The happiness of some provokes the indignation of others.
This Thursday, Atlético de Madrid did not mince their words after the decision of the Spanish Superior Sports Council (CSD) to allow Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor to play again in the colors of Barça. A « deep concern » expressed in a press release. Throughout Spain, many clubs are crying out l’injustice.
A dangerous precedent
Thursday evening, THE Colchoneros released a scathing press release : « This decision endangers the current system, calling into question the rules of the game, particularly on the economic level. Sports law protects La Liga’s economic control, but this resolution puts it at risk. To remain competitive, we have even had to carry out several capital increases, despite the efforts that this represents. »
Atlético thus denounces a major breach of the rules of the game and a dangerous precedent : the intervention of the Spanish government in this sensitive matter. “ This intervention sets a very dangerous precedent. It opens the door to violations of the rules and the repetition of serious mistakes of the past. » Atlético is not alone in this battle. Bilbao describes the situation as “ grotesque »Las Palmas fustige « a decision which seriously endangers the integrity of the competition », and Valladolid speaks of a « serious comparative disadvantage ».
The slingshot is launched.
