Real Madrid chief Butragueno defends Mijatovic transfer work

Real Madrid public relations chief Emilio Butragueno has defended the work of former sports director Pedja Mijatovic.

"This work is extremely difficult because it's very obvious to everyone what you do," said the former Real striker. "I think he was a good professional, who sincerely tried to do the best for the club."

"He didn't get too many decisions wrong. Pepe was a signing of his, also Van Nistelrooy, but clearly, there are many decisions you make, and it's up to the players to make the most of their opportunity ..."
