The president of Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF)the man from Cáceres Pedro Rochaassured that the proposal to disqualify him from the Administrative Court of Sports (TAD) “does not respond to common sense, nor to the law, but rather to a political intention to interfere with a federation that has been silenced.”
“We are in the Euro and we have a world and we will talk about some Olympic Games. Are there really reasons to return to chaos and destroy it all? It is unusual and I hope that common sense will prevail,” he said about the file in an interview published this Monday by El Periódico Extremadura.
In his opinion, “the world is upside down,” because they accuse him of going beyond his duties by making decisions that the Higher Sports Council requested, such as the termination of the previous secretary general’s contract, Andrew Campsor that the federation appeared in the case investigated by the court of Majadahondawhen “a cry and obligation for this house to prosecute any alleged corruption.”
Rocha assured that he did not expect the proposal to disqualify the TAD and that he would return “a thousand times” to accept the decisions he made to “stop inappropriate behavior and, of course, to end a phase of Spanish football that is not exactly ideal.
“The fight against corruption cannot be punished,” he stressed. Rochawho has insisted on his innocence: “I put both hands in the fire. I am an honest and honorable person.”
Rocha He said it never “crossed his mind” to leave office and that time would prove him right.
Regarding the ‘Super Cup’ case, in which he is being investigated, he specified that he joined the federation as economic vice president when the contract began and the economic commission was a body where everything was approved in a “collegiate.” “way.
Furthermore, he commented that he “did the exact opposite” of what his predecessor had done, Luis Rubiales, like signing peace with the Professional Football League.
“I like peace, unity, following a path, that football people only talk about football. I don’t face anyone. I prefer dialogue to division,” he said.
Rocha He did not reveal whether he would run in the next RFEF election. “Now it’s time to work. When that time comes we will see.”
And he indicated that he was not working Vicente del Bosque because the former coach was on a commission that created the Higher Sports Council and was not a member of the federation.
