The Banner with Which Manchester City Welcomed Vinícius was to remind Real Madrid of the lack of dignity shown with the delivery of that award.
The same spokespersons-supporters of Florentino Pérez who applauded for not going to Paris are the ones accusing City of lack of dignity for yesterday's banner.
City, Without Greatness, Respect, and Dignity
This is how the radical panelist of El Chiringuito José Luis Sánchez explained it:
"Eager to return to our wonderful country. One must be very respectful, and there are people who are not.
What we've heard from Pep Guardiola didn't please me. What City did with a banner and a photo of Rodri, neither. Just as Vinícius was entering, City immortalized a photo.
When you face the European champion, you must demonstrate greatness, respect, and dignity. And I think today, with the banner and that photo, City didn't demonstrate it."
Josep Pedrerol completed the information by denouncing that "it was Manchester City that had put up that photograph."
They have no memory. How bad Manchester City is with their banners and how good Real Madrid is with theirs and also showing greatness, dignity, and respect with the videos from Real Madrid TV. That's really good.
They Are Very Sensitive
They are very sensitive to what interests them. Free rein for Real Madrid. It's the others who must respect their neighbor.
The banner is like Valverde's punch to Baena. The denied involvement of Asencio in a pornography distribution case, the harassment of referees by Real Madrid TV, or the Ballon d'Or tantrum.
Some media linked to Real Madrid claim today that Real Madrid would never do such things.
In the 2011 Super Cup classic, Real Madrid organized a monumental brawl on the benches. The matter ended with Jose Mourinho assaulting Tito Vilanova, then Barça's assistant coach, by poking him in the eye.
That was in the heat of the moment. In the cold, and asked about his behavior hours later, Mourinho said: "Tito? Pito? I don't know who he is." Greatness, dignity, and respect in the highest degree.
Incitement to Violence Blessed by Florentino Pérez
Mourinho got away with it, as always at Real Madrid. And Madridism exalted his aggression, turning it into a symbol of the entity.
The radical group La Clásica made a giant banner, with Florentino's permission, with this text: "Mou, your finger shows us the way."It wasn't a slight, as Real Madrid's propagandists try to see it, as the Manchester City banner might be.
Pancarta de Mourinho en Punto Pelota
It was directly an incitement to hatred and violence. But since the initiative had a white color, Josep Pedrerol boasted of exclusivity on Punto Pelota presenting the banner on the same set as if it were a hymn to sportsmanship. Showing his doubts, but he did it.
Now They Ask for Respect
The banner was hung at Bernabéu for more than two months, already becoming part of its usual landscape. Until Sandro Rosell, then Barça's president, officially protested, demanding its removal. Florentino Pérez agreed to its removal.
The memory problem that some Real Madrid spokespersons have is serious. They ask for the respect that Real Madrid hasn't had with others.
