On Friday, whilst speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of Barcelona’s trip to Alaves, Xavi Hernandez echoed the sentiments of club president Joan Laporta that La Liga is “adulterated” – the remarks were in response to the controversies of Real Madrid’s 3-2 victory over Almeria the previous weekend.
Xavi’s (and Laporta’s) remarks angered many, especially those to do with Real Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti aimed a thinly-veiled dig at the pair in his own press conference, although he refused to outright address the comments.
As per La SER (via Diario AS), Xavi will not be punishment by the Spanish Football Federation’s Competition Committee over the matter. The report explains that only serious and direct accusations against the honour of a specific referee are sanctioned, and because the 44-year-old referred to the competition as a whole, he won’t be punishment by the Federation.
It means that Xavi will be in the dugout for Barcelona’s upcoming set of fixtures in La Liga, which they hope to use to close the gap on Real Madrid and Girona ahead of them in the table.
Cry baby coach, cry baby organization, cry baby fans.
The worst part is he was a big part of aduIteration himself, during their love affair with referees. I take it that ignorance is a bliss to some people.
How sure are u about that, are u part of the investigation committee,, they are not confirmed guilty of any offence yet ‘Mr Judge’
How many fans do u know and u are not in their shoes, there money, time & love for d club, it is there way of expressing their love and showing their concern.
Stop being Judgemental.
magneto can’t magnet some some common sense
You can say that again and again
Cry babies
The biggest frauds and cheaters of football world simply cannot point finger at others.
The fact that he avoid punishment contradicts his statement, no?
On the other hand, looking back at Champions games vs. Inter and red cards out of nowhere I am pretty sure there was a deal somewhere with judges.
Therefore, it wouldn’t surprise me if they had some domestical judge deals as well.
Negreira, Xavi!!!?
How much did that “aduIterate” League?
Always a giggle when adulterers start to moralize on aduIteration.
