The President of the Professional Football League accuses the President of the Spanish Football Federation of going to look for girls at a nightclub for his particular party in Salobreña
He wonders in a tweet if it was necessary to have come this far
It doesn’t take much digging to see that Javier Tebas and Luis Rubiales have never had a friendly relationship. The presidents of the Professional Football League (LFP) and the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) have discussed different areas of national football in recent years and that both organisms are distributed. Among them the television rights, the VAR and the arbitrations, the schedules or the transfer to Saudi Arabia for the dispute of the Super Cup in that country among many others.
The two top leaders of the organizations that command the most in Spanish football are not capable of meeting to smooth things over and make peace. In fact, the Higher Sports Council and other organizations have offered to mediate between them, but without success. Of course, Tebas and Rubiales take advantage of every opportunity they have to reproach each other by ‘X’, Elon Musk’s network formerly known as twitter.
The most recent example is what happened with the President of the RFEF and Jenni Hermoso in celebrating the achievement of the Women’s World Cup. Rubiales did not resign last Friday the 25th in the Extraordinary Assembly of the Federation as many expected and Javier Tebas wasted no time giving his opinion on what happened in a long Twitter thread.
“I must admit that it has been very difficult to explain what is happening with Luis Rubiales during these years. I have the feeling that many people, until now, did not understandto what the members of the football estates have to live in dealing with him as president of the RFEF. The misogynistic gestures, the profane expressions, the protocol disaster and the insults of this latest global embarrassment, are not a surprise and they had obvious precedents that should have prevented a new victim (which should not be in the spotlight),” Tebas writes.
Add: “Insults, bravado, blackmail, threats, espionage and persecution, fraudulently using federative agencies, we suffer and have denounced many: Men’s and women’s professional soccer, futsal, amateur soccer clubs, soccer associations, territorial presidents, presidents of the Higher Sports Council, integrity directors, ministers, referees, players… The list of women and men wronged by Luis Rubiales these years is too great and this must stop”.
The strong man of LaLiga highlights that “Rubiales is interested in lying and presenting myself as a conspirator to hide himself in a false equidistance and get out of the way of his scandals and excesses. Nothing could be further from the truth. Although the crude victimization trick has worked for him too many times, this time to keep trying is just ridiculousit is impossible to attribute his misogynistic and despicable behavior to any absurd plot when the reputational damage for all of Spanish football is already inevitable.”
A day later, FIFA suspended Rubiales from his duties and Today Thebes has attacked again through the same social network. The President of the LFP accuses the President of the RFEF of “going to look for “friends” at a disco for their party in a chalet in Salobreña during a “work” meeting and he wonders if the corresponding estates had listened to his warnings, would this situation have come to pass: “I said it on Friday and I insist, I think the starting point for joint reflection is whether it could have avoided getting to this point. How and why did the leaders of a Federation survive in which consideration for women is to go looking for “friends” at a disco for their party in a chalet in Salobreña during a “work” meeting. What has gone wrong so that no one wanted to listen to all of us who denounced this and other behaviors?
