Luis Rubiales at the Europa Press Sports Breakfasts /
The president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation believes that LaLiga, the competition chaired by Javier Tebas, must change so as not to continue losing quality
In an act with the format of a talk, Luis Rubiales has reviewed the current situation of Spanish football during the Europa Press Sports Breakfasts in which he wanted to touch on different topics such as the 2030 World Cup for the candidacy of Spain and Portugal, the new tactical movement of the Super League, the role of the Spanish National Team in the World Cup in Qatar, the quality of LaLiga or the conflict of the First RFEF. The top leader of the federation has been accompanied by great personalities such as the new national coach, Luis de la Fuente, the president of the Spanish Olympic Committee, Alejandro Blanco.
“We have surpassed England in non-professional football. And LaLiga is sold for less money. You have to change the format. Too many games are televised and that explains the Kings League phenomenon. Something has to be done. There will come a time when the Spanish clubs will not be able to compete with the English, “criticizes Rubiales, but not before throwing a new dart at Javier Tebas, a leader with whom he has maintained the bad relations that his predecessor already had in office. , Ángel Villar, mentioning the sporting event created by Gerard Piqué and Ibai Llanos that is causing a sensation on the internet: «You have to look for that surprise that is so beautiful in the Copa del Rey; if not, many will stay watching the Kings League ». Although the messages to the boss of the highest national competition did not stop there. Rubiales wanted to mention the new pulse of the Super League and blamed Tebas for encouraging the clubs to want to participate in it. «I think like UEFA and its president. The Champions League is the best club competition. It can be improved, but from within football. UEFA is football in all its sectors. I respect other ways of thinking. You may match other people, but not in the ways. It would be very important to recover Madrid and Barcelona. The best ambassador of the Super League is not Florentino or Laporta, it is Javier Tebas. They are making the poorest poor and the richest rich. They are decapitalizing the clubs. They are impoverishing La Liga. CVC (the investment fund with which the League has formalized an agreement) was a disastrous operation for football and favorable to a powerful group. It is disastrous, calamitous and, for us, illegal.”
For the top leader of the federation, taking the Spanish Super Cup to Saudi Arabia, a controversial decision as it is a country that violates human rights, has been a success. «The first thing is the change of format since the final four has been very well accepted. We were interested in exporting our football and generating more income, and that has been achieved by taking the tournament there. There is the CVC model and ours, which is to help clubs by generating money with football, “he points out.
