HIS CAREER

“I tried to learn everything. Deep down I felt loved. I am 73 years old and I have been linked to the world of football for 60 years. I have been everything as a player and as a manager. 30 years president of the RFEF”.

“I have the heart of a unionist. I founded the AFE and if I had been a journalist I would have been a unionist.”

“They kicked me out of the Federation, I didn’t want to leave. They kicked me out and put me in jail. I was there for 12 days, it’s not pleasant, but within the unpleasantness, you learn things.”

THE PRISON

“In the prison, they put me in the shower and they gave me Vaseline and condoms. They put you in a pre-cell and do a medical and psychological examination and then put you in a module. They put me with Ignacio González, the president of the Community of Madrid”.

“An inmate told me I’ve won all the titles but I’m missing one, the prisoner. Well, I’ve won them all.”

“I am in the final stretch of life. I am already above everything. I want peace at the end of life. It is not worth fighting.”

THE SPANISH SELECTION

“The best thing about the match the other day for the national team was the result. We have a good team, I am very happy for Luis de la Fuente, who was my teammate and I hired him in the lower categories of the federation. “

“Football has risen in level. You cannot compare Cyprus with England, but the level of sport has risen and I feel proud. When you are a manager, what you want is the development of football and now the level is gone up.”

“We have chosen the selectors well, I had eight, but we chose well.”

YOUR FAVORITE TEAMS

“My team is Athletic Bilbao, but for me the best team in the world is Real Madrid, which I like a lot”.

JOSELU

“Back then at 32 you are old. The other day Joselu scored two goals. This is what changed. Now they retire at the age of 34 or 36. Everyone has improved, now the game is better, for those of us who love football have won. for good”.

THE SUPER CUP OF SPAIN

“The Super Cup now moves only by economic parameters. They also offer us a lot of money, but my opinion was always no. The big clubs play it, like Valencia, Sevilla, Betis, Athletic who beat Barcelona. To me I liked people to see the first signings here. I gave the Super Cup last summer so the fans could see the signings at home. Now it’s a tournament in Saudi Arabia, not a competition anymore. The philosophy is different The Assembly approved it, I had one more philosophy”.

“When I arrived, the federation received 140,000 euros from the Super Cup, but it was for the clubs. I considered the fan who wanted to see their team at home.”

THE SUPER LEAGUE

“I am completely against the SuperLiga. It is a lack of consideration for international organizations. For me it is a selfish action. It will harm other competitions”.

NEGRIERA CASE

“I named Negreira as president. One of the important things is honesty and loyalty. I’m not talking about the case of Negreira. I’m not going to talk about Negreira because any demonstration is expected because it’s being persecuted and can be harmful to the people”.

PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE

“I am an anchorite, I only eat solid once a day and have fruit for breakfast and dinner. I just walk, the other day I took two lemons from the tree and I was told I was stealing. And I told him “No ma ‘am, I was stealing and I returned them to you.” “.

THE VAR

“VAR doesn’t let us celebrate goals immediately. It cancels goals that could be offside by centimeters, it’s not in favor of this sport. It cancels assists. with VAR universality is broken, in non- professional football without VAR”.

THE WORLD CUP

“A World Championship is very complicated. They are all seven highly competitive games. Morocco knocked us out on penalties, there was a big draw. When we won in 2010, apart from playing well, being the best even who lost against Switzerland and despite the referee of the finals. We are also lucky.”

HIS MANDATE

“The limit of orders is bad. Success breeds envy and it brings undesirable consequences for the successful. Beware of success in the whole world. To me we have won everything, it is success. Spain has been world champion four times, overall, sub20 and twice in futsal. Two Olympic medals, Barcelona and Sydney. Under my tenure we have qualified for all the men’s and women’s World Cups”.

YOUR JUDICIAL PROBLEMS

“Now I am zero on the left. In 30 years I have been shown 20 criminal actions. There is only one left to solve. I do not wish this on anyone, that is honor, health, work, on the fucking street as the president of the federation. Everything is archived. I’m just a fool, now that I’ve won, I’m not going to spend my money against someone who filed a false complaint against me. no asshole”.

“I read all the newspapers every day. I made constructive criticism. In the notes, they did not restore my health, four pills, or my honor, or my job, or my money. Nothing I have done . Out of 20 actions, 19 are archived. This is not normal. That is my reality”.

LUIS ENRIQUE

“I sometimes understand Luis Enrique’s reaction to the press. There are journalists who will just get confused.”

RUBIALES and THEBAS

“Rubiales didn’t do anything to me. I’m at the last stage of my life. Whoever messes with me has a problem. The position of the president of the federation and the president of La Liga is very difficult, dear and they know nothing about hate. Nothing my relationship with Thebes, but if professional football chooses him, it will be good. It does not mean that I share some issues with him, that I do not share them. At my age I do not want to feed myself. I’m not worried that now more will enter La Liga or the federation”.

QATAR 2022

“I voted for Qatar and it was a great choice. I thought it was the best venue because it is one. The United States had many venues. The candidacy for Spain for the 2018 World Cup, I started with 5 votes, I thought that Qatar’s votes can help me come closer. The Arab world is very important.”

THE VILLAGE

“I assumed Villarato with sportsmanship. What Relaño invented was an unfounded mistake. Villarato was that the referees, as they knew my opinion on defense of Barcelona, ​​​​​​​​​​​​​said that because of the defense of that club, there was no need for referees to meet And now the opposite has been shown. Do you think that the activity of arbitration can be manipulated? It is impossible. It has no foundation. I cannot express myself more satisfied because it is being prosecuted and whatever it says is that we can harm people. And I will not talk about Relañato, but I will not say it”.
