Tebas: “Perhaps Rubiales had more serious things to suffer”

“We went from a suspended president to a resigned president, the president’s rule is already clear, I will speak or not depending on what he says but now you should worry about other thingsLike the damage done to Spanish football worldwide,” Tebas said in a statement to the media after the presentation of the ‘Football-based souvenir workshops’ initiative at the headquarters of the employers’ association.

The “No” leader was surprised by Rubiales’ fall because ““I knew something would happen one day.”as the former footballer takes “everything to the limit”. “It’s not normal to have an orgy after a day’s work. Many issues raised at RFEF were not given attentionMaybe he had some more or less serious things to get into. “One day something had to happen and it did,” he said.

“Save national football”

The leader has just returned from a trip to Latin America, and beyond resigning, this is not the “core issue.” “Very concerned” about how the issue is being handled outside Spain. “The damage is so great, this is the biggest news about Spain in digital media in history,” he emphasized.

The president wants to “wait” for the broadcast of Rubiales’ interview on “Sky” to “comment”, but he prefers it Focus on how the football turns out. “We must all work to save national football, which will cost us a lot,” he admitted.

The lawyer thought Rubiales would escape because he “fought to the end” and knew “how to complicate things”, but this time he had gone “too far”. “The problem is that it takes everything to the highest possible level “regardless of the consequences their actions may have,” he argued.

Even though LaLiga does not have the right to vote in the RFEF elections, he values ​​that “the Regions” should be the ones to lead the way and does not have a “candidate” no matter how many words are written. A line to follow. “Forgiveness is not enough, we must eliminate the risk of this happening again,” he commented.

“Doesn’t want to control RFEF”

Tebas wants the new president to improve relations with LaLiga, because this “Does not want to control RFEF“Although not the development of both. LaLiga’s wish is for Spanish football to continue to grow and to have synergies that allow us all to benefit,” he said.

Face to face World Cup 2030the leader thinks so This debate may be “in favor” of rival countries organizing this, but does not hide that efforts are being made to avoid this. “I have tried to protect the reputation of Spanish football and this is achieved by being open and working to ensure that such things do not happen,” he said.

He did not want to comment on the actions of the Supreme Sports Council because they were faced with a “complex” situation, although steps needed to be taken and “avoidable”. “We now have to figure out how to propose this development and ensure that the federation has more guarantees about who is responsible for Spanish football,” he stressed.

He regretted the strike in the F League

To the interim president Pedro Rocha, wishes you only foresight and the best you can in this transition period when regional federations must take command. ““We will not take any steps, but we will listen if they feel they need to talk to us and cooperate, the RFEF is our home.”he offered.

He also made it clear that he thought: “a rude gesture“What Víctor Mollejo did after scoring against Zaragoza this Sunday, but that has nothing to do with what Rubiales did,” “It is very different for a representative to do that in the penalty area and for a player to do that. “The situation in sports etiquette is much worse than what the former president did,” he concluded.

Another problem in Spanish football is the strike in the F League, a project that needs to grow “gradually” and where the players want “more than it can give them”. “You can’t grow with strikes, and if we’re talking about new sponsorships and television rights now, if there are strikes they won’t come and you can’t want everything in the first season,” he emphasized.
