Perez: Mourinho recruits Most Important to me

Madrid - Dari sekian banyak pemain top yang pernah direkrutnya, Florentino Perez ternyata menyebut nama yang bukan dari kalangan pemain sebagai rekrutan terpentingnya. Dia adalah Jose Mourinho. 

Perez memang begitu. Sejumlah upaya dilakukannya supaya Los Merengues bergelimang prestasi. Nama-nama tenar seperti Cristiano Ronaldo, Ricardo Kaka, Mesut Oezil, serta Karim Benzema didatangkan.

Namun, kedatangan mereka belum cukup. Untuk kembali berjaya di La Liga, sebuah langkah penting diambil oleh Perez dengan merombak sektor kepelatihan. Langkah itu ditempuh dengan merekrut Jose Mourinho dari Inter Milan pada awal musim 2010.

Perez tak hanya melihat prestasi pelatih berjuluk The Special One itu di dua klub sebelumnya, Chelsea dan Inter. Ia juga menyukai pribadi Mourinho yang suka menghadapi tantangan.

"Keputusan paling penting yang saya buat selama menjadi presiden adalah saat merekrut Mourinho karena dia tidak pernah mengernyitkan dahi saat menghadapi tantangan," jelas Perez pada Sky Sports.

Kepercayaan presiden klub Madrid ini dibayar kontan oleh Mourinho dengan mempersembahkan gelar di musim perdananya saat menangani Cristiano Ronaldo dkk. Madrid mampu menghapus dahaga gelar juara dengan meraih gelar juara Copa del Rey.

Senang dengan raihan itu, Perez juga mengungkapkan kegembiraannya atas pencapaian Madrid di ajang lain dan prestasi pemain-pemainnya di level individu.

"Tahun lalu kami berada di posisi kedua di liga, semifinalis Liga Champions, Ronaldo memenangi Bola Emas dan meraih gelar Pichichi, (Iker) Casilas memenangi Sarung Tangan Emas, Mourinho terpilih sebagai pelatih tahun ini oleh UEFA, dan kami memenangi Copa del Rey dengan gol hebat dari Ronaldo," tutup presiden klub asal ibu kota Spanyol itu. 

Shearer backs Van Persie Skip His goal record

London - Bomber Arsenal, Robin Van Persie continues to show the appearance of good. England football legend, Alan Shearer believes that Van Persie will be able to pass a record tally.

The record in question is the number one scorer throughout the year. Currently, the record still belongs to Shearer with 36 goals he made in 1995 while still defending Blackburn Rovers.

Meanwhile, Van Persie scored a goal against Everton at the weekend was the 19th goal in all competitions, or who to-33 so far this year. That number brought him to the third list, under another Arsenal legend Thierry Henry with 34 goals and only three goals adrift just from record Shearer.

Van Persie the chance to break the record it was wide open. In addition to the consistency of his performance, Van Persie still have four games before closing in 2011.

"He (Van Persie) will beat my total of 36 goals in the Premier League in one calendar year - a record, I did not realize this before mentioned to me in the Match of the Day this weekend," Shearer wrote in his column in The Sun.

"I set records that in 1995, when defending Blackbrun. But that record will be broken and I do not think there is a better striker than the Dutch man to write his name in history books," continued the former England captain is.

"He has answered many questions in the last 12 months with 33 goals in 32 Premier League appearances - and not just team's main striker but also the captain of Arsenal. Now he has the last four games this year to get that record - a visit to Manchester City and Aston Villa and home games against Wolves and QPR. "

Arsenal have not gotten a commitment from Van Persie immediately following the period of his contract runs out. Shearer warned the Gunners goal machine in order not to lose it.

"It does not respect his team colleagues and I in that football is a team game but he has won many matches and securing so many numbers, it's hard to believe the season the Gunners can turn around very dramatically without him," added Shearer.

But most important is the success of Cess for him to finally win the title. Just a few months of grazing in the Camp Nou he was assigned to the Spanish Super Cup trophy and the UEFA Super Cup.
