The president of the employers has once again attacked Rubiales in a congress held in Portugal

He has also defended the innovations implemented in the television broadcasts of LaLiga matches

The president of LaLiga, Javier Tebas, has participated in the second edition of the ‘Thinking Football Summit’, an event organized by the Portuguese League, where he reviewed current football events, as well as the state of Spanish football, following the ‘case Rubiales’.

He has argued that the situation of Spanish football is not easy and is facing the “greatest reputational crisis”, remembering that before they asked him about Negreira and now about Rubiales; whom he considers a “suspended president”.

As is customary in his speech, he once again pointed out the state clubs as “a problem that we have to face”, which now also includes the Premier League and its big contracts. “They lose up to 200 or 300 million euros a year, although the rules of UEFA and the Premier itself establish a limit of 90”has said.

As regards the rise of football in Saudi Arabia with pharaonic contracts, having been the second competition that has invested the most in the summer transfer market, has pointed out that “it is still far behind the top European leagues in every way”.

Finally, he has also defended some of the new features that have been implemented this season in the television broadcasts of LaLiga matches.

“The interviews at half-time, the cameras in the locker room, the microphones in the coaches’ talks… it’s a whole product, it’s important that the spectator has more minutes and different things. We don’t have to invent anything, all American sports They do this. When a coach says that this violates privacy… this is done at the premiere and they don’t say anything“, he declared.
