Javier Tebas, LaLiga`s dynamic president, has once again made his strong opinions known. After the draw for the upcoming season`s calendar, the head of Spanish football directly tackled several contentious issues. First, he addressed the potential acquisition of Nico Williams by Barcelona. Tebas stated unequivocally, `Barcelona cannot register Nico Williams today,` a remark that dampens the hopes of Blaugrana supporters and underscores the Catalan club`s ongoing financial struggles. When questioned about rumors of `men in black` representing Athletic Club, he swiftly dismissed them, saying, `I have no idea if Athletic Club will appoint anyone to oversee such matters.`
Tebas was equally critical of Real Madrid. He condemned the sustained campaign of referee criticism aired by the Blancos` official television channel, Real Madrid TV, in the days leading up to matches. `Real Madrid should be sanctioned for the television videos broadcast on Real Madrid TV,` the LaLiga president asserted, reinforcing his firm position against any attempt to pressure or undermine the integrity of officiating.
Lastly, Tebas reiterated his strong opposition to the FIFA Club World Cup, set to be held in the United States. This competition is a major point of contention for the LaLiga head, who vowed to resist it fiercely: `I will do everything possible to ensure that the next Club World Cup does not take place.` This powerful declaration signals potential future conflicts between LaLiga and FIFA.
