While Spanish football is struggling to emerge from two big media affairs (Rubiales Affair and Negreira Affair), the president of LaLiga, Javier Tebas continues to hog the spotlight. If in France, the Spanish leader is best known for his multiple barbs sent to Paris Saint-Germain and Qatar since the record transfer of Neymar Jr in 2017 for 222 million euros. In Spain, the former Spanish lawyer, who has led the football league since 2013, continues to wage an intense standoff with one of the most influential men of the last two decades in Iberian sport, namely the legendary president of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez. Since the aborted European Super League project, Tebas has been tackling and retackling Perez through the media.
“I haven’t had any contact with the president of Madrid for two and a half years. It’s difficult to contact him when you spend all your time and all your day, directly or indirectly, criticizing, distorting things and organizing competitions like the Super League,” the Spanish leader initially indicated. early in the month. And one thing is certain: Javier Tebas still does not agree with the idea of renewing any relationship with the president of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez. In an exclusive interview granted to our colleagues from the Spanish newspaper Marcahe added a layer on the boss of Casa Blanca.
No reconciliation planned!
“No because it’s a cultural question, big differences between us. It’s like I’m saying ‘hey, is there any chance you’ll give me your house? Is not it ?’ Well, we are on this same thing. There is a terrible difference between the two of us in what we think about European professional football. There is no way that I would agree with him, for my part and that of the majority of La Liga clubs. Nobody wants it to be the big clubs who have to determine the destiny, the future, the distribution of money of the European football industry.explained once again the president of the Spanish institution based in Madrid.
Just ten days ago, Javier Tebas had already not minced his words about the Madrid president in an exclusive interview for the Flash Score site: “He is good for his club, but bad for football. Because he thinks that a large part of football revolves around Real Madrid, but that is not true. Football revolves around competitions and also other clubs. This makes him lose sight of the importance of the other teams that compete with him, whether big or small, and the importance of the competitions he finds himself in: La Liga and the Champions League., regretted the native of San José in Costa Rica. As a reminder, the mandate of Javier Tebas, in office since 2013, will end next year and his recent declarations show his determination to increasingly transform Spanish football, between modernism and classicism.
