LaLiga chairman assures clubs are now “uncomfortably happy” after the latest changes approved to the new regulations
“The influence of the president of Real Madrid is very important in sports and in other areas in this country,” Javier Tebas acknowledged on Thursday, after the president of Real Madrid pressured PSOE and PP to withdraw from the sports law. amendment regarding the Super League previously agreed with LaLiga. “I am convinced that the government and the People’s Party are not in favor of the Super League, but it must be proven with facts at all times and this time they have not. The excuse that the Superliga case is being prosecuted (in the European Union court) is not worth it,” lamented Tebas, for whom “Florentino never loses”, although he assured that LaLiga “will also leave the Superliga KO”.
“We have other formulas and other methods of achieving what, say, Italy has done, which is that players who play in other leagues cannot play in Serie A. Now LaLiga and the federation are prevented from doing that, but we have a lot of mechanisms to fight the Super League and we will continue to do so,” insisted the top boss of the employers’ association after this Thursday’s meeting with the 42 clubs, including the three (Real Madrid, Barcelona and Athletic) who refuse the pact with the CVC. investment fund, discussed again at LaLiga headquarters. “They’re long gone. Madrid has only sent a lawyer lately and we have not seen José Ángel Sánchez Sánchez (general director of the white club),” said Tebas, for whom “the clubs make decisions with full awareness and secretly, without pressure.”
“Now the sports law goes to Congress plenary and in the Senate everything starts again, because changes can be made. We have asked Madrid and Barcelona to table amendments and they have said no. Let’s hope they don’t exert influence, as the president of Real Madrid usually does,” added the top leader of LaLiga, an organization that, after Tuesday’s agreement with the government on the new regulations, ruled out the possibility of a pause in that day. the championship after threatening to be locked out if their requests were not granted. “We are uncomfortably pleased. The compromise amendment met our demands, but some parties did not express their support. Then came the agreement (with the government) with a transaction amendment submitted by the PSOE and which the PP did not support,” complained Tebas, especially grateful to the Minister of Culture and Sports, Miquel Iceta, “for understanding the problem.” “We also asked for opposition meetings and they did not come to us,” laLiga’s president lamented.
The 39 First and Second Division clubs that have signed the agreement with CVC do not fear that after the latest changes to the sports law and the challenge of the agreement in court – by Madrid, Barça, Athletic and the federation – the contract will be revoked. jeopardized by the British investment fund. “There are two favorable reports from the state attorney. We wanted to provide legal certainty and if the Sports Law project was approved as it was, it created a lot of uncertainty. If it is approved, we would not have been able to have commercial relations. We wanted to defend the current status quo. There is no longer any legal uncertainty. With the amendments to the law, the clubs will collect all the money from CVC (more than 2,000 million euros)”, congratulated Tebas.
