Javier Tebas does not mince his words and leaves no stone unturned, now once again pointing to the Dani Olmo case and also putting the spotlight on everything that has been said in recent days about refereeing in La Liga . The president of the employers' association reviewed what the case gave rise to and how he sees the situation today, with the footballer playing after receiving the precautionary measure from the Higher Sports Council .
"The League should not end with Barça," predicted Javier Tebas about the situation of Dani Olmo , confident that in the coming weeks Barcelona will receive a new setback with this situation that will cancel the current registration of the attacking midfielder, and that of Pau Víctor , both in the same 'pack'.
«In August I was hoping that he would solve his problems, but in the last three days they wanted to solve everything quickly and in a hurry and they couldn't», reflected Tebas , who assures that at Barça they were more than aware that this could happen: « Olmo signed knowing that he might not play after December. The company that paid (the VIP boxes) didn't seem solvent, everything went to the CSD and in 24 hours it was resolved. Olmo shouldn't end LaLiga with Barça», assured Tebas in a sports breakfast with Europa Press
Beyond the Dani Olmo case , Javier Tebas sees a worrying situation at Barcelona , with many inherited problems and operations that have gone wrong during this time of Joan Laporta at the head of the club: « Barça has to be worried and busy with its economic situation. They come from terrible losses and that has to be recovered. They have also had operations that have not worked out for them, such as the sale of Barça Studios … All teams have their concerns.»
Another recurring theme, with this wave of complaints about referees, is the Negreira case . Javier Tebas went over the situation again and confessed that, if the statute of limitations had not expired, “Barcelona would have been relegated” due to this whole mess. “That does not mean that there was a purchase of referees, we believe that the money that Negreira received was with the aim of influencing promotions and relegations and that is sporting corruption. That has not expired,” commented Javier Tebas , who also points out that “then there is the sporting sphere,” and adds: “When the facts were discovered, three years had already passed and the statute of limitations had expired in the sporting sphere. If we could, of course we would do it, with the corresponding sanctions. If it had not expired, Barcelona would have been relegated, I said that there.”
Javier Tebas did not overlook the growing tension with refereeing in La Liga . The president of the association acknowledged that right now "there is a fear of seeing who will referee and who will take responsibility" for managing the big teams, although "that does not mean that there is a conspiracy."
Javier Tebas also points out that "we have to change in order to be better" and that it is not up to him "to cut heads, but if the same team continues that does not see that changes need to be made...". On the other hand, he did not overlook Real Madrid 's statement on the League and the term 'adulterated', to which he said: "These are big words, that does a lot of damage."
