New chapter in the war between Javier Tebas and Luis Rubiales. In recent weeks there have been several attacks between the two as a result of the Negreira case, and on this occasion it has been the president of LaLiga who has attacked the highest representative of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) through a message on Twitter .
“What ignorance, in order to hide the responsibility of others and of the RFEF. “Rubí”, what has @FCBarcelona_es paid to a senior official of the RFEF referees! And the RFEF receives requests from the treasury and the prosecutor’s office and he doesn’t find out anything”, Thebes wrote this Thursday.
This message is produced in response to Rubiales’ statements in the special broadcast by Cuatro on the Negreira case, where the RFEF president assured that “the economic control that LaLiga executes for these things is useless. It will be used for other things, but not They’ve been able to figure this out.”
Tebas’s statements have already provoked the first reactions in the RFEF, and Javier Gómez Matallanas, spokesman for the Federation, has also answered the president of LaLiga via Twitter: “Have you had access to the FCB accounts for the last 20 years and Have you not been able to detect what you describe as the most serious case for the 7 million euros paid by the FCB?” Matallanas questioned.
“You say that this “takes away your sleep”, but you were asleep while it was happening. Your management is a disaster and your economic control is arbitrary and only serves to intimidate the clubs and they have to dance the water for you,” he added.
The response of the top leader of LaLiga has not been long in coming, and he has defended himself through another message: “Mata” you do not know what economic control is for (this is how the 1 RFEF is doing), and is it not useful for UEFA? And your Compliance? Rubí can’t give any control lessons until he explains the integrity of some games when he was a player, remember Mata?” He said with a clear sarcastic tone.
But the tension between the two comes from afar. A few weeks ago it was Luis Rubiales who attacked Tebas in the program ‘Traveling with Chester’ presented by Risto Mejjide. On that occasion, the top leader of the Federation assured that he would denounce issues that he believed were being done wrong, and accused Thebes of manipulation. “I am never going to sit down and talk to someone who lies and hurts me to get me out of the place where I am,” he warned.
In relation to the Negreira case, on March 22 the president of LaLiga asked Rubiales to dismiss Laporta, and also took the opportunity to charge against Madrid and ask the RFEF to take action on the matter in the face of criticism from the white club towards the arbitration group.
But the war between the two goes beyond the scandal that arose at Barça with the referees. Last February Luis Rubiales participated in the Europa Press Breakfasts, and took the opportunity to throw a dart at the president of LaLiga: “The best ambassador of the European Super League is Javier Tebas,” he declared. “The CVC thing (the investment fund with which the League has formalized an agreement) has been an economically disastrous management and we also think it is illegal. It has made the poorest poorer and the richest poorer in relation to the Premier”, he sentenced.
