The president of LaLiga spoke of the ‘Negreira case’ and demanded “explanations” from the president of FC Barcelona
Thebes revealed that Atlético requested a joint statement from the clubs, but it was not done because “it was not on the agenda”
The president of LaLiga, Javier Tebas, once again assessed the ‘Negreira case’ and pointed directly to the president of Barça, Joan Laporta. When asked if he should resign, Tebas was in favor of this option if the appropriate clarifications do not arrive.
Thebes was questioned about a hypothetical resignation of Laportay replied that “If it doesn’t explain well why it was paid, I think it should.. The first note from FC Barcelona seemed that everyone did it, and it is not like that. I would have to explain, it seems that it even doubled. Many seasons and with different directives, I don’t like it at all”.
The leader of the soccer association expanded on the issue and commented that “for now I would say that Juventus is more serious because it is sentenced, but the indications I see them more serious at Barça. Here appears a vice president of the Technical Committee of Referees”.
LaLiga has held this Monday in a meeting, in which Mateu Alemany has participated electronicallyand in which “Atletico wanted to issue a statement and I did not see it at the meeting. It was not on the agenda and we will raise it anyway. There is general malaise between the clubs.” Sevilla and Espanyol did make statements on their own.
thebes insisted on his thesis that “we must investigate and find a reasonable explanation. Until I see Negreira declaring before a judge, I will be faced with that uncertainty, almost certainty“.
