… this is public recognition that comes from supporters from across the globe. I'm certain that all madridistas are thrilled that we've got this team, this coach and the legend that is Cristiano Ronaldo".
Premios The Best
"Cristiano has won four Ballons d'Or and I'm certain that he'll win a fifth, he's an incredible player. It'll be unlikely that another player like him will come along and what we have to do is just enjoy watching him. It's impossible for him to be doing any better, he's really deserving of praise because this is a man that works every day and makes sacrifices. He thinks solely about football and satisfying the supporters. He is quite simply The Best".
IT'S BEEN A BLESSING TO HAVE HAD ZIDANE HERE AS A PLAYER AND NOW AS A COACH.
"Zidane transformed a whole period of history when he joined the club as a player and he has now done the same as a coach. He identified so strongly with the club's values when he came to Real Madrid. It has been a blessing from above to have had him here as a player and now as a coach".
A team of legends
"We're going through a golden period, just like the one witnessed in Di Stéfano's time. This blend of top players and a great coach has delivered the triumphs that all of us madridistas are revelling in".
