I'm not gonna get trashed by any means, but I'm down to have a drink with a fellow BS Madrid supporter!
So you first go to the website: http://www.internationalchampionscup.com/ Click get tickets button, and then it will have you sign up with your email to "pre-register", hopefully it will actually send out an alert for early ticket access as the day gets closer. Still 4 months away so the tickets are not on sale.

In a major financial move, Real Madrid have reached an agreement with Telefonica for the upcoming two years. The announcement is set to take place on Thursday and will be headlined by Jose Maria Alvarez-Pallete, president of the Spanish telephone company, and Florentino Perez, president of the reigning Champions League winners. Telefonica will offer WiFi at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu and will launch a Madrid-themed application, as well as sponsoring both the football and basketball squads. However, this does not mean Los Blancos have terminated their relationship with Fly Emirates. Far from it actually, as the Dubai-based airline is going to pay almost 50 million per season to remain the primary jersey sponsor. http://www.marca.com/en/football/real-madrid/2017/03/29/58db942a46163fdd728b4569.html
El Pais says Teelfonica deal is 15 ME for two years. Not bad for associate sponsorship. http://economia.elpais.com/economia/2017/03/29/actualidad/1490776046_811418.html
Manchester United fear David de Gea will leave this summer as they look to Serie A for goalkeeping replacements Inter’s Samir Handanovic is currently the leading candidate to replace the Spaniard with Milan’s highly-rated 18-year-old Gianluigi Donnarumma also an option. De Gea’s situation is different, given that it is known he and girlfriend Edurne Garcia have long wanted to return to his home city, with United having sanctioned a sale in 2015 only for it to infamously fall down due to administrative issues at the last minute. United midfielder Ander Herrera cast further doubt on De Gea’s Old Trafford future last week, when asked the situation while on international duty with Spain. “It’s difficult for him [De Gea] to one day be at one place, and then to be at another the next,” Herrera said. “He learned a lot from this. It has made him more mature. I want him to be the one defending Manchester United’s goal. “Hopefully it will be like that, but anything can happen in football.” http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...igi-donnarumma-samir-handanovic-a7655821.html

He wasn't even fit for a photoshoot so they had to pick something from the archive. Also that Benzema's "I'm gonna stay behind and linkup play".
El Diario reporting that Florentino has apparently paid 300k to a "fake news" site to clean our clubs AND pressure the coach. He was called as a witness where he said that he had indeed paid for the services of the guy running the site, Alejandro de Pedro, (and apparently many other similar sites). From what i understand he said he only gave him exclusives and not anything else but i believe there's evidence that says he used the site to "pressure" Carlo to play Bale. The website was called diario-bernabeu.com. Honestly, i've never heard of it let alone read it. Has anyone checked it out before? This was all as a part of a bigger operation called "Operacion Punica" in Spain. It's a shame if true, i don't necessarily love Perez, he had his ups and downs, but it would be a shame if he left the club like this. Sources: http://www.eldiario.es/politica/con...o-Perez-Real-Madrid_0_627138361.html#mensajes http://futbol.as.com/futbol/2017/03...0.html?id_externo_rsoc=CM_ES_TW_Th_20_51_none
The interesting part is that apparently "Florentino tells people who to play", but the report and the emails show that the guy suggested to Florentino that he would ask Ancelotti about Bale at the press conference, and Florentino said "good". I doubt this will bring Florentino down, but it does open the door into how the club, and many other clubs are managed. the idea that Florentino pressures people directly into doing something is bullshit, but this is how you buy exclusives in press work. When Morata's "i want to play, or leave" comments came out earlier this year, you could tell the news was planted by Morata himself, his father is a personal friend of the guy that reported it. Pretty much the same thing Florentino does/did.
Ancelotti rubbished it. So much for that ElDiario story yesterday accusing Florentino of pressuring Ancelotti on his starting XIs while at Real Madrid.Next pls. pic.twitter.com/SLNFRptuZD— M•A•J (@UltraSuristic_) March 31, 2017
There are emails that suggest that Florentino was fine with Ancelotti getting grilled at press conferences when it came to questions about Bale though. Also emails that corrected the site when it came to reports about Isco. The website seems inactive for about a year now.
General consensus was that Flo and Carlo had no communication towards the end of the second season. Guess it started with the slump and the controversies after 4-0 loss to Atletico about Ron's birthday party and stuff. Flo thought he was too easy on players and training was easy. Hence went for tough master Benitez which was a blunder move as he's a poor man manger. Perez was in good terms with Carlo since 2006 so it's surprising how the relationship got deteriorated. Even the decision to let him go was conveyed through Bronzetti.
Bale wasn't happy about being isolated on the right and even his agent made public comments then. Carlo retorted publicly too. So it wasn't a surprise. Flo is known to chose players side. Lopez Caro was pissed about R9 going to president's office to complain about the coach. Flo later admitted the downfall started with him being too close to players. Now there's a distance but he doesn't want his big signings unhappy still.
I used to visit Diario-Bernabeu btw. It was a RM exclusive site just like defensacentral, bernabeu digital etc. Wonder if elbernabeu.com is ran by the same team. These are basically like fan websites. And I don't think this would have any effect on Perez' presidency. Only AS seem to be giving it any attention and they have anti-Perez articles or interviews so often that no one takes it seriously anymore. Carlo is long gone and fans would care only if there are issues with Perez and ZZ and we end up trophyless.
Relano is activelly mad about Raul returning, even said something along the lines that him working with Perez would tarnish his legacy. I admire how much sh*t Raul had to take from journalists and he never responded.
