The League requested the postponement only of the matches that are played in stadiums located in the Levantine region and the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) approved said request.
However, the highest body of Spanish football decided that the rest of the scheduled matches should be played normally. And that has caused the opposition, even angerof practically all football fans and professionals.
In press conferences and other appearances before the media, there is an unusual unanimity when it comes to expressing opinions on the matter. “If it were up to me, we wouldn’t play”becomes the general and repeated idea that summarizes the statements of some and others.
Faced with such an outcry, Tebas used his official account on the social network Twitter) to insist on the appropriateness of the League’s controversial decision:
«We believe that in the terrible situation that we are experiencing in Spain, the best message is not to stop, except in the affected areas. The best message is to be on the front line in our jobs like all workers in the rest of the sectors, giving visibility, generating resources and explaining to the world that we have to be all hands on deck to get ahead.
