The president of LaLiga, Javier Tebashighlighted this Monday his concern about the “damage” that Spanish football is havingafter the resignation of Luis Rubiales as president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), and warned that “perhaps” there have been “more serious things“that could have caused his fall.
“We have gone from a suspended president to a resigned one, the president’s management is already known, depending on what he says I will speak or not speak, but now you have to worry about other thingslike the damage that Spanish football is having around the world,” Tebas declared to the media after the presentation of the ‘Reminiscence workshops based on football’ initiative at the employers’ headquarters.
The leader “is not” surprised by how Rubiales’ fall has been, because ““I knew that one day something would happen.”, due to the former footballer’s way of taking “everything to the limit”. “It is not normal to have an orgy after a day of work, Many issues that occurred in the RFEF were not given importance, maybe there were more or less serious things that he had to have fallen into. Someday something had to happen, and it has happened,” she said.
“Recover national football”
The leader has just returned from a trip to Latin America and beyond the resignation, which is not “the fundamental thing,” He is “very concerned” about how the issue has been treated outside of Spain. “The damage is tremendous, it is the biggest news about Spain in digital media in all of history,” he highlighted.
The president wants to “wait” for the publication of the interview that Rubiales gave to ‘Sky’ to have an “interpretation”, but while he prefers focus on how football turns out. “We all have to work to recover national football, which is going to cost us a lot,” he confessed.
The lawyer thought that Rubiales was going to get away because he “fights until the end” and knows how to “make things very complicated,” although this time he had gone “too far.” “The problem is that it takes everything to the maximum possible without looking at the consequences that their actions may generate,” he argued.
Although LaLiga does not have a vote in the RFEF elections, it values that it should be the Territorials who “lead the way” and that it does not have a “candidate” no matter how much it is written, although it does have a line to follow. “Forgiveness is not enough, we must eliminate the risk of it happening again,” he commented.
“He doesn’t want to control the RFEF”
Tebas wants the new president to improve the relationship with LaLiga, since this “does not want to control the RFEF“, if not for both to improve. “What LaLiga wants is for Spanish football to continue growing and to have synergies that allow us all to benefit,” he noted.
Facing the World Cup 2030the leader thinks that This controversy can “favor” rival countries in organizing it, but it does not hide that work is being done to avoid it. “I tried to defend the reputation of Spanish football and that is achieved by being clear and working to ensure that these things do not happen,” she said.
He did not want to comment on the actions of the Higher Sports Council, because they have had a “complicated” situation, although it “could have been avoided”, although steps must be taken. “Now we have to see how to propose this development and for the federation to have more guarantees about who is in charge of Spanish football,” he stressed.
He regrets the strike in the F League
To the interim president, Pedro Rocha, only wishes you clairvoyance and the best you can do in this transition period, in which the territorial federations must be the ones to take command. ““We are not going to lead steps, but if they consider that they have to talk and seek collaboration with us, we will listen to them, the RFEF is our home.”he offered.
Furthermore, he made it clear that he considers “a rude gesture“The one that Víctor Mollejo did this Sunday after scoring a goal against Zaragoza, but that has nothing to do with what Rubiales did, “It is very different for a representative to do it in a box, than for a player to do it, in the sporting decorum is much worse than what the former president did,” he concluded.
Another problem for Spanish football is the strike in League F, a project that must grow “gradually” and in which the footballers ask for “more than what can be given to them.” “The way you can’t grow is with strikes and if we are now talking about new sponsorships and television rights, if there are strikes they won’t come, and you can’t ask for everything in the first season,” he stressed.
