Ronaldo Nazário’s management as majority partner and president of Real Valladolid is harshly questioned by Pucela supporters. After having suffered its second relegation in five years of the Brazilian’s management, the team started the season in the second division on the wrong foot.
The Albivioletas drew 1-1 with Elche on matchday five and have gone four games without victory. Those led by Paulo Pezzolano (also resisted by the fans) began the semester with a victory against Rayo Vallecano, but then suffered three consecutive defeats.

Valladolid fans once again ask for Ronaldo’s departure
Valladolid supporters expressed their discontent with Ronaldo before the game in the vicinity of the José Zorrilla Municipal Stadium. A banner read: “Five years of lies, on the brink of the abyss.” Another poster directly demanded the departure of the Brazilian: “Go now!”.
In addition, there were songs against the coach, who received even more criticism after the draw at home. In fact, Pezzolano, surprised by a group of fans who were waiting for him at the exit of the stadium, listened to their concerns and gave explanations.

“The screams from the stands are part of football. The players left a spectacular image, Elche had no scoring chances. We must grow in the face of adversity, and we will achieve it. I liked the team, they had character. It is normal that it is required of us. We have to improve our performance and come out with the same character, rebellion and desire,” said the technical director.

The complicated moment of the institution puts “O Fenomeno” in a difficult position, since the discontent of the fans is clear and only a radical change in the results could change the panorama.
