According to Marca, Real Valladolid is experiencing a turbulent season, with poor performance leading to significant discontent among fans.
The central figure of this storm is none other than the club’s owner, Brazilian football legend Ronaldo. In the early hours of September 28, during the eighth round of the 2024/25 LaLiga season match between Real Valladolid and Mallorca, fans continuously booed, demanding that President Ronaldo resign and sell the team.
After 90 minutes of play, Real Valladolid lost 1-2, continuing to languish in the relegation zone. After eight rounds of matches, Real Valladolid only managed one win, two draws, and five losses, accumulating just five points and ranking 18th.
Reports indicate that Real Valladolid fans are no longer directing their anger at head coach Paulo Pezzolano but instead targeting club president Ronaldo. Despite “The Phenomenon” investing considerable funds into the team, fans believe that these investments fall short of what is needed.
Since returning to LaLiga for the 2024/25 season, Real Valladolid’s investment in the transfer market has been modest. For example, the most expensive signing this summer was the 21-year-old winger Stipe Biuk from Los Angeles FC, costing 4 million euros. Other new signings such as Victor Meseguer, Juanmi Latasa, and Raul Moro each had transfer fees not exceeding 3 million euros. In total, Real Valladolid spent only 16.5 million euros in the summer transfer window.
There are reports that Ronaldo is considering selling Real Valladolid. Fans believe that Ronaldo’s distraction with other business activities has led to insufficient attention and support for Real Valladolid, contributing to the decline in the team’s strength and performance.
The current situation at Real Valladolid is extremely tense. The strong opposition from fans towards Ronaldo is a dangerous signal. Without taking proactive measures, the team’s future looks bleak, and the risk of relegation will increase further.
