Santi Cazorla, the experienced player from Real Oviedo, 41 years old, did not hold back in his criticism of the organization of Spanish football, led by Javier Tebas, following the suspension of his team's match against Rayo Vallecano in Vallecas. This occurred due to the poor condition of the pitch, caused by bad weather, but at a time when his team was already in Madrid to play the game. Through social media, the Spanish international was blunt in his analysis, comparing the two top leagues where he has played. 'The reality is that La Liga is light years away from the Premier League in every way,' wrote Cazorla. The controversy erupted after Real Oviedo formally requested the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) to award them the victory in the match, just hours before their player's statement. In an official statement, the Asturian club assured that it will defend its interests on all fronts. 'Real Oviedo will appeal to all official and disciplinary bodies of the RFEF and, if necessary, to administrative and judicial instances, to defend its rights and the legitimate interests of its fans,' the official note reads. The Oviedo emblem also added that this measure does not invalidate 'the possibility of pursuing legal actions and filing complaints against those responsible for the mess generated by La Liga's actions, the inaction of the Federation, and the behavior of Rayo Vallecano,' ensuring that the rules were not followed.
