A 0-4 score in El Clasico was not enough to make Florentino Perez change his mind about not sacking Rafa Benitez after a result that really hurt Real Madrid and its fans. Perez made it clear that the Board of Directors has never doubted the capacity of the Spanish manager to turn things around down the road.
In a press conference called by the club under extraordinary conditions Monday afternoon at the Santiago Bernabeu, Perez spoke to the media trying to clarify the rumours around his teal. Most of them pointed out that Benitez would be sacked if they lost against Barcelona, while for Perez and his team, that was never an option.
Other than that, Florentino told the media that they should stop lying about what happens in Real Madrid. He disliked the idea that many publictations have been trying to hurt the 10-time Champions League. Things like that not only hurt him, but hurt the team as well.
He knows who really want him out of the team
Florentino says it is theUltra Surs who are behind the "Florentino dimisión" protests. "They're not hurting me, they're hurting Real Madrid"

For Florentino Perez, Rafa Benitez is the right man for this job. He has already talked with the former Napoli manager giving him his trust to keep on working with his project after the devastating loss. He wants outsiders to let the team work and not interfere with what happens inside closed doors.
Ronaldo has never said some of the things that the media has claimed
