The principle of equality

A few days ago an analyst complained from the pages of a sports newspaper that the decision of Higher Sports Council about ‘Olmo is a case‘has broken the principle of equality in Spanish football. And he wrote that he had the understanding from the first moment that the player of FC Barcelona get the green light to play, at least temporarily.

The columnist was right. The same thing happened to me. But my demand for the principle of equality comes from issues related to land reclassification, building permits and government decisions. RFEF Competition Committee about dozens and dozens of arbitration decisions.

It happened to me like the journalist in question, I know that Elm will play, because I already felt the Competition Committee strengthen Vinicius for his aggression Valencia with only two games. I felt the same, when I saw the pictures of the final of Jeddahwho is a repeat offender Jesus Gil Manzano I will not give the punishment Gavihe did VARand Eduardo Camavinga I won’t see the second yellow card.

Coming back to the Brazilian player… Vinicius. Using the principle of equality, he also relies on the fact that the penalty does not reflect the unreasonable anger with which the player attacked the referee when he showed him the red card in Valencia, an action more violent than invasion where he was fired. This is how the Brazilian has reacted in previous games without being sanctioned.

There is no figure with the moral authority to demand the renewal of our football

I also knew then, because of the lack of principle of equality referred to by the journalist, that jude Bellingham will not be penalized for seriously insulting a referee in his own language and that Hansi Flick He would lose two fights raising his arms. You don’t have to be smart, in Spanish football everything is predictable. The pharaonic dream of Florentino Perez This is the main obstacle for his team to achieve the sextet, now that the septet is gone.

Everything is predictable in Spanish football, precisely because of a lack of the principle of equality that goes back a long way. To ensure that the principle of equality is imposed on Spanish football, its entire structure must be maintained and a new phase guaranteed where all doubts will disappear. This is an impossible task, and more if

We consider that for decades the personalities who star in the spectacle of football in this country have been supporters and partners of real Madrid.

But there is a deeper problem. From the embarrassing spectacle of Joan Laporta in Arabia SaudiBarcelona fans don’t seem to have the energy to demand seriousness. The behavior of Reporterhis statements this week, his total lack of skepticism and the Case of Negreira‘there, which makes us think that today is very difficult Barça You can raise your voice to say: “That’s enough.” Moral authority has no face and no name in football in this country. Change is difficult, if not impossible.

A few weeks ago, another journalist perfectly defined what is happening in Spanish football. After a robbery at Bernabeu When he observed the blind and exaggerated reaction of the players and the public who applauded the wrong decisions of the referee that allowed the score to turn in the last minute, he called the scene “obscene”. And with so much obscenity it is difficult to achieve and guarantee the principle of equality that is lost in the sports analyst.

THE NOTE. A press conference with the board of directors in the front row applauding the president’s interventions Joan Laporta It is a picture of another era and another type of club.
