The article establishes a comparison between Florentino Pérez, president of Real Madrid, and King Midas of Phrygia, who lived approximately in the second half of the 8th century BC. According to Greek mythology, Midas was the son of the mother goddess Cybele and the god Tmolus, and possessed the power to turn everything he touched into gold.
The piece describes Midas as someone who accumulated inexhaustible wealth, but also explores what it calls "the curse of the rich." Those at the top of the pyramid face jealousy from others, loneliness in the midst of abundance, and betrayals they must avoid in order not to fall.
The article suggests that Pérez, like Midas, experiences this loneliness and these dangers derived from power and wealth, although it does not provide specific details about actions or concrete events related to the president of Real Madrid.
