Valencia, Sevilla and Villarreal issued a joint statement Tuesday in response to the “serious insult” allegedly directed at their clubs by Luis Rubiales, president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF).
This backlash comes after ‘El Confidencial’ posted a WhatsApp exchange given to Rubiales and his father. In these messages, the federative leader ensures: His three favorite teams are “Villarreal, Sevilla and Sevilla, respectively. Valencia” and using the pejorative nickname used against an Andalusian team before a Sevilla-Madrid “let’s see if we can beat these basins” he says.
“The speeches that you speak in such a humiliating, hostile and arrogant manner against three institutions are unacceptable. It comes from a person who has such a responsibility and must equally look out for the interests of all Spanish football clubs.”
Similarly, the three entities “We condemn Luis Rubiales’ contempt and disrespect towards our assets. and most importantly, towards the feel of their hobbies. Likewise, they show utmost concern about the possible consequences of their attitude towards our clubs, as their behavior does not contribute to the transparency of the competition.”
I am sorry
The three clubs allegedly belittled by Rubiales are urging the RFEF president to “correct and publicly apologize to the three institutions and their supporters”.
In the same exchange of messages, the leader’s father would describe Sevilla president José Castro as follows: “whole cocoon. With the arrogance of Sevilla, which is believed to be the best in the world. Clown”, aroused the laughter of his son.
