New dart from Thebes against Rocha

Javier Tebas, president of LaLiga, admitted this Thursday that he believes “there are a thousand better” than Pedro Rocha, candidate for the presidency of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, but in the system that exists he does not believe “that another can win.” although he guaranteed that he will support him “until the day he does not advance the changes.”

“There are a thousand better than Rocha, but I don’t think he can win another one with the current system. I can guarantee that Tebas will support Rocha until the day the changes don’t move forward. Once you have any doubts about Rocha and his team, I will abandon ship,” the president insisted in the presentation of the fifth edition of the Congress organized by ISDE this Thursday where he referred to Rocha as a “vase” during the Rubiales era.

“He became a vase during the time of Luis Rubiales. One thing is to preside and another thing is to do. Before there was a praetorian guard and I have not seen him there. Maybe he should have done it and reported, but like many. If he does because he’s in the Management Commission and he can’t, if he doesn’t do it why doesn’t he do it. He fired the Camps, Cueto even though it was too late,” said Tebas, who indicated that the Administrative Court of Sports (TAD), which met this Thursday, cannot disqualify Rocha.

“The TAD cannot disqualify and today it is being discussed whether to open a file against Rocha and me. Rocha cannot be disqualified because he would be sanctioned for not calling elections and he has already called them. I don’t think they are going to open a file against him” he explained.

When asked if the Royal Spanish Football Federation should follow a continuous line, Tebas said that the important thing “is to find solutions”, adding that the first thing it needs to do is create “a department of compliance”, a team Responsible for overseeing the organization’s regulatory compliance.

“It is not a question of continuity or not; it is looking for solutions to a problem of a system that has been circulating for many years. The first thing that the chosen one should do is create a compliance department to avoid many not satisfactory. And the second, the implementation of real secret voting. In LaLiga I don’t know who the people will vote for and that implies freedom, not submission, and working much harder to get votes,” he stressed.

“After speaking with him, I realized that Herrera cannot be the president of the RFEF”

Tebas admitted that he learned about Carlos Herrera’s candidacy when Roberto Gómez interviewed him at the house of José Ramón de la Morena and said that after talking with him he realized that “he cannot be president of the Federation.”

“What he wants is legitimate. I have never heard him criticize the Federation in these years either. I met with Carlos Herrera and after talking with him for an hour and a half I realized that he cannot be the president of the Federation. I He said that he had solved the problem of the Super League because he had spoken to Florentino (Pérez) and the weekend was for the Super League and, during the week, LaLiga. I told him: “You have not heard anything. “The solution is not an ‘outsider’ like Carlos Herrera and or the others,” he declared

The CSD “must intervene in accordance with the law”

Regarding the Higher Sports Council (CSD), Tebas questioned its neutrality, as he stressed that “they must intervene in accordance with the law,” and warned that “institutions must be independent.”

“They talk about neutrality and I don’t know if they have been neutral. What I don’t like is that the CSD has to intervene according to the Law if applicable. Institutions have to be independent, but they have to “Everyone seems to know what is going on and those who need to resolve the complaints we made want to give lessons,” said the leader, who claimed that if the Super League is dead it will be his last mandate and, if not, he will continue in The charge .

“Rubiales is in the past, I don’t want to talk about it”

Tebas explained that what happened to former RFEF president Luis Rubiales “is not a personal issue”, but the first person who most wants him to leave is him and clarified that the focus should be on proposing “building what we want.”

“The first person Rubiales wants to leave the most is me. I’m happy for the Women’s World Cup, but I turned off the TV because I don’t want to see Rubiales parading the Cup through Spain. I’ve been criticizing him for a while. He’s in the past Rubiales “I don’t like to talk about him,” he said.

“We have to consider building what we want. It is clear that the Federation has to radically change. What has shown is that it is not a personal issue with Rubiales, it was a cultural issue,” commented the president of LaLiga, indicating that He is “sure that more things will come out” and explained that he does not believe that there is a risk that Spain will be eliminated from the 2030 World Cup that it is organizing together with Morocco and Portugal.
