The recent statements of Joan Laporta, in the middle of his defence by the 'case Negreira' and the payment of the FC Barcelona to the exvicepresidente of the Technical Committee of Referees, on that the Real Madrid has been the club favoured along the history, has given the turn to the world and, few days afterwards, have 're-discovered' some statements of Sir Alex Ferguson in which they did reference to the same.

In this opportunity, the then trainer of the Manchester United complained after the Real Madrid fichara to Gabriel Heinze, in 2007, to treat to convince to his fellow, Cristiano Ronaldo. The technician explained that it was "disgusting" that the White House achieved what wanted and when they preferred it.

The 'dart' of Ferguson to the Madrid

In this moment, Ferguson explained to the magazine 'GQ' in 2008 that "the really disgusting is that the Real Madrid, as in his day was the club of the general Franco, possesses a history, before the arrival of the democracy to Spain, to achieve to the one who want to and of the form that wants".

It explained that "when we sold them to Heinze the past summer, knew what sucedería, because Cristiano Ronaldo felt very near of him. It knew what did. Andl Real Madrid was not interested in Heinze, that is definitely a good footballer, but the aim was to do with Ronaldo and the strategy was fichar to a good fellow his".

The statements of Joan Laporta

It is worth it to remember that Joan Laporta had declared that "it would like me comment the apparition of a club that has personado in the cause and that says that it feels prejudiced deportivamente. A club, the Real Madrid, that has been favoured historically by referee's decisions. Historically and in the actuality. A team that has considered the team of the on duty diet by his vicinity to the on duty power".

The president culé insisted in that "I think that is worthwhile to remember that, during seven decades, the majority of the presidents of the community were, of uninterruptible way, or exsocios of the Madrid, or exjugadores or exdirecivos of the Madrid. During 70 years, those that have designated to the people that had to decide justice have been exsocios, exjugadores and exdirectivos. And sometimes everything at the same time. That this club persone and allege that it feels prejudiced deportivamente in the best period of the history, seems me an exercise of unprecedented cynicism And what trust is that in this trial can them unmask".
