[Saba Sports News] Recently, former mayor of Spain’s Valladolid, Oscar Puente, commented on the team under Brazilian star Ronaldo during a media interview. Valladolid’s fluctuating performance has disappointed many outside observers, and this season they were relegated again, set to play in the Segunda Division next season. Puente told the media frankly that he hoped Ronaldo would quickly sell Valladolid. He stated that since Ronaldo came to Valladolid, the club has been experiencing the ups and downs of promotion and relegation, and all fans hope for a fresh start. They believe that selling the club is Ronaldo’s best option. Moreover, numerous fans strongly disapprove of Ronaldo’s management style; even during the previous match against Barcelona, some fans threw counterfeit banknotes printed with Ronaldo’s face onto the field to demand he sell the club. These intense protest actions indicate sharp conflicts between fans and management, as fans yearn for change through a new owner. The former mayor’s suggestion reflects, to some extent, the voice of the fans.
