Javier Tebas, president of La Lliga, spoke at the presentation of the trading card album Panini of La Liga Santander 2022-23 and once again his words have once again generated controversy. The top leader of the football management has had no problem declaring himself “Madrid” fan and has openly confessed that “I prefer Benzema to Lewandowski”.
Asked which player he would have liked to have this season, Tebes didn’t bite his tongue: “As for whether I prefer Benzema or Lewandowski, I have to say that I’m from Madrid and I prefer Benzema.” Statements that have spread like wildfire on social networks.
Tebas went further and pointed out that Real Madrid’s new player, French midfielder Aurelién Tchouaméni, will surprise “with his level and will be even more decisive than Lewandowski” after Casemiro’s departure to Manchester United.
The ‘capo’ of La Liga will offer one this Friday Press conference where he will analyze the signing market and will inevitably have to talk about the Spanish championship weight loss in front of the Premier League or the Bundesliga. For the leader, “there is not just the Premier League. With the Bundesliga we are almost equal in spending and they are not as worried as ours”.
Finally, he pointed out that “La Lliga is undervalued because it is something very typical of the Spanish. It is difficult to compare with countries that have twice the population and 21 million football subscribers, and we only have 9. You should see the results and not to money wasters.”
