Keep firing! Florentino: Tebas has tarnished La Liga and Barcelona gained far more from the red card than we did

Real Madrid Chairman Florentino attended the club's membership meeting today and delivered a speech, in which he continued to blast topics related to La Liga's overseas games, referees and Barcelona.
Lafayette: Barcelona has paid referees more than 8 million euros in 17 years, which coincides with its peak
Talk about La Liga's difficulties
Florentino: Real Madrid may be the only club in European football that has enough strength to face this battle. We have fans all over the world, as many as the European Union. We are the club with the most glorious honors and the strongest financial strength. Our strength comes from a big family united by shared values and from the historical heritage of Real Madrid. We are fearless and always adhere to all rules.
"Registration failure" never causes us any stress. But unfortunately, most clubs do not have such confidence. Too many clubs are just getting by. We all know, especially in La Liga, that life will be easier for them if they obey the president of La Liga (Tebas).
About the CVC Agreement
Florentino: Many clubs have realized that mortgaging part of their income for the next 50 years will hinder their own development. We believe this agreement will be struck down in court. Real Madrid, Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao have all taken court action.
I'm sorry to have to point out that although Barcelona initially opposed the matter, coincidentally they withdrew from the lawsuit after La Liga allowed it to register players.
Reapproval of La Liga overseas game proposal
Florentino: As far as we know, apart from Real Madrid, no other club has complained to the Supreme Sports Council on this matter. Only we have the courage. It's time for them to be held accountable. The president of La Liga is acting arbitrarily. He has tarnished the purity of La Liga and must be held accountable.
We must also talk about a disgraceful thing and see how La Liga handled the players' protests about this matter. We have all witnessed La Liga’s disgraceful censorship. I don't know what's more ridiculous than delaying the broadcast by 30 seconds, and they actually used "maintaining peace" as an excuse. What kind of peace is this?
This is simply treating the fans as fools. They've gone crazy. This type of behavior will never be tolerated in any European league and will result in the resignation of the league president.
Let’s talk about the Negrrera case again
Florentino: Real Madrid is the only club involved in this lawsuit. The four (Barcelona) presidents continued to pay huge sums of money to the vice-president of the referee committee over a period of 17 years. Fran Soto actually asked everyone to "turn the page" and let us "forget the Negrrera case." Who could forget? The reality is that most of the referees involved in the case are still refereeing today...
This situation makes it impossible for them to remain neutral. On the eve of the Copa del Rey final, the referee on duty actually threatened that the referee group would take action against our club. This is simply unbelievable! Just before the Copa del Rey final! Such a person should have been suspended immediately, but the relevant agencies took no action.
Criticize La Liga referees for law enforcement
Florentino: We must admit that red card penalties are the most subjective aspect. Let’s take a look at these data: As of 2021, Real Madrid’s net number of red cards compared to its opponents is -2, while Barcelona’s net number has reached 61. However, in the Champions League during the same period, the net number of red cards received by the two teams was almost the same (Barcelona +12, Real Madrid +13).
The data of Bayern and Dortmund are basically the same, and the strong teams in other mainstream leagues are also roughly the same.
However, during Negreira's tenure, Barcelona's net number of red cards reached +49, while Real Madrid had -1. You can judge this for yourself.
