Javier Tebas spoke less than a day after Luis Rubiales announced the resignation of his position as president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), from which he was suspended, at a LaLiga event, which will bear the motto of ‘Football against oblivion’ , in relation to veteran football players.
Rubiales’ resignation: “I will not speak because I want to hear the two-hour interview he gave. We come from a president who has been suspended or resigned. I will wait for your comments. I’m not going to give an opinion on his management, you know. The reputational damage being done to Spanish football is enormous. This is the biggest digital media news story in history. “Bigger than 9/11.”
The management: “The worst thing was hiding behind the fact that he had an enemy and that it was LaLiga. The cultural view he has against professional football. “I do not share the values with which he leads the RFEF.”
Possible return of Rubiales: “I want to wait for the statements. Yesterday when he resigned I put on pajamas and went to sleep. Reputational damage should be saved. “It costs us a lot.”
Candidate that LaLiga wants: “LaLiga doesn’t have a vote, the clubs do. Given the circumstances, the territories should take the lead. I have no candidates. Those who have been with President Rubiales must decide the future of the Federation. They should see how to manage everything.”
RFEF relations: “I hope there are changes. There are many synergies between LaLiga and RFEF. Javier Tebas does not want to control the Federation. This is an argument of Rubiales to maintain the unity of his people. “You have to learn how to use synergies and not confront each other.”
Mollejo and its celebration: “It looks like Rubiales in the gesture, but not who is doing it. Touching the penis has become more popular since President Rubiales did it in the box in front of the Queen of Spain. What happened to former President Rubiales was worse.”
2030 World Cup: “Of course the feeling is that Argentina and Uruguay can benefit from what happened. We must defend the reputation of Spanish football. These things must not happen again anywhere. “Forgiveness is not enough.”
Role of CSD: “I will not give an opinion. They had a very complicated situation that could have been avoided. We have to see how they propose the reforms.”
Continuation of Andreu Camps and González Cueto: “They are two men of Rubiales’ complete trust. They have been an active part of many decisions. Those who govern the Federation must make decisions. “They became a part and with that I say everything.”
Territorial power: “It doesn’t mean that they will make a move without other artists. They need to mark that step. We (LaLiga) will not lead in any step, we believe it should be them. If they consider that they have to talk to other actors, we will be here. The Federation is also our home, what happened is we didn’t accept who we are.”
Were you surprised how it went down?: “I’m not surprised. He took everything to the limit. There were more serious matters that should have fallen upon him. I know that one day something will happen. After a day of work, orgy, paella with friends… There are things that are not normal. Things are seen and given no importance. Someday it had to happen and it did. I thought he was going away. Take everything to the highest extreme without knowing the consequences.”
Pedro Rocha: “Not long ago I asked her for clairvoyance.”
Strike in League F: “It’s a project that should grow little by little and that’s what its executives and clubs are doing. You can’t ask for more than what’s there. It can’t be achieved through strikes. “The sponsors are will not join a league with strikes and conflicts.”
