“It seems that he knows how to buy referees”: the harsh sentence of the president of the Spanish League against Piqué

The president of La Liga of Spain, Javier Tebas, referred to the scandal involving Barcelona related to the hiring of referees. “An investigation process has begun and national and world football needs an explanation”, he slipped.

“Reputational damage to Barça already La Liga it’s tremendous. It is very sad and unpleasant. He Barça It is one of the most important teams in this competition. Hiding is not the solution. Here the theme will continue with a media parade. You don’t have to hide, or go as victims. You have to give explanations to the members and fans”, highlighted the manager in the forum of The vanguard.

In this sense, the official also fired at Gerard Piquéone of the promoters of the European Super League which sparked a debate in the Old continent. “He seems very smart about money issues. It is one thing to pay an arbitrator and another to pay to influence. That’s why I say that he Barça has not bought referees”, he stressed.

However, in his speech, the manager continued with a clear message addressed to the former defender of the Blaugrana: “Piqué seems to know how referees are bought. You have to be careful. I don’t think Barcelona buy referees. It seems that we are talking about trying to influence. Let’s think that in every group there is always some exceptionotherwise we would all be in heaven. It is not about that he has won titles for buying referees”.

In addition, he revealed a dialogue he had with the president of the cule, in which he exposes his differences. “Joan Laporta cannot say that there is someone in charge of economic control to whom I have told that they have to do something because I don’t like Barcelona. I don’t have a mania for the club and he knows it the rules are not from Thebes, but from all the departments of La LigaIt is a matter of complying with them”, he clarified.

Thebes also spoke of Negreira case and pointed out that what he said at a press conference related to the fact that Laporta should resign was within a context and that, in any case, “the reputational damage that is being done to Spanish and international football is already irreparable”.

The president of La Liga has not received any response from the Catalan entity, although it gives room for the club to carry out the corresponding investigation, and he said he was not disappointed by what the Barca president has said about him: “If I had to feel like this about everything that Laporta or another president says, I would be disappointed all day”.

Javier Tebas wanted to clarify that it is not about “redirectable relationships or not”, but that the rules are complied with and clarified “the reasons for the payments and those responsible” of the Negreira casesomething that without a doubtIt cannot be redirected at dinner or a snack because it is something serious”.

On the other hand, he also stressed that one of his greatest wishes is to see Lionel Messi with the shirt of Blaugrana. “He Barça try to put yourself in a mass of 499 or 450 million but it is not easy. We don’t want the Barça have a big financial problem And if that costs us to be angry with them, then we will be “, he concluded.
