Javier Tebas says what he means, and does what he says. The first man of Spanish La Liga didn’t want the European Super League when it was launched in April 2021 and he said that clearly, and he doesn’t want it now when the talk about the possible renewal is taking place. In fact, he is standing his ground and wants to protect the interests of the Spanish club, so he is threatening a general strike in the first and the second league next week. In fact, he has already called the General assembly to meet the day before, 27th of October and discuss the matter.🚨🚨| JUST IN: Javier Tebas has threatened to SUSPEND LaLiga if the Spanish Government doesn’t change the law prohibiting the Super League. The clubs are preparing for a strike. [@partidazocope] #fcblive— BarçaTimes (@BarcaTimes) October 20, 2022 With a potential strike, Tebas wants to pressure the Spanish government and the minister of culture and sport to change the upcoming law which will allow the clubs to participate in the Super League. According to COPE radio station, representatives of La Liga and 16 teams met Miquel Iceta, Minister of Culture and Sport last week, in order to make him see his concern about the role that the new Sports Law allows the Superliga. The initial meeting went well, but the situation got worse by the day, and now it has come to this – a possible general strike and postponement of Round 12 if the current proposal is voted by the Spanish assembly.Germans are still against the Super LeagueWhen the whole idea of the Super League started, three Spanish clubs were founded: Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, which was later dropped, by the Royal club and the Catalonians remained loyal to the idea.”The newly proposed top European competition is nothing more than a selfish, egotistical proposal designed to further enrich the already super rich. It will undermine the appeal of the whole game and have a deeply damaging impact on the immediate and future of La Liga, its member clubs, and all the entire footballing ecosystem. In addition, the breakaway league threatens the rest of Spanish sports to which, in the current season, La Liga will contribute more than 126 million euros as part of its agreement with the Spanish government and the Spanish FA. We use all measures at our disposal and work with all stakeholders to defend the integrity and future of Spanish football in the best interests of the game,” read the statement from La Liga signed by Tebas in 2021. Now they want to put their words into action and protect the Spanish league. Will they succeed is another matter.##NAJAVA_MECA_6736761##
