The newly elected president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), Rafael Louzan, has been open about his preferences in the game. One of his first points of order last week was to fly to Doha, Qatar, to watch Real Madrid beat Pachuca in the Intercontinental Cup final.
In an interview with TeleMadrid that took place before the final, as carried by Sport, Louzan expressed his admiration for Real Madrid counterpart Florentino Perez.
“I will try to meet President Florentino in the Doha final and at the same time put myself completely at his disposal. “I have known him for many years and I have great admiration for his ability to work, for where he has taken this club and all of us Real Madrid fans are very happy with the way he has led this great club,” he noted on.
He called Los Blancos the best ambassador in the world.
“(At the Intercontinental) we are again confronted with the possibility, although it may seem easy, which it is not, that the best ambassador we have in the world, Real Madrid, could become champions. It seems that we are used to it, but despite that it is very difficult and it is very difficult to achieve what this great club achieves.”
Louzan was elected last week to a four-year term, but is awaiting the outcome of an upcoming lawsuit. He could be banned from holding any position in Spanish football for seven years following a charge of cheating while on Pontevedra's council. La Liga president Javier Tebas is also a Real Madrid fan, but after numerous meetings, arguments are common these days.
