Villalonga has insisted that he shall stand for the presidential office at the Bernabeu at the end of the year and seems to have already kickstarted his presidential campaign.

Speaking to the COPE radio, Villalonga, who was the Valencia president in the summer for a few days, said that he would do everything he can to sign the likes of Lionel Messi, Cristinao Ronaldo and Kaka and revive the Galacticos era at the Bernabeu.

Villalonga said:

"Players such as Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo or Kaká should be at Real Madrid. I will copy the model that Florentino used.

"I have called Florentino and I expressed my desire to stand and use his ideas, but it will be on my own terms.

"I have a lot of respect and admiration for Florentino and I think we should continue the good work that he did."

While Pérez coined the phrase Zidanes and Pavónes to describe his idea of combining star names with homegrown players, Villalonga has tweaked that idea.

"If I do win then I would like to introduce a system of Zidanes and Butragueños. We have to call upon the talent from the youth teams and combine them with world class players," he added.
