Facing Flak Over Vinicius Jr Racism Row, Gerard Pique’s Colleague Fires Back at La Liga’s Embattled Boss Over ‘Circus’ Claims – “Ronaldinho and Andrea Pirlo Are Coming”

The amount of eyes that the Kings League has garnered from across the globe is impeccable. With a whole new format and rules, Gerard Pique backed himself to make it a success. Without a doubt, the first season of the Kings League was undeniably successful. Recently, there have been quite a few controversial comments about the unique soccer tournament.

In fact, La Liga’s President Javier Tebas has criticized Pique’s tournament. In no time, a Co-President from the league hit back at the Spanish lawyer. Simultaneously, Tebas is also facing a massive amount of heat from the soccer universe. He is currently stuck really badly in the Vinicius Jr racism saga.

Response to Tebas’ ‘circus’ comments against Gerard Pique and his league

Undoubtedly, the inaugural season of the Kings League was a major success. Gerard Pique managed to personally cash out a profit of $3 million from the ‘final four’. Interestingly, Pique got the approval of Joan Laporta and ended the league’s first season at Camp Nou. Shockingly, Camp Nou was ‘sold out’ for that day.

Even after that, there are still a few individuals who have been criticizing the tournament. Javier Tebas is one of them. But he really hasn’t got away with his comments. After calling the Kings League a circus, DjMariiO publicly replied to the La Liga President. He said, “You have to go hand in hand with this. Thebes has not had good words towards the King’s League”.

“To say that the King’s League is a circus… it’s a circus, but Ronaldinho and Andrea Pirlo are coming… we have filled the Camp Nou… so circus will not be. I have discussed this with Courtois and I am sure that he would love to be here, even as a player”, as compiled by El Des Marque and translated by Google Translate.

Along with this, Tebas also has his feet planted in the Vinicius Jr racism controversy that has turned into quicksand. Let’s dive deeper into the same.

How and why is Tebas involved in Vini Jr’s racism controversy?

Real Madrid’s clash against Valencia turned into a nightmare after Vinicius Jr shed a tear on the pitch. The opposition fans had seemingly racially abused the soccer star. But nobody imagined the ugly turn this controversy would take after the game. The Brazilian winger is now in a public feud with the President of La Liga. Recently, Tebas apologized for his words, but here’s what happened.

After the incident, La Liga claimed that they would request ‘more sanctioning powers’ to deal with incidents of racism. However, the Brazilian was not quite happy with that. He refused to show up for Tebas’ anti-racism meetings that the player requested. Unhappy by the same Tebas released a strong statement against the winger.

Vini then said, “Once again, instead of criticizing racists, the president of La Liga appears on social media to attack me”. A few days later, La Liga’s President apologized for the same and tried to clarify the misunderstanding.
