Fewer days, more emotions, with some games on a neutral field, possibly even abroad, in distant locations such as Miami: these are the ideas with which the president of the Spanish football federation, Luis Rubiales, intends to propose to change the format of the La Liga.
"In the next few days I will invite Javier Tebas (the president of La Liga, ed) to sit down and try to change the current format of the championship" announced Rubiales, host of the 'sports breakfast' of the Europa Press agency, underlining that " sports "must realize" how today's young people are born with videogame consoles and no longer play in the streets as we used to do. La Liga has chosen immobility.
We will propose a change that allows, for example, to have games on neutral ground, fewer matches and a more exciting competition that generates more revenues. "
According to Rubiales, a match could be studied in Miami, with the two teams playing there and back, both at home and away. "We have changed many competitions, such as the King's Cup, the Spanish Super Cup, the Primera Division - he added -: it was necessary and essential to provide the public with a pleasant television product and improve the calendar".
