Laporta also does not clarify anything in front of the clubs and does not convince anyone

He was there for 20 minutes this Wednesday Joan Laporta offering explanations about The case of Negreiro before other leaders of professional football at the headquarters of the League, but as two days earlier at Camp Nou, where he got out of the victim again and drew attention by accusing himself of the “regime team”, the president Barcelona “He didn’t clarify anything and didn’t convince anyone,” he admitted Xaver Teba.

“Laporta made a summary of what we heard on Monday, so the case will continue in Spain in court and abroad in Uefa”, was confirmed by the president of the League after the extraordinary meeting of the club’s employers. Its presidents are Mr First and Second division Laporti resented him for insinuating that when the scandal broke two months ago, “that’s what all the clubs do” to pay a high-ranking judge.

“Laporta defended that the payments to Negreira were not intended to buy referees or to influence arbitration, but the clubs said that this was not normal or usual, that these payments (more than seven million euros) were not correct and that they had to investigate » Teba revealed The top leader of the League personally told Laporta this Wednesday that “it is incomprehensible to spend so many years (up to 18) paying the vice president Technical committee of judges». “I don’t think that Barcelona bought the referees, but we believe that there is an indication that they wanted to influence something and only the intention can be punishable behavior. This kind of behavior is very serious and they are not a sufficient explanation,” insisted Tebas, for whom Laporta’s intervention in the assembly was “very polite and not so much accepting the flag.”

After Laporta accused Tebas of “irresponsibility” due to the appearance of the club’s employers in the criminal proceedings opened in Barcelona, ​​Tebas once again reminded the leader of Barça that “it was an agreement of the delegated commission of the League”. “The clubs have also emphasized that this is not a Teba issue and that the League cannot look the other way in this case,” the Huesca leader said after Laporta left the assembly, which he did not attend. Florentino Pérez, without wanting to make statements.

He was the chief executive officer of the company Real Madrid, José Ángel Sánchez, who represented Barcelona’s eternal rival who decided to appear as a private prosecutor in the ‘Negreira case’, the biggest scandal in the history of Spanish football that also affected the relations between the Catalans and the white allies in the fight for European Super League. “I didn’t expect Florentino, because he hasn’t come for years, and it doesn’t mean anything to the League,” calmed Tebas, who also revealed that the white club did not intervene during the assembly, after the recent controversy generated by the video in which Real Madrid responded to Laporta on Monday night .

“Give face” before

“That discussion reminded me of when I was 19 or 20 years old, when you went with your friends to a party and ended up at five in the morning in the bar discussing who was the regime’s team, who stole Cup. This debate that has been introduced diverts attention from the essential problems we have in Spanish professional football,” laments Tebas. The president of the League wanted to recall the case of Osasuna leaders who ended up in prison for sports corruption and announced that the League had asked the court to investigate the son as well Enriquez Negreira, “Because there are indications that he was involved in the events and that he was the one who dined with the judges.”

Tebas, who was approached by Laporta to shake his hand before starting the meeting that lasted more than three and a half hours, wanted to thank the Barcelona president for going to the headquarters of the League “to show his face, even though what I should do it earlier.” “The fact that he came reduces the level of anger of the clubs,” Tebas said after the outcry caused by Barca’s club, which “with the Negreira case” tarnished the image of football and Spanish sports.

“It was not necessary to be very good today because he did not respond nor was it a forum for Barcelona to make their legal defense and I asked everyone to intervene with respect and education. Real Madrid remained silent, but that is not so important if they did not want to speak “Football does not revolve around Madrid, but around all the clubs,” launched Tebas, who admitted that “people want the institutions to fight and investigate all indications of corruption.”
