La Liga boss Javier Tebas did not appreciate that Real Madrid president Florentino Perez once again attacked the governance of Spanish football on Sunday during the Madrid club's general assembly. He responded to her point by point on social networks.
The rag is still burning between Florentino Perez and Javier Tebas. Disagreeing on many subjects, the president of Real Madrid and La Liga have been engaged in a war of words for several years. Latest episode to date Sunday during the club's general assembly for the 14 Champions Leagues. On this occasion, Florentino Perez, very concerned about the economic health of European football in general and Spanish football in particular, took out the sulphate. Among his many criticisms aimed at La Liga, he notably denounced the lack of transparency concerning the distribution of income from TV rights and the commercial agreement with the CVC fund.
“For him, everything is bad and only his ideas are good”
“The situation in the Spanish league is not much better,” said Florentino Perez after drawing up an inglorious assessment of the financial situation in France. “The last sale of rights in 2021 gave disappointing results, worse than those of the previous cycle, especially if we take into account inflation. Without going any further, Real Madrid won, during the last season , practically the same amount of LaLiga audiovisual rights as ten years ago. Spanish clubs are in crisis and the operation with CVC has only worsened the situation.
Attacks that could not go unanswered. So Javier Tebas counterattacked on social networks: “After listening to Florentino Perez at the assembly, I continue to see in him this “messianic” character of the savior of football that, paradoxically, no one supports,” declared, ironically, the president of La Liga before adding: “For him, everything is bad and only his ideas are good.”
“We will continue to unmask your lies, your phantom amendments and half-truths”
In detail, regarding the income received by Real, Javier Tebas corrects: “The reality is very different, the club (Real Madrid) has increased its income, just like FC Barcelona. Which Florentino Perez does not seem to accept, is that the centralized sale of TV rights has allowed other clubs to benefit from the extraordinary growth of Spanish football, which has increased its income Florentino Perez does not accept that collective success does not depend solely on Real Madrid. “
Proud of his record, Javier Tebas is convinced of being supported by the majority of Spanish clubs, arguing that certain ideas defended by Florentino Perez on Friday during the La Liga assembly only obtained 3 votes out of 42 possible during a secret ballot. “You cannot deceive all La Liga clubs. We will continue to unmask your lies, your phantom amendments and half-truths,” concludes Javier Tebas.
