Spanish football is a cry and points to Javier Tebas For an occurrence that comes from years ago and that this season could finally see the light. It's about having a game of Liga a Miami And although in the last seasons several teams have been considered, finally it has been chosen to transfer the Villarreal-Barcelona of day 17, dated for the weekend of December 21 just before the Christmas break, with the approval of both clubs.
But directives apart, with the exception of some presidents, who truly compose Spanish football, who are players, coaches and fans, have shown their rejection of this Tebas and the League initiative. From Unai Simongoalkeeper of the Spanish team, Diego Pablo Simeonecoach of Atléticoto him Real Madridthe most important club of the championship and the country, the demonstration against the president of the employer is total.
The first player to take the floor around this matter was the goal of the Athletic Clubthat crossed out “lack of respect for fans” the idea of moving the Villarreal-Barça To the United States because “many cannot travel to Miami although the club pays the trip.” In this sense, the spokesman of the Peñas group From the yellow submarine he made public a speech similar to that of Unai Simon.
«It does not make us a bit of grace, even if they give us a five -star plane and hotel. If they propose it, I will not go. I like to go to the stadium and that there is football atmosphere. If they invite me to Miami, let it be to see the NBA o to Formula 1to see football I remain in Villarreal and in Space. We are disappointed. Knowing the Roig family we knew they were capable of this. We play in First In order to see these rivals at home in front of our fans and a sports level is a comparative grievance because we went from playing at home to do it in Miami surrounded by Barcelona fans, ”he said José Ángel Arnau In an interview in COPE's great game.
Hard statement from Real Madrid for the Miami Party
The reasons that lead to both players and coaches and love to denounce the transfer of this match are the same: not adulterate the competition depriving a team to play a game at home and, of course, respect the fans and those who pay a fertilizer or entry. Ángel Torrespresident of Getafeit was also very clear in that sense: «The competition with 150 players without registering for this weekend is enough. It is not a problem or business or money: in the Spanish league, you have to play one game in your field and the other, in your rival ».
Real Madrid, in the middle of the war with Thebes, issued a hard statement against the league for this matter that his coach signed, Xabi Alonsoat a press conference: «I agree with the club's statement. If the rules are changed, it must be unanimously of all participants. If not, you can't. Now it does not fit.
A very critical club also with this situation is the Ray Vallecano. In fact, your coach, Iñigo Pérezhe unmarked the opinion of its president, Martín Presawhich proposed that each team play a game abroad at home. Rayista coach's speech went viral: «I don't like it. It's like heat, I don't like to play 38 degrees and I don't like them to take a game abroad. But if I don't like it and I would like to change, I should not enter the hypocrisy and get out of this wheel to which you belong the best you do not want to leave ».
«I am First Division coach, we charge indecent wages and we do not want to leave. It's okay to say that I don't like it, but we do nothing to get out. So, my opinion: I do not like to play a league match in Miami, it seems to me that it is not adequate, but we belong to this industry. If you want to continue charging and sucking the boat you have to accept it, but I don't like it, ”he reflected. A player of his template, Sergio CamelHe subscribed his words: “really taking Spanish football to Miami does not make any meaning, and also a game.”
Simeone ignores Thebes of Thebes
And following the coaches, Simeone wanted to remove iron from the matter remembering that Atlético Thebas also offered to play against Barcelona in Miami, setting a date, but finally it never happened: «We are worrying about things that can happen and in the end they do not happen. We were going to play there for years and in the end nothing. Of the 100 things we think, 20% of them happen. We care about things that do not end up happening. We are going to focus on what we have today ».
Another overwhelming opinion was that of Jagoba Mondragónwhich reflects the situation of current Spanish football in which many times there is no other than resigning to the orders of Thebes and the championship: “I do not like it, but it has long since eaten the sirloin, complaining is not worth anything, something you have to do.”
Alessio LisciNew coach of Osasuna, also showed his criticism opinion in this regard: «It is normal that I don't like it, I don't like it. I believe that football is from fans, they are the engine of this, after the players obviously. I think that in recent years the soccer players are taking care of them very little, with the number of games they are playing, as well as fans. I don't like it either and I completely understand that fans are like that. We cannot do anything, express our opinions, although sometimes we cannot even express our opinions. It is so, I do not like it, it is also true that much of this is done due to televisions issues, which is also the basis of the money in the clubs. I'm not attacking anyone, I just don't like it.
And also Claudio GiraldezTechnician of the Celtic de Vigo: «For soccer players and fans it is not appropriate to play a game far from where we usually do it because it makes fans difficult to go and care for the players. I understand that we have to improve our brand, our income, that we have to sponsor our football and there must be income for it. The only thing that worries me is that it is equanimous, that justice is guaranteed in sportsmanship and that all clubs agree on those decisions ».
Players oppose
David Soriaof the Getafe, also critic with Villarreal-Barça: «Miami? The money always takes them, hitting 24 hours of flight for a game is not the best, so it costs Barcelona to win at our home, you are adulterating the competition ». As is Sergi Darder: “The more games play in your stadium, the better.” AND Edu Expósito: “We respect our fans a lot, they are the ones who encourage us, so we are against playing this type of matches.”
In short, dozens of demonstrations against the whim of Thebes, approved last Monday at an assembly by the Royal Spanish Football Federationof which he is vice president from the arrival to the presidency of Rafael Louzán. Discovering if you finally get it is a matter of weeks or months, although everything indicates that with the clubs of agreement it seems difficult to see that Villarreal-Barcelona in Ceramics This season.
