Fernando Morientes, the former Real Madrid striker renowned for his natural goal-scoring ability, recently shared his thoughts on the ongoing presidential election at Real Madrid as well as the current state of the Espagnol national team. Having once commanded the centre-forward position both for Madrid and Spain, Morientes remains deeply engaged with football, now offering his insights through the media.
Reflecting on the upcoming club election, Morientes expressed a sense of anticipation: “I’m experiencing it with great expectation, let’s see what happens on Sunday.” He welcomed the democratic debate surrounding the candidates, seeing it as a healthy sign for the club and its supporters. “I like to see this movement because I think it is healthy, debate is democratic… both candidates want what is best for Real Madrid,” he remarked.
Among the contenders, Enrique Riquelme’s team features several of Morientes’ former teammates, including Raúl, Iker Casillas, and Fernando Hierro. Despite the connections, Morientes confirmed that he has not been approached with any proposals regarding involvement. “No, I am calm and happy with what I do,” he said, adding that although he has tried to become a club member with voting rights, the process remains difficult. “I am not fortunate enough to be a club member, even though I have tried, but it is very complicated to become one,” he stated.
On the International Stage
Turning to international football, Morientes highlighted the strength of Spain and France, emphasizing that their superiority lies in the individual talent of their players. “Spain and France are at a higher level than the others because of the individual quality of their players,” he noted, acknowledging the competitive edge these teams hold.
