📝 Fernando[email protected] (FM): Pleasure to be here. Yes, I’ve watched Real Madrid since the galacticos era, so I’ve seen it all. The semi-final was a thrilling display of efficiency, wasn’t it?
IV: Indeed! let’s talk about Endrick, the Brazilian prodigy who’s taken the King’s Cup by storm.

IV: speaking of Vinicius Jr, racism seems to follow him. What’s your take on the recent incidents, and how is Real Madrid handling it?
FM: It’s disgraceful. Vinicius is one of our most exciting players, and for him to face such abuse repeatedly is unacceptable. Real Madrid has been vocal in denouncing racism, and the club has taken swift action against supporters involved in such incidents. Though, it’s a complex issue that requires collective effort from fans, clubs, and authorities. We’ve seen progress, but there’s still much work to do.
IV: You mentioned Mbappé earlier. With him out injured, Endrick filled his boots. Do you think Mbappé’s departure at the end of the season could hurt Real Madrid?
FM: Mbappé is an exceptional player, but Real Madrid has shown time and again that they can adapt and find solutions.If Mbappé leaves, it’ll be a blow, but it’s an prospect for players like Endrick,asecio, and othre youngsters to step up. We’ve seenCarvajal, Valverde, and Modrić retire recently, and the team has adapted.
IV: Let’s switch gears to the other part of your question, ‘mucho más.’ What else excites you about Real Madrid right now?
FM: I’m excited about our young players.Aside from Endrick,asecio has shown great potential,and Dani Ceballos is finally finding his form. Our academy, La Fábrica, is producing quality players, and that bodes well for the future.
IV: Do you think those younger players will lead Real Madrid back to dominance?
FM: They’re certainly capable. Real Madrid has a history of building teams around young talent – think of the galacticos,and more recently,our recent Champions League wins. With the right nurturing and opportunities, these young players could cement our dominance for years to come.
IV: Fernando, thanks for sharing your insights. Before we wrap up, do you agree with Carlo Ancelotti’s recent comments about prioritizing La Liga over the Champions League this season?
FM: It’s a tough one. Ancelotti has a proven track record in the Champions League, so perhaps he knows what’s best. However, as a Madridista, I always want to win everything. We’ve had a strong La Liga campaign, and maybe this is the year we focus on domestic domination.
