La League Boss Javier Tebas criticizes FIFA: World Cup

According to Javier Tebas, Chief of the Spanish La League, World Championships would destroy the complete ecosystem of football in the two-year rhythm, especially in Europe.

Should the World Association FIFA enforce its plans despite massive resistance, the effects of Tebas could be fatal. Maybe leagues are reduced, the value of the TV rights for these leagues sinks, the players earn less there. So we make football into a Tebas of the elites. That s a big mistake, said the 59-year-old in an interview of the Tebas picture .

You have to see football as a global whole. The FIFA makes the football elitist, not global.

Tebas criticizes reform plans to the Champions League

The Champions League reform plans of the European Football Union UEFA sees Teba s critical. From 2024, among other things, in the preliminary round, the number of games of six should rise to ten. From his point of view, you should start with eight lots and look, whether that does not damage the value of the national leagues. If that does not happen, you can then increase to ten, Tebas said.

There is a risk of competitive distortion for him. If certain clubs get even more money because they play in the European Cup, then this distorts the national leagues. These clubs can pay the players who already earn a lot, then more money. We have to think of ethics, Tebas warned .

One should be considered if it is true to generate more money, only the players of a few large clubs can then do several estates ten Ferraris plus, rather than seven Ferraris. Money should also flow into smaller countries.
