<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Barcelona-How-Javier-Tebas-attempted-to-stop-Lionel-Messi-from-entering-firstteamin2004-20230201-0021.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Javier Tebas</a></strong> tried to sound smart and informed the world that <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/laliga" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LaLiga</a></strong> games are moving one step closer to playing competitive matches in the United States and elsewhere soon. The experiment is said to be taking place in the 2025/26 season and the game/games will be played in the US in hopes of moving games all over the world in due time.</p>



<p><br>The idea behind the move is to copy what the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> are doing by taking games to Mexico, South America, and Europe as a way to promote their brands and bring the best Basketball and American football to the global community.<br></p>



<p>The difference between LaLiga and the NFL, MLB, and NBA is that the NFL, MLB, and NBA are the best leagues of their respective sports, and already have a following in the countries in question in which they visit. For LaLiga/soccer, it wouldn’t even be special, as the Premier League, Serie A, and Liga MX are all contemplating doing the same thing, essentially fracturing the audience and the uniqueness of it all.<br></p>



<h2>Greed, spectacle, and exposure<br></h2>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/lowes-over-the-moon-with-their-lionel-messi-partnership"></div>


<p>Greed is basically what is behind LaLiga taking league games to the US, greed to earn American dollars and drive-up revenue aborad. Even Tebas in his interview with Expansion knows what he’s doing is a stunt<strong><em>: “I don’t know when, but this time LaLiga will play official matches abroad, I think it could be in the 2025-26 season. The official match in the US will strengthen our position in the North American market, which is the second for La Liga after Spain. Other very competitive leagues are coming so we can’t always do the same thing, they would overtake us.”</em></strong><br></p>

<p>Still, if done right, and being the first out the gate, LaLiga stands to position itself well. The proposed match to bring Barcelona – Girona back in 2018 had more to do with bringing Messi, Suarez, and Pique to Miami than Barcelona, the game itself, meaningless. Girona’s chances of defeating Barcelona in Florida were as slim as playing the game at the Camp Nou or North Pole.<br></p>



<p>To make any kind of meaningful dent, playing a Spanish Derby between Real Madrid – Barcelona in the United States would gain worldwide attention. Possibly adding an extra week to the schedule to appease fans in Spain would also be prudent. Making it a kind of MLS rivalry week would also be smart, it would keep the audience in Spain invested with local derbies going on, and Barcelona – Real Madrid in the US could be a main course of said week. Also by adding the extra week, no one feels left out in the long run.<br></p>

<p>If LaLiga bring Real Madrid – Celta, all their selling is a traveling circus looking to cash in on the American market.<br></p>



<p>For the right exposure, LaLiga needs to think about the right product and their only true global product is Barcelona vs Real Madrid, anything less could lose out to all the other major sports if a big game of those sports is played that same weekend.<br></p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/rafa-marquez-back-on-to-take-over-barcelona"></div>


<p>For LaLiga coming to the US is either about going big or going home, Real Madrid – Barcelona could get national attention, bringing Real Madrid to play Almeria is as meaningless as having the Mets play the Orioles in Boston.</p>

<p>At the Olé Sports Summit at Usina del Arte in Buenos Aires, Argentina, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/la-liga" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LaLiga</a> president <strong>Javier Tebas</strong> spoke about an array of issues, ranging from his league’s presentation, AI use via a video game sponsor, and of course <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Lionel Messi</strong> </a>leaving <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Barcelona</a>.</p>



<p>At the summit, Tebas stated that, <em>“Messi did not finish his career in La Liga because Leo and FC Barcelona did not agree. I wish he could have stayed and finished his sporting career in Spain. It would have been the best for him, for me and for Barcelona”.</em></p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230827#BUS#53251"></div>


<p>The loss of Messi and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cristiano Ronaldo</a> in LaLiga may not have a long-term effect on the league, but it certainly is a key element that is missing when considering LaLiga was the place to watch the two best players in the world playing for the league’s two best clubs.</p>



<h2>Tebas on Luis Rubiales</h2>



<p>When it comes to Luis Rubiales, the LaLiga president held his ground, <em>“At the level of Spanish football it has the greatest impact at the institutional level, at the country level, too. There are more than 130,000 digital news articles about Rubiales and all in the same line, and there has never been an impact of such a level.</em></p>



<p><em>“That indicates that the issue is very serious, beyond sexual harassment or not, it is inconceivable, unpresentable that a boss can ask an employee, grabbing her by the head, ‘give me a kiss’…”</em></p>



<p><strong><em>“Mr. Rubiales has to know that he cannot grab a player like a sack of potatoes. He has to know that he cannot grab the Queen by the shoulder, and he also touched his genitals in a press box, it points to a behavior of how he understands life towards women that comes from many years ago. I wasn’t surprised.”</em></strong></p>



<h2>Tebas on LaLiga attendance and video games</h2>



<p>When asked about the presentation of LaLiga, Tebas suggested that presentation is everything and that teams that struggle with attendance or filling their respective stadiums should try and group the home supporters together to give the feeling of a more filled stadium, especially for television broadcasts.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230829#BUS#53934"></div>


<p>Another aspect that Tebas would like to incorporate with LaLiga comes from video games, in which through the use of AI technology a Esports player watching a LaLiga match live can create a play as the game is progressing rather than just watch it as it unfolds.</p>


Javier Tebas on what would have been ‘best’ for Lionel Messi’s career

Javier Tebas on what would have been ‘best’ for Lionel Messi’s career - Bolavip US


<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/la-liga" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Spanish La Liga</a></strong> is unlikely to adopt <strong>goal-line technology</strong> any time soon, making it the only one among Europe’s top leagues. This is a bitter pill for the league to take as the 2022-23 season winds down and the next one approaches.</p>



<p>The technology is used in the top five European leagues with the exception of the Spanish top division. What makes this so significant is not simply that they have possessed it for a while, but that it hasn’t been <strong>put into action until recently</strong>. </p>



<p>In 2009, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/premier-league" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">English Premier League</a> was the first in the world to implement the change, and six years later, the German, French, Italian, and Dutch leagues had all done the same. The system detects if the ball has passed the goal line using a network of cameras placed around the goal, and alerts the referee through a wristwatch computer if it has. </p>



<h2>Why does La Liga president Javier Tebas not want to implement the goal-line technology?</h2>



<p>Many recent incidents have embroiled the president of La Liga, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Barcelona-How-Javier-Tebas-attempted-to-stop-Lionel-Messi-from-entering-firstteamin2004-20230201-0021.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Javier Tebas</a></strong> in controversy. He has been scrutinized for his remarks and his <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/fifa-issues-statement-on-racist-chants-from-valencia-fans-to-vinicius-jr-20230522-BUS-3076.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">handling of the Vinicius</a> problem. And now the supporters are turning against the 60-year-old because of his choice over the use of the aforementioned technology.</p>



<p>Importantly, Javier Tebas has determined that starting with the next La Liga season, goal-line technology will not be employed. The explanation he offered for his risky move was met with criticism from supporters.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230523#BUS#3368"></div>


<p>Goal-line technology is reportedly something Javier Tebas doesn’t want to employ since it <strong>costs €3 million</strong>, as per Spanish outlet <em>El Larguero.</em> The La Liga boss is reportedly against spending too much on technology because he thinks it is unnecessary.</p>

Unbelievable decision: La Liga to scrap goal-line technology next season due to ridiculous reason

For nine years the two best players in the world graced his league week in and week out while millions across the world watched.</p>
<p>Now it may not be a competition rather a collaboration between the two next big stars in world soccer. Tebas knows that if Real Madrid can pull off the signings of <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mbappe-gives-psg-dramatic-1-0-win-over-real-madrid-funniest-memes-and-reactions-from-ucl-20220215-0027.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kylian Mbappe</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/borussia-dortmund-agree-deal-for-erling-haalands-replacement-20220212-0032.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Erling Haaland</a>,</strong> LaLiga’s profile will increase after the loss of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and the financial crisis of Barcelona.</p>
<p>While Tebas does not have any inside information or sources, it’s a no brainer that the arrival of two of the biggest stars in world soccer can only help Spanish soccer.</p>

<p><em><strong>“Madrid will get Mbappe and [Erling] Haaland as the others [Barcelona and Juventus] are half [financially] ruined,”</strong></em> Tebas stated, <em>“That Mbappe comes is great news for LaLiga. It would be a joy for LaLiga. It’s the best thing that could happen to LaLiga.”</em></p>
<p><em>“I have no information regarding Mbappe… But I’ve seen few cases of players who have six months left on their contracts that have not renewed their contracts and then went on to continue at the club.” </em>Mbappe will most likely sign with Real Madrid on a free transfer, as early as March, but Haaland would command a strong transfer fee, but Real Madrid may have competition from Manchester City.</p>
