“It’s an obsession, after which they begin crying. It’s not true. A story has been constructed that’s merely not actual. Referees will make errors; in truth, I consider the refereeing system wants a deep reform, one thing we now have been advocating for a very long time.”
Taking purpose at Florentino Perez, Tebas identified that the Actual Madrid president by no means mentioned something when the Negreira case broke out and he was on the board of the RFEF.

“Now, all of a sudden, they ship an aggressive letter, however earlier than, they remained silent. One month after the Negreira case was revealed, we held an Meeting assembly to debate what we believed to be the perfect refereeing mannequin.
“Actual Madrid didn’t align with the vast majority of golf equipment; they wavered, trying to find an answer that suited them finest.”
Additional explaining why he referred to as them a ‘crybaby membership’ he added: “For me, they’re crybabies as a result of in the event that they win, it’s as a result of they fought towards the forces of excellent and evil. But when they lose, it’s as a result of there was a refereeing conspiracy towards Actual Madrid.
“I’ve youngsters and grandchildren who assist Madrid, and I’m beginning to really feel ashamed of what I as soon as skilled as a Madridista. This membership has by no means been one to complain, and now take a look at them…”
Relating to Actual Madrid gamers posing behind a banner in assist of referees forward of their La Liga sport towards Girona, regardless of the membership’s ongoing conflict towards the officiating within the league, Tebas remarked:
“One other vital element that must be analysed fastidiously: yesterday, the gamers stood behind the banner. Did they do it as a result of they genuinely believed in it? I believe so.”
Tebas additionally referenced a tweet by Actual Madrid participant Federico Valverde earlier than the Manchester Metropolis sport, the place after having earlier sympathised with the plight of referees in a press convention.
“Ask Valverde concerning the message he gave after which needed to shortly retract. Ask him what occurred that made him speak about a subject after which change his stance in a tweet an hour later,” he famous.
“There may be an try to make all Madridistas—gamers, coaches, everybody – purchase right into a conspiracy principle that doesn’t exist.”

“What is going on is an insult to the remainder of the golf equipment. When a group beats Actual Madrid, it’s not as a result of they performed higher however as a result of the referee allegedly made choices towards Madrid on objective.”
Commenting on Actual Madrid’s latest assertion, Tebas mentioned, “Claiming that LaLiga is ‘adulterated’ is a severe accusation. We have now reported this to the Competitors Committee. Such statements are extremely damaging.

“Florentino Perez is repeating the identical issues he mentioned in 2021 on El Chiringuito. 4 years have handed, and so far as I do know, we aren’t bankrupt. If somebody as skilled and influential as him says it, folks consider it.
“Now the narrative is that Tebas and La Liga are going to expropriate Actual Madrid. Who may presumably consider that?”
The La Liga president additionally addressed the chants directed towards him at Actual Madrid’s stadium, the Santiago Bernabeu.
“All of the chants have been completely orchestrated. The primary orchestrator is the Pena Clásica, led by Carlos Clara, a member of Extremely Sur who was convicted two months in the past for assaulting different Madridistas inside and out of doors the stadium,” he mentioned.
“Possibly it’s time to cease criticising Frente Atlético and take a look at what is going on there.

“In the future, they current an audiovisual undertaking as one thing essential, and the subsequent day, it turns into a hidden platform that no one even is aware of the color of.
“Do you actually suppose an trade as important as soccer, with so many roles relying on it, might be dealt with like that?”
