The legend madridista received a big ovation from the socio-representatives. Florentino Pérez rememberedAmancio and highlighted the figure of Pirri: “Amancio was an example of everything that Real Madrid is and of what our crest represents for millions of people who make up our history. He will always be in the hearts of all of us, as are Alfredo Di Stéfano, our first honorary president of Real Madrid, and his successor Paco Gento”.
“And today, following saying goodbye to Amancio Amaro, and thanking him infinitely for everything he has given us, the Management of Real Madrid proposes to this Extraordinary Assembly the name of one of the greatest legends of our club to succeed him.

“He arrived at Real Madrid at just 19 years old and was, no less, than 16 seasons. He played 561 official matches and scored 172 goals. Pirri was the first player to receive the Laureada from the hands of Santiago Bernabéu “.
“Pirri has always been an example on and off the field. His image was that of great values madridistas, a perfect symbol of this DNA that identifies us: never giving up and giving everything until the end. A reference for his teammates, with extraordinary talent and with a winning mentality faithful to what Real Madrid has been and still is throughout its 121 years of history.”
“He won 10 Leagues and 4 Spanish Cups and won the sixth European Cup, being teammates in that historic Heysel final once morest Partizan Belgrade, which we have already recalled in this Assembly.”
“For the Madridism, Pirri is an indisputable figure who is associated with all the values of Real Madrid. One of the great names who have enlarged the history of our club. Player, head of club medical services and general sporting director of Real Madrid. He was everything in this house and he passed on what we are to many generations.”
Pirri: “My thanks to you, members and supporters of Real Madrid”
“Dear Madridistas, dear friends, thank you very much. This week marks 59 years since I was gathered in a team reunion hotel room with Amancio, Gento, Zoco and Grosso. We were going to play once morest Barcelona, we were sitting in the room, the door opens and the coach Miguel Muñoz appears. He stays in front of me and says: “Young guy, you’re playing tomorrow.” He took the door and left. I looked at my teammates, who were more experienced than me, and I said to them: ‘He told me I’ll play tomorrow.’ And I played. It was my debut for Real Madrid once morest Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, it was one of the most important days of my life, like today.”
“It is a very happy day both for me and for my family who is with me. I want to thank first of all our president Florentino Pérez and the management of Real Madrid for this important appointment. And of course, my gratitude to you , members and supporters of Real Madrid for the support you have shown me throughout my sporting career, when I was playing and now. Thank you very much.”
