“I want to talk about what worries us, and our coach has already mentioned it, which is this upcoming match against Betis. I should add that they are a great team and one of the most in-form and best-playing teams in LaLiga, along with Barça. As for the Clásico, there will be time to discuss that later, but I do want to say how fortunate we are to have Javier Tebas as president of LaLiga, who has the experience required for these matters,” he said, per Mundo Deportivo.

“He also has sound judgment in combating these attacks that Real Madrid is launching against LaLiga. It seems they want to destroy everything, they want to destroy LaLiga, they want to destroy the Technical Committee of Referees. They aren’t happy with the Federation either; they aren’t happy with anything.

”It’s a good thing the president of LaLiga is aware of this and has already been through a thousand battles; in this sense, he has the experience to combat these attacks, which are unbecoming of a club that is a member of LaLiga, because they have a position or attitude of constantly attacking everything that is done.”
