Real Madrid TV exposes Tebas over the World Cup, harsh comparison: 'By the shovelful'

The official television channel of the white club did not hesitate to point to the president of LaLiga

The Club World Cup celebration, organized by FIFA in the United States, has sparked many debates regarding other competitions. Especially because of the participation of Spanish teams, such as Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid, which also compete in tournaments like LaLiga, presided over by Javier Tebas.

Precisely, that championship was at the center of the debate in one of the most recent Real Madrid TV programs. The controversy over the refusal to change the Real Madrid-Osasuna match schedule for the upcoming August 19 is still unsolved. "The president of the employers' association, as always, helping the teams that" are leaders and great representatives of Spanish soccer, says Miguel Ángel Muñoz.

The co-director of Real Madrid TV goes a step further, talking about another controversial issue in LaLiga. "Before the holidays arrive, he has to leave the roster finalized, which, as you know, he prepares, of the commentators and narrators for the matches" of each matchday. For Miguel Ángel Muñoz, "it's an unbelievable thing", an idea that Jesús Alcaide also links to the scheduling of each team's matches.

The Madridist panelist doesn't agree that Javier Tebas uses them "as a weapon of war, as he did this very season. Well, this one is already starting quickly", warns Alcaide regarding the controversy surrounding Real Madrid-Osasuna and the date change denied days ago by LaLiga.

"Anyone who in this case were president of LaLiga, when you have an icon, the greatest of all time... not that you should take better care of it than others, but at least take care of it equally", argues the host of that Real Madrid TV show. "But no, instead, more shovelfuls on top of Real Madrid", this journalist concludes about the situation of the white club in the top national competition.

The debate about the differences between the Club World Cup and LaLiga didn't stop with those remarks, since Jesús Alcaide replied directly to Javier Tebas about his own words. The panelist pointed out that "the Club World Cup has been wonderful, soccer for the fans, free-to-air, for the millions of supporters, and refereeing transparency. Just like the Negreira League", he says in response to Javier Tebas, who wants to prevent that competition organized by FIFA from being played again.

In this context, Real Madrid TV once again shows its disagreement with the words and ideas of Javier Tebas regarding the organization of LaLiga in aspects such as scheduling. The end of the Club World Cup and the announcement of the roadmap for the next league season haven't been well received in any sector of the Spanish capital club.

Hence the criticisms made of Javier Tebas on Real Madrid TV. What happened regarding Real Madrid-Osasuna adds more tension to one of the open fronts for the white club: its disagreements with the Spanish soccer employers' association are well known. It doesn't seem like they're going to end soon, judging by the decisions made by LaLiga itself, as well as the responses delivered live by Real Madrid's official television channel.
