All the English teams are fighting to try and get him to return there, but we are delighted with him. |
Arsenal want him to stay and I believe he will continue playing with them. |
For me you are the best-don't forget you are Real Madrid players. |
Garcia Remon will be here the whole season and we hope for many more, |
He is fully conscious. We talked about everything. He told me one must address life with a bit of philosophy and to me it seemed that his situation, given what he has been through, is normal. |
I can't take anymore, |
I discovered a very bad financial situation which I wasn't scared to guarantee with my personal wealth. Now I'm leaving with a gesture which has nothing to do with cowardice. |
I have spent some of the most intense and best years of my life as president of the club. |
I must repeat that my policy is to try to sign the best player in the world in every position where we do not already have that. Patrick Vieira is, in my opinion, the best in the world in his position, |
I really enjoyed the first four years. It was the happiest stage of my life but everything went wrong after Camacho quit. He showed he was a Madrid supporter but he left the club less affected than me. |
I spoke to him and he was very philosophical about what had happened. |
I think our honorary president is going to stay with us for a long time to come. |
I was a cork that needed to be popped to shake up the club. |
I wish him all the luck in the world for this wonderful challenge. |
I'd do it all again. I believe in emotions and spectacle, and without this magic it wouldn't be Madrid. Thanks to this philosophy I left the club the richest in the world. |
