The priority? Protect the locker room
In reality, this decision by the reigning European champion is part of a new strategy now applied by Prez. With the objective of protecting the balance of the locker room and the strength of the institution, the Madrid boss no longer wants to give too much importance to the personal interests of certain players. With Ronaldo, the risk was far too great for Real…
