Journalist Carlos Herrera has explained the rules he will follow as president of the RFEF
Carlos Herrera surprised many people with his candidacy as President of the RFEF. The truth is that the COPE journalist is very serious and has explained some of his actions if elected into office.. Among all of them, some have surprised, others completely different from what we currently know in Spanish football.
They all aim to modernize our football and create a competition that is much closer to the end consumer. Carlos Herrera’s strongest move is to return the national Super Cup to Spain. Recently, Rubiales and Piqué managed to transfer this competition to Saudi Arabia with the aim of achieving greater economic benefits. While this goal was achieved, it was a rule that was heavily criticized for requiring footballers to travel so much in the middle of the season..
Carlos Herrera will change the schedules when he is president of the RFEF
Another topic that Carlos Herrera highlighted is the fixture list. Some cup duels that end in extra time usually end around 12 p.m. An hour in which many families are already resting. Consequently, viewership is reduced due to the nightly programming. The journalist’s suggestion is to bring forward the meetings which, if extended, will not end before 11 p.m.
VAR is one of the most controversial topics in our football. No matter what happens in any game, the VAR decision is always more important than the events that happened during the game. Therefore, to correct this mistake, Herrera decides to have former footballers and former referees in the room when making decisions. Disputed claims must be analyzed by experts who have experienced these arbitration decisions many times.
The 2030 World Cup begins and ends in Spain
As we know, different countries will be represented at the 2030 World Cup. Although everything indicates that the final will take place at the Santiago Bernabéu, it will begin outside our borders. For this reason, Herrera considers it essential that the competition begins and ends in Spain, since the main venues where the game will be played are Spain such as Madrid or Barcelona..
The 2030 World Cup is a historic event for our country and Spain’s presence in the key moments of the competition is non-negotiable. The opening of the World Cup will take place on national territory. Barcelona will probably appreciate it as Madrid will be the venue for the grand final. Barcelona also wanted to host the final, but the idea is for both cities to star at the start and final of the championship.
