Javier Tebas is back in the spotlight for his statements, and this time he had something to say about everyone. The president of LaLiga has spoken about the situation at Barcelona, both regarding the possibility of taking one of the Azulgranas’ matches to the United States and the issue of registrations, which has caused so many problems for the club. He also had words for Real Madrid, who have been complaining to the head of the employers’ association about the insufficient rest they have had since their elimination from the Club World Cup and the start of the championship.
The president of the employers’ association was once again very clear about the situation at Concha Espina. “Real Madrid, with the squad it has and the money it has earned from the Club World Cup, has enough days to recover before the start of LaLiga,” he said, as if the accumulated fatigue had anything to do with the money coming into the club’s coffers. “We have already given our opinion, which is that there are enough days to recover, for the rest period established in the collective agreement,” added the head of the Spanish league.
“The problem is not created by LaLiga, it is created by a competition such as the Club World Cup, which sets the dates unilaterally, which Fifpro itself has complained about,” continued Javier Tebas, who remains firm in his decision not to postpone Real Madrid’s opening match of the championship, which will be against Osasuna on Tuesday, August 19, at the Santiago Bernabéu. On the other hand, the president of the employers’ association also analyzed Barcelona’s current situation from London.
Barcelona, to the United States?
The president of the National Center for Coach Training, Miguel Galán, caused a stir on social media when he revealed that Javier Tebas wanted to take the Villarreal – Barcelona LaLiga match to the United States. According to the director of CENAFE, this match would be played in December in Miami. It is well known that the Huesca-born lawyer has been trying for several years to take a Spanish league match across the pond and, on occasions, the clubs have agreed because of the money they would receive, but in the end, their wishes have always been thwarted.
Now, from this event in London, Javier Tebas has responded to Miguel Galán. “I’m not going to respond because he says so many things that…,” began the president of LaLiga. “We are working, and I have been saying for some time that our intention is to take a match outside Spain, and I have said that Miami is where it could go,” he continued. “It’s always possible, but I don’t know if it will be Barcelona vs. Villarreal or another match,” he added.
Barcelona’s registrations
On the other hand, Javier Tebas, who was one of those who scared Nico Williams and his entourage when he was about to sign for Barcelona, has now spoken about the Blaugrana’s registrations, as they have not yet managed to register Joan García. “That depends on Barça. I haven’t been following it for a few days and it’s a matter for LaLiga’s financial control team, and they will know,” began the president of the employers’ association.
“We have a website where registrations are published. If they are not being registered, it means that at the moment they may have the players or they have not provided all the information,” he continued, explaining the return to the 1:1 rule. “I’m not very worried about Barcelona this season, to be honest,” he added, implying that Joan Laporta and the club will manage to achieve the financial stability they have lacked in recent years.
