After having studied the case carefully, the Higher Sports Council has decided to validate the registrations of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor in LaLiga. This has caused anger among many, especially at Real Madrid, where the furious reaction of José Luis Sánchez stands out. The well-known ultra, during his latest appearance on El Chiringuito, sent a direct message to Tebas, the president of the competition, calling for a "strike" next weekend.
José Luis Sánchez Asks Tebas: "Strike"
José Luis Sánchez didn't hold back, harshly attacking the Spanish government after the recent decision regarding Barça. "The only thing I want to take advantage of tonight on El Chiringuito is to congratulate Mr. Puigdemont, President Pedro Sánchez, Ms. Alegría, Uribes. They have destroyed Spanish soccer. It's a sport now where the law is worthless, where cheating is rewarded... where there are no punishments," he pointed out.
He continued: "The only thing I ask Mr. Tebas is to declare a strike in Spanish soccer and for no one to play. If he wants to be taken seriously after today, there should be no matchday. What has happened is so serious: the government deciding on Spanish soccer."
In this regard, José Luis Sánchez was adamant: "Tebas has to say: 'There is no matchday,' it's very serious. There are teams that have sold, that have been relegated... Today it has been decided that cheating is valid and the law is not. If Tebas doesn't declare a strike, everyone has the right to bypass economic and financial control."
"What sense does it make for Madrid to have perfect accounts? What is it all worth? The money from Barça Studios, Libero, Orpheus Media hasn't appeared... Negreira has appeared, the levers, Barça has renewed players with money it hasn't received: Olmo, Pau Víctor, Lewandowski, Koundé, Raphinha... They continue competing and nothing happens. Free rein, Mr. Tebas: declare a strike next weekend, there's no other way," he concluded.
Barça Is Right
Despite José Luis Sánchez's reaction, acting more as an ultra than a journalist, one thing is clear in all this. Barça was always right, and higher authorities have acknowledged it. Tebas tried to stop registrations that were completely legal, attempting to change the rules of the game once again. Whether it bothers anyone or not, the reality is this, and Laporta has once again emerged victorious from an important battle.
It hasn't been easy, but Barça has gotten its way, even if this doesn't sit well in Madrid.
