The president of Real Valladolid, former Brazilian soccer player Ronaldo Nazário, has clarified this Thursday that the day he sells the club it will be to someone who “can contribute more” than him, not to make a financial profit since he has had ” offers” that meant “double” what he invested, but thinking of the best for the club and the city.
“The day I do it will be thinking of the best for the club and for the city, someone who can contribute more than me“, declared Ronaldo during “The APDV breakfasts”, organized by the Sports Press Association of Valladolid.
In fact, with this affirmation has been how he has said goodbye to his intervention in this act, in which he has spoken of his concerns, of his project with the blanquivioleta entity, the relationship with the Valladolid City Council, which has been represented by its mayor, Óscar Puente, or their opinions on different current issues related to football.
As he has warned, in his project with Real Valladolid, “there is much to be done” and his goal is to “leave an important legacy to the city”, for which he will continue to lead the entity until he fulfills his mission, with the creation of that Sports City that, although it has suffered delays “both due to the pandemic and bureaucratic procedures”, trusts that the works can begin “in August”.
“We are wanting to start, because it is an important initiative for the future of the club, for the academy, to offer better facilities to a community of 9 million inhabitants and to ensure, at least, others 39 more years of the club, since the aim is to turn it into an attractive pole for all football fans”, he detailed.
Regarding Real Valladolid, he clarified that, when he became president, the club’s debt amounted to 30 million euros, which have been reduced to 4 currently, and has been “optimistic” about a “direct promotion” of the team to First Division, although he is aware that he will still have to suffer, as he did in Anduva, in the match against Mirandés.
Regarding this meeting, he acknowledged that “it was horrific, a massacre”, from which they survived and endured “miraculously”, hence he left with “relief” once the three points at stake were added, since in his opinion “Mirandés deserved the victory more”.
It is clear to him that he cannot miss any of the remaining games which are finals”, and he has been “calm and confident” in terms of achieving said objective “because it is better to avoid heart attacks and go to the playoffs” and for that they have “a pretty good squad”, with which he has been last week, and to whom he has seen “well” despite the pressure he endures.
Regarding the new supporter’s card, Ronaldo pointed out that “there are fans who want to help the club but they can come to the stadium or consume products and, with this initiative, a Valladolid citizen who lives in Australia will be able to contribute to the growth of Real Valladolid”.
