Javier Tebas and Pedro Rocha build bridges between LaLiga and the future RFEFor at least that is the reading that is extracted from the private meal they held this Wednesday in a restaurant in the capital. The president of the football association agreed to sit with the man to whom Luis Rubiales bequeathed the presidential chair of the Spanish Football Federation and the main favorite to win the elections to be held on May 24. An alliance that interests both parties facing the resulting scenario in Spanish football starting May 25.
Gomar breaks the unanimity of the territorial
Rocha counted in all the pools as the undisputed favorite to win the federative presidency until Salvador Gomar confirmed that he will also run in the elections. This initiative by the president of the Valencian party breaks the support of the territorial parties for Rocha, whose unanimous support virtually made him the new president. However, Gomar’s appearance confirms that Rocha does not have the full support of the territorial ones, which divides the vote of these and opens the range of possibilities to other candidates outside the scope of the regional federations.
This fact explains Rocha’s approach to Thebeswho has influence over a good part of the voters of the Federation Assembly, although not enough to promote a candidacy from LaLiga. Both are interested in having the other’s support in the short, medium and long term. To the Extremaduran, to secure votes in the May 24 elections; and to the Huesca, to have a good harmony with the president of the RFEF for the next four years, thus putting aside the war that he has experienced with the federative entity and its former president, Luis Rubialesin the last times.
Tebas can be a decisive support for Rocha and Rocha a necessary partner for Tebas in future businesses. This alliance would alleviate, in a certain way, the damage done to Rubiales’s dolphin by the votes that he will lose at the hands of Donkeywho He boasts of having the support of a good number of territorial people who do not want to support Rocha because they understand that it would be supporting Rubiales’ ‘continuism’.
Alemany: only has real options
In the midst of this fight between the president of Extremadura and that of Valencia, other names appear that would take advantage of this internal division in the territorial ones. The first is that of Mateu Alemany, whose door is knocking with more and more people interested in presenting his candidacy for the elections. But Alemany will only do so if he has a real chance of being the future president of the RFEF. You have no intention of joining the race and gaining visibility if you have no options. Among the supports that the former president of Mallorca would have are the names of Real Madrid, Barcelona or even Atlético. Florentino Pérez, who has not yet made a public statement on the matter, has already tried to incorporate him into Madrid’s executive structure without success. And now he would welcome Mateu directing the destinies of a Federation with which the ‘White House’ has had moments of tension. Also Barça, where Alemany has been working until recently, or Atlético, who are rumored to have tried to add him to their executive staff, would see the Spaniard as the ideal candidate to redirect the Federation.
Candidate Parera: a profile that institutions like
Another new face in the electoral race is Eva Parera, the daughter of the former Barcelona director, who has a degree in Law from the Abat Oliva University. Parera became a pioneer woman in Sports Law, opening a law firm specialized in this area. As a lawyer she has been linked to Espanyol, Real Sociedad and was a member of the negotiating committee of the UCI ProTour teams with the Tour de France, Vuelta Ciclista a España and the Giro d’Italia. She has been a player representative and worked with UEFA. In recent times she has further developed her political profile, being councilor for Economy and Finance in Corbera de Llobregat, senator for Convergencia i Unió, and councilor and president of Valents in Barcelona City Council. Added to all this is that it is a profile that institutions like, both for her preparation and for being a woman, which makes her the first pre-candidate. She boasts of “knowing how to negotiate, which is something I have been doing for a long time and have acquired through years of practice. I think I generate empathy when I sit at a negotiating table.” Finally, her profile and her transversal experience in Spanish football mean that she has no problem gathering the 21 endorsements necessary to officially present her candidacy.
For its part, the surprising candidacy of Carlos Herrera He continues knocking on different doors to gather the necessary endorsements to formally present himself. However, In the corridors of Las Rozas he misses the journalist’s movement and bets that he will not be able to gather the necessary guarantees.
With 99 days to go before the elections, Pedro Rocha seems to be taking advantage of the movement towards Tebas, who also benefits by gaining the complicity of the favorite to preside over the Federation starting May 24. But there are also many eyes waiting for a move from Alemany, who as of today has not yet made a decision about his possible candidacy. Padrinos has the most powerful clubs, but that’s not enough for him.
