The president of LaLiga speaks on Aragón Tv about the AFE elections: “Someone has wanted Aganzo do not have independence “

ANDhe president of LaLiga, Javier Tebas, has spent the day in Zaragoza and has granted an interview to regional television Aragon TV. In it, in addition to reviewing current issues on Spanish football, he wanted to refer to the controversial vote count in the elections to the AFE presidency: “Is anyone looking to annul an election? Aganzo have no independence. They accuse me of wanting to dominate football, but there are others who surpass me, “he explained.

Later, speaking about what from now on he will coincide with the president of the RFEF, Luis Rubiales, the president of LaLiga assured that the confrontation they have in Spain will not be transferred to European issues: “On the issues of Europe we agree a lot” .

He also advanced the possible start of the next League 2021-22: “The elections in AFE are being expected to end. I think it will be on August 14,” he ventured. LaLiga and AFE have to agree and, later, have the approval of the RFEF. If they did not agree (it happens a lot) it would be decided in the CSD.

In the morning, in a forum of managers

Hours before, the president of LaLiga participated in a forum of ADEA (Association of Directors and Executives of Aragon) in which he touched on other topics. In addition to confirming that they have carried out 140,000 PCR, 5,672 serological tests and 194,000 antigen tests, he has again faced the issue of the return of the public to the stadiums: “The clubs have the capacity for the public to return tomorrow. The protocol has it very clear. I hope that for the last league games there will be an audience with a capacity of 10% or 20%. We have a very exhaustive protocol. We solve the problem of crowds before entering. We are confused lately. Badajoz there were 7,000 spectators, there are concerts … The CSD is the one that decides when the public enters. It is something that must be resolved. There must be different views regarding the third wave. Now it is necessary to put the variable of indices of admitted, of ICU beds and not only of infected. The hazard index is reduced by the vaccine. You have to take that into account as well. You have to see these other indices that are going down. We don’t want to fill the stadiums, we want to start with 10 or 20%. We have to try to mitigate the losses. Within the CSD there is a working group on this. I hope that in the last days there will be.

On the insult to Diakhaby his intention to go all the way

“It is within your right. I recommend, if you are not convinced, that you go to the end. A job has been done with both the audios with the stadium sound and the lip reading and it is not detected that Creek say that insult. So what we’re not going to do is say he said it. And we don’t hide anything. What do we gain here by hiding things? If he or his club get something to say it, but in fact we have a second report that confirms that this insult is not heard. I’m not going to argue that he thinks he heard it, but according to all the reports we have, he misheard. That is so and if I do not say that, the injured party is the other player. It is not proven that Cala said that. And we have worked on it, we have asked for the reports and we have been patient. It would have to appear something in which it is clear that he said it, but if in this country, because a player says so, we have to impose a sanction or disqualify him for two years, we would be wrong. ”

Counting of votes in the elections to the presidency of AFE

“For a Netflix series it’s very good. I don’t know if it’s comedy or suspense.”

On possible sales of clubs like Valladolid or Getafe

“I don’t see Ronaldo or Ángel Torres who are going to sell in the short term.”

About COVID

“32% of professional soccer players have passed the covid. There are some like Carrasco who have been through it up to two times. All the clubs have had cases, but they have been drips. With the Fuenlabrada case, the protocol was changed because it was found that the contagion had been in the locker room. The recent case of Mirandés was after playing in Zaragoza when there was a player infected and he was on the bus with others. And in the case of Granada, they shared a dressing room because UEFA’s protocol is different. So at the beginning we had a conflict with the coaches who wanted to keep using the changing rooms. Called us up Zidane… but it was necessary. ”

Centralized sale of TV rights

“We are not facing a negotiation but rather a contest. We are going to be very disruptive. Yesterday they told me that they had never seen what we are going to propose. Interested operators will bid on the packages that interest them. The novelty that is going to be raised is there will be up to four packages. We are still working on this matter. “

The future of football revenue

“Quantitatively it will continue to be important for audiovisuals. Although in the future it will be mainly OTT. That allows a revolution in the relationship with the fans. We are far above the sports industry, including the North American one, because of how we were working on it. We use artificial intelligence to set the match schedules thanks to all the data we have on the number of spectators that go to the stadiums and their audiences on television. All this you can know how many people will go to the stadiums and how many people He will see you on television 30 days in advance and with a margin of error of 2%. With that you can optimize the schedules. “
