Real Madrid is in a permanent war with La Liga. One of the biggest clubs in the world is complaining all the time and not only to the domestic league (remember UEFA and Ballon d’Or). Florentino Perez is ruling the club with iron fist and thinks that the footballing world should be a replica of Real and his wise decisions. But in Javier Tebas (a childhood Real fan by the way), he found an opponent who is not afraid to speak, to reply or to deny the mighty club and its demands. And with the next issue started by Madrid, both coach Carlo Ancelotti and Tebas went into a verbal ’war’.The first man of La Liga: “Real Madrid is a club of crybabies”After accusations concerning racism over Vinicius and referees, the Madrid giant opened another subject – playing too many games in a short period. A few days ago, Ancelotti said the the club won’t play games which are less than 72 hours between each other. If you remember, they also complained that La Liga is always giving Real the latest times for their away games (around 22h Nairobi time), which means they cannot rest enought, to which Tebas replied: “In the NBA they play every 24 hours, they must all be dead“. He also added that there are five substitutes in order to rest players and said “It was decided to make five substitutions because of Covid, but if you then make three in the 85th minute and complain… If there are 25 players per squad, it’ll be necessary to rotate. It can’t be that everything is the fault of those of us who manage, of the leagues“.Real is tired and annoyed by late La Liga fixturesCoach Ancelotti was asked about it at the conference before the match with Legranes and he didn’t shy away.I knew Tebas was obsessed with Real Madrid, but I didn’t know he wanted to be a coach. Tebas should focus more on his own things. He lacked a bit of respect, to Real Madrid and to coaches” said the Italian. But as we said before, Tebas is not the man who will be shushed easily. So he quickly found out some Ancelotti’s quotes from a few years back and published it on his X account.Ingotsi eyes FKFPL return“My personal opinion is that three substitutions are enough to change the game. Having five, I don’t know, I think it can change the intensity of the game. I understand that some people want to have five, but if you need to rest a player because there’s a busy moment, you can leave him out at the start of the game” he said while coaching Everton in 2020 but in 2022 he said: “When the game breaks, if you have energy on the field you will take advantage of it. The five substitutions are good for us because we have fast and powerful players to take advantage of the spaces”.LA LIGA – MATCHDAYS 27 and 29Thursday Barcelona – Osasuna 3-0 (2-0)/Torres 10, Olmo (p) 20, Lewandowski 77/Saturday 16.00: (1.35) Sociedad (4.60) Valladolid (10.5)18.15: (6.10) Espanyol (3.80) Atl.Madrid (1.60)20.30: (2.30) Alaves (3.05) Rayo Vallecano (3.75)23.00: (1.15) Real Madrid (7.75) Leganes (19.0)Sunday15:00: (3.35) Getafe (3.20) Villarreal (2.40)17:15: (1.25) Barcelona (6.50) Girona FC (10.0)19:30: (1.47) Athletic Club (4.20) Osasuna (7.50)19:30: (2.20) Valencia (3.20) Mallorca (3.80)22:00: (1.90) Betis (3.60) Sevilla (4.50)Monday22:00: (1.65) Celta Vigo (4.25) Las Palmas (5.70)***odds are subject to change***
