PETALING JAYA: With so many events including the Olympics and European Championships, cancelled or suspended around the world, there was an air of pessimism everywhere.
Not in Spanish football, though. Pessimism is a word that La Liga president Javier Tebas does not want to be associated with.
Tebas and his team in La Liga, meanwhile, were hard at work. Months of discussions with organisations, healthcare officials and government agencies have seen the league restarting with Sevilla beating Real Betis 2-0 at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium. “We have to recognise the fact that we have to go back to football, and based on what I have seen so far, clubs are abiding by the healthcare regulations, which is good.”
“Take the transfer window, for example. This season, more than €3bil were spent, but we expect that to be reduced to around €800mil .“However, clubs are healthy financially, and they can cope. There is a worry that the league could lose top talents, but you have to understand that all of Europe is suffering from the pandemic. I am not too worried on that front.”
