The president of RFEF opens in the incident of the Spanish Super Cup of the President of Barcelona: “He apologized in his own way”

Rafael Louzan, president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), recently talked about several issues, including the Super Cup held in Saudi Arabia, where Barcelona beat Real Madrid in the final.

Before the semifinals, where Barcelona faced Athletic Club, the club received a great boost. The Superior Sports Council (CSD) granted a precautionary measure that allowed them to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor beyond the deadline of December 31.

This decision found a generalized joy throughout the club. President Joan Laporta was seen remarkably celebrating the announcement with great enthusiasm, showing a visible gesture of emotion.

However, the controversy soon continued during the final held at the Jawhara stadium in Jeddah. Reports arose claiming that Laporta had directed inappropriate comments to certain RFEF members upon arrival at the stadium box.

Happened

Louzan confirmed this incident during the interview, clarifying that although he was not personally insulted, RFEF directors had mentioned the fact, and several journalists present had also witnessed him.

“He did not insulted me, it seems that he did to the directors of RFEF. Some journalistic witnesses attest to him, the directors also told me “, Louzan said as cited by sport.

Louzan mentioned that he initially did not know the situation, since he was in the costumes of the referees at that time, discussing matters related to the party.

When he arrived at the directors’ box, the tensions had already emerged, although he acknowledged that such moments are an integral football.

“I don’t know about kicks, I was greeting the referees in the locker room, which was very good for me. When I got to the top, there was tension, but everything is happening, this is football. ” Added.

Laporta apologized … in its own way

Regarding whether Laporta offered an apology for his behavior, Louzan explained that the president of Barcelona addressed the issue the next day during a meeting with the authorities of Saudi Arabia.

“He apologized to his way the next day we talked, we had a reception with the authorities of Saudi Arabia.”

While his answer may not have been a formal apology, he suggested that the heated reaction was driven by the passion for the game.

“In his own way, the man said that football is passion, that we had to understand it … It is football, we are going to try to bring the water to the bed of the river.”

In football, emotions are often high, and such incidents, although unfortunate, are not entirely unexpected. However, maintaining professionalism remains essential, especially in high profile events such as the Super Cup.
