The situation
When the time comes to take stock of the year, Madrid will be the undisputed protagonist of any award ceremony worth its salt. The white club has been the great winner of the Globe Soccer, whose gala was held today Wednesday in Dubai. Madrid has won six awards : best club, best president (for Florentino Pérez), best CEO (for José Ángel Sánchez), best coach (Carlo Ancelotti), best player (Karim Benzema) and best scout of the year ( Juni Calafat, Madrid chief scout). “My gratitude for this Globe Soccer Award that I personally receive and also for the one that you have awarded to Real Madrid as the best club in the world. Being the president of Real Madrid is a source of great pride, but it is also a huge responsibility because this club generates a feeling that unites millions of people all over the world”, stated Florentino Pérez . “I share this award with all the madridistas who support us every day, and especially with our fans in the United Arab Emirates, with the aim of continuing to work to try to win new titles and share new joys”, added the white president. José Ángel Sánchez was in charge of representing the club at the gala. “There is no secret. What makes us maintain excellence is the good work of the players and employees . In the last 20 years, society has made many advances in technology, in the football industry and in the game itself. Perhaps the secret is to adapt to the new changes and at the same time be faithful to the identity of the club.
The details
This is what we try to do every day”, commented the CEO. For Benzema, it is his third recognition as player of the year, after receiving the Ballon d’Or on October 17 in Paris and having been awarded Player of the Year by UEFA at the gala that was held at the end of August to coincide with the draw of the group stage of the Champions League. Ancelotti also received the Coach of the Year Award from UEFA, in 2022 the one who has led Madrid to the conquest of the Champions League, the League, the European Super Cup and the Spanish Super Cup.
