We Will Reshape the Dream!

June 1, morning. Madrid, Spain. The Bernabéu Stadium's front hall.

The city's political and business elite had gathered in force. Madrid Mayor Gallardo had brought the government's core officials, along with Atletico Madrid president Cerezo, Getafe president Torres, numerous leading figures from Spanish sports, and key members of Real Madrid's fan organizations...

More importantly, media reporters from all over the world had gathered in the Bernabéu Stadium's front hall, waiting for the solemn inauguration ceremony that was about to begin.

In fact, everyone had known the result for a long time.

Ever since Florentino announced his candidacy in mid-May, there had only been one candidate for Real Madrid president.

Especially in the past few days, with no challenger appearing, Florentino's election had become a foregone conclusion. Everyone had begun looking forward even more eagerly to Florentino's transfer strategy and his moves after taking office.

Just last night, the all-pervasive media reporters had already dug up more inside information.

First, rumors had previously circulated that Florentino would send former Real Madrid president Calderon and general manager Mijatovic to prison, and that he had already gathered evidence of the crimes they had committed during their terms.

However, according to people close to Florentino, Real Madrid's new president had abandoned that idea. The reason was simple: he felt that doing so would bring no benefit to Real Madrid's image. One was the club's former president, while the other was a hero who had once brought Real Madrid its seventh Champions League title. Sending the two men to prison would do nothing beyond venting his anger.

Nevertheless, to prevent the same thing from happening again, he had appointed Pardesa, one of Real Madrid's former Quinta del Buitre and a man utterly loyal to the club, as sporting director. Pardesa would take over Mijatovic's authority
