Matallanas: "Tebas intends to get drunk on the media to intimidate the authorities"

Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) spokesman Javier Gómez Matallanas assured that the allegations of corruption by the LaLiga president, Xavier Thebes, towards RFEF members to serve “camouflage their mismanagement” and in “media intoxication“and you try “scare the authorities”, and declared that “Not measurable” and therefore creates “controversies and wars”.

“We answer him where we need to answer him: using the instruments of the rule of law, defending ourselves in court and denouncing obvious irregularities and not adulterated stories like he does. We don’t want to be at your level of tension, but we go out when necessary. We are a transparent entity that tells the truth, unlike him, who scrambles to see if anyone stays, “he said in a statement. interview with Europe Press.

However, he believes that this “tension” produces “a very logical social stress.” “It makes us all put in the same bag and the image of football as a whole is damaged. The RFEF is there to watch football, not to give the field to a man with protagonist syndrome who becomes delusional. And that was clear to Luis Rubiales Tebas will not drag the RFEF or its president into the mud he wants. As much as he wants, he will not take us away from our usual tone, firm but respectful, without falling into provocations or verbal violence. As much as I repeat these things, they are still wrong. With us you can only see public apathy, and timely responses where they should be given, ”he said.

So they will answer “in truth”. “And that’s where we should and count. Because we should remember that Tebas uses money from the National Professional Football League (we don’t know if the clubs support it) to become a preferred partner of many media outlets, for the cost it incurs in advertising and its agreements with these media, which it uses for its own interest. Here there is an important management problem because it invests tens of millions every year in the media which eventually helps it with smear campaigns. This behavior is not exactly ideal. “

“So he gets the media relevance that he gets. But, even though he has a lot of projections, his message is still wrong. It can penetrate those who do not know the background, or build a social background sea in the yellowest journalism. But, in the world of football, we all know who is one and who is one. The football world knows what Luis Rubiales has done for the most modest, and also for advancing beyond our boundaries of competitions that are half dead or have not generated interest or revenue ”, he continued.

In this sense, the federal spokesman considers that If Spain has a chance to host the 2030 World Cup, it will be “thanks” to Rubiales ’“ management ”. “If the most modest clubs have succeeded in the most difficult moments that have lived in our country, because of financial assistance from the RFEF, it is also because of Luis Rubiales’ sensitivity. The numbers are singing. And when Luis gets it something between him.brow and eyebrow, he succeeded.Now he is preparing a very important visit to Lisbon to continue to progress with Fernando Gomes and the Portuguese federation in the candidacy for the 2030 World Cup. This project could generate about 30,000 million euros for our countries. That was fighting for football and for Spain. What Tebas is doing is impregnating everyone with tension and making football bad ”he hinted.

Regarding Tebas ’allegations of corruption against RFEF members, Matallanas warned that“ they will have consequences ”. “He speaks a lie, a big lie, like most of what he says. He cites a concept as serious as ‘corruption’ and does not provide, because he cannot, a single piece of information. He is seeking disqualification without any legal basis, as some in his service have done the previous task of filing empty complaints with the CSD. No endorsement or content. The constant pressure and the media mess it creates. He intends to intoxicate the media to try to have a manipulated public trial against the RFEF, and thus intimidate the authorities. Facing this, the RFEF will act in the appropriate areas so that this framework can be reached to the end and given justice “, advancement.

In another vein, He regrets the media exposure of private material from Rubiales ’mobile. “Can anyone imagine what his life would be like if an unscrupulous person had access to everything on his mobile phone? An acquaintance told me that when this happened to him, he would lose his job, friends and maybe lose even his family.his wife.Who can withstand such an exhibition of his privacy? Luis Rubiales, in such a situation, they did not put him in any real trouble nor did they show even one illegal. They just managed to manipulate, nothing else, ” where he is.

“Here The only illegal is to steal information made from Luis Rubiales ’phone and then publish it. But also, as I say, there was manipulation, lies and even videos and audio recorded by others, such as his own uncle, who was his right hand man, who betrayed him and he took the opportunity to endorse to Luis things he did or didn’t even have on Luis ’mobile, or send travel tickets to a media outlet that crossed out his name and that of another colleague on RFEF for creating the fake look that Luis went to New York with a woman, instead of joining people from his cabinet, which is the truth. And all, according to Thebes, after receiving “his advice.” Dirty and disgusting, but at the same time very rough. These two examples are only a small part. Everyone will know “, he assured.

Finally, Matallanas showed his “confidence” that “the truth will come out.” “The RFEF will not waste time on sterile and violent struggles. But I want to clarify that. there is no war in football: there is only one character who does not measure and who, to justify himself, always creates controversies and wars. Everyone knows him in football. The 42 clubs of the National Professional Football League also want their employee Javier Tebas to end the spiral of incendiary statements and tweets, this is something that is necessary for the good of Spanish football because the president of an association belonging to the RFEF is cannot be permanently attacking. and setting up plots against the RFEF itself. We are constantly moving forward looking for the good of football, on positive things, like that 2030 World Cup. Time and Justice will put everything in its place, “ finished.
