00:00The most important point in the world of football is the of the players, I have no doubt.

00:05The protests are positive because it's something that many players feel.

00:14I can understand the players that they are not happy.

00:20I've never seen a president of a league in any sport talk like this.

00:27I think it's hidden and changing why we are protesting.

00:33It's censoring, it's manipulating.

00:35And that's serious.

00:37The capitalists have made me aware of the measures that they have taken.

00:41It's a way to claim information.

00:44And I respect it.

00:46For me, they are the ones that make this all go forward.

00:52The president of the FIFA, the UEFA, no other players.

00:56I respect it and follow the decisions they take.

01:03We are against the game because we think that it altera the competition.

01:08There was no unanimity of all the participants in the competition

01:11to play the game neutral.

01:14The truth is that I don't think about it because until I see it, I don't think about it.

01:19I am a person who is open to all that is to innovate, to all that is to improve,

01:25always taking into account the players, the players, the professionals and especially the fans.

01:32But at the end it's La Liga.

01:34La Liga they decide to make this match and we have to play.

01:38So it's like that.

01:39Because we know the situation and we respect it.

01:45We respect it.

01:46El ha opinado de lo que dice él y ha dado su opinión.

01:51Y yo no soy quien para opinar de lo que él dice.

01:55Nosotros aceptamos totalmente esta situación.
