“Rubi, do you think that getting closer to the King… can help… that he has a very good relationship with the people there, with the kings or whoever is from the Saudis? Because we can get in easy. I think it’s… I guess you can come in too… But I think the King here could help us for sure. The Emeritus, eh! And Rubi (Rubiales) prudently answers Geri (Piqué) that it is not right for the Federation to address the Emeritus, bypassing the Government. “It will take its toll on us.” We found out yesterday. That plus the attempt to surround David Aganzo so that, after a video in which Messi gave him coba, the AFE would approve the new dates hammered into the calendar.
So the captain of Barça, a club wielded by so many pro-independence supporters as the banner of their cause, went to the exiled Bourbon to request services as a getter (via Susanna Griso we learned that the Emeritus refused the meeting proposal). Piqué (Geri) and Rubiales (Rubi) defend that everything is legal. What if. But is it decent? Someday I read that “a gentleman is the person who does not do certain things even when the Law, the Church and the majority approve or allow them”. This handling of everything and everyone (the Federation Ethics Committee, dissolved since then, AFE, Valencia, Atlético, the Saudi-Qatar rivalry) leaves too much of a rotten smell.
And there remains an ember, which Simeone took care of shaking yesterday. The suspicion is aroused that the business is built on the idea that neither Madrid nor Barça are ever missing. Just this year none of them is in the Cup final. Madrid has LaLiga, Barça fights side by side for second place with Atlético and Sevilla plus Betis pressing from behind. The referees, stuck in the well of confusion that the new rules have created for them, the VAR and Medina Cantalejo, which has made everything worse, only need the idea that the end of LaLiga will be “dangerously prepared” to prosper. for Barça to be second. But that can’t be helped anymore.
