Javier Tebas analyzed the state of the football and LaLiga business in an event of the football industry on the occasion of the ten years of the signing of the Royal decree in which the centralized distribution of audiovisual rights in the Spanish championship was implemented.
LaLiga's president talked about that matter and many more: piracy, economic control, new competitions… and his relationship with Florentino Pérez.
“I hope this World Cup is the last,” Laliga's president also said.
Relationship with Florentino Pérez: “I would be more comfortable hugging Florentino with the invitation that comes to me (it refers to the invitation that comes to go to the box every game), I would be happy in my house, my children would not look bad at me. But if you want that would destroy the national leagues. The Eurocup and sit in the box to face and be politically incorrect. “
Audiovisual rights: “From the Fourth of LaLiga to the last one there is a dependency of audiovisual rights … The fourth is 50% of its income, up to 95% of its income that can be for lightning, the Eibar … another problem is commercial income, small and medium cake”.
How can FIFA rethink the Club World Cup? “Eliminating. My goal is that there are no more club World Cups, I am very clear.”
Is there no way to make it compatible? “There are no dates. No other competition is needed that moves money towards a sector of clubs and players and leaves somewhere. There is no more money here, you have to keep the ecosystem and eliminate it. Keep it as it was before, which was a weekend. There is no form, neither by dates either by economy nor for maintaining the sustainability of football.”
Are you seeing it? “I have not seen a game. Well, yesterday I saw a while of the Chelsea match against Los Angeles and I thought it was a friendly summer. I didn't see intensity, a corrective, at least the 25 minutes I saw, then I don't know if there was more intensity.”
Free LaLiga as the Club World Cup? Impossible
The Atlético -ps, Máximo Share: “Maximum Share of the night, but we are going to see … television one day we will have to make a talk. If you are in a chain like Telecinco, that parts of 10% already put what you put … Telecinco puts anything there and has …”.
It went to 17%: “Therefore, it is not that it has been incredible. I of that day what I value is that in payment, the Racing-Mirandés, in payment, was about half a million. In payment, not in free. Normally the payment hearings can mutter them for eight, would overcome that party.”
What do you think Dazn is giving it free? “They will be the ones who have to know.”
Is it viable for LaLiga? “Impossible. Impossible neither for LaLiga, neither for the Premier nor for the Champions or at all.”
That the Club World Cup ends before, why do we have to change?
Does Barça have money to sign Nico Williams and register him? “I don't know, what I can tell you is that you have to make movements and see what players … as I hear so many: Nico Williams, the other, the motorcycle because I don't know. First that what is written is true, I don't know if it's true.”
Is Barça in Standard 1/1? “No, not yet.”
Do you know that you have paid Joan García's classula? “I think the other day they already announced. I don't know if I was going today, I don't find out much about these things.”
What is missing to validate it and that Barça makes it official? “If Espanyol has already had a statement, that Barça does whenever he wants. One thing is that he makes it official and another that can register it. We are not even in registration period, right now I could not register it. We will see. Barça will have to do things to be able to register it. Just not very much, but he will have to do things. If Barça already knows what he has to do.
Does it condition what Madrid and Atlético do at the Calendar Club World Cup? “Man, of course conditions. Here is a collective agreement that says three weeks of vacation and of course that will comply with that. Any other circumstance that will have to be authorized, consensus of the competent authorities that we make the decisions, but we will wait Not because they have always started a week later and the French league in theory begins on August 14, but as there sends the Khelaifi, it will be he who decides when he begins.
Before attending to the media, during the presentation, he had also talked about this matter in the following terms: “That the Club World Cup ends before, why do we have to be the ones who have to change?”
I am always excited about Real Madrid
Is it possible that they do not play the first two days of LaLiga? “Two are already added. They have asked, there has been no response, they have been told that we are going to see the events and we will see when the time comes what happens. I do not have it so clear.”
How many days have Madrid and Atlético asked for? “They have said, but it has not been specified if the first or two …”
What does it depend on? “We are going to see where they arrive and then we will make the decisions with the relevant consultations to the clubs and everyone.”
How many dates are there to recover days? “None, see what happened last season, Barcelona had to play by returning FIFA date to recover a LaLiga game. If Madrid, Atlético, Barcelona came to play all the games, we would have problems.”
As a Madrid player, is he excited about Xabi Alonso's Madrid? “I am always excited about Real Madrid. Of Xabi Alonso, from Ancelotti … of all. I do not disappoint me as fast as so much Peña is disappointed. Madrid always excites, what happens is that there are moments that have a better time, but always has players that its moment is sometimes not so good, but they are players who can win everything. You see, with more goals than any.
Is it for the Golden Ball? “It may be too, but I think there are other candidates too.”
I don't complain if in such a game Rubi shit it changing
And Lamine? “Lamine yes, I believe that for me it is a clear candidate for the Golden Ball.”
Rubi's criticism for not being able to have Luis Suarez in the Playoff ascent: “We have been playing the playoffs without international and twelve years and on FIFA dates for giving value to the category. I just gave the audiences of Racing-Mirandés. They already know it when the players sign. That he complains to Colombia, which was the third option. I also do not complain if in such a game he would change it. eleven years.
Mirandés miracle: “Get here … The Mirandés has done something that at first we said 'Well, he is up here, he will not endure.' There he is, playing the final to ascend. Without belittling Oviedo, which also deserves the ascent after so many years that the club, his fans, his fans … The Mirandés that Extremadura. Both would be good for football with their differences.
