The under-fire Real Madrid president has already vowed to take legal action after El Confidencial released details of an interview from 2009 during which Perez called Iker Casillas and Raul two of the biggest frauds in the club’s history. Ronaldo and Mourinho teamed up at the Bernabeu in 2009 and helped the Spanish giants end the domestic dominance of Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona during Perez’s first spell at the helm. ‘He is mad,’ Perez had said of Ronaldo in one of the audios released by El Confidencial. Why do you think he does that foolish thing?’‘Mendes does not order him, nor does he order Mourinho whatsoever,’ Perez said.
