00:30“Here the only illegal thing is that some private audios have been taken and have been leaked to the press, that you do not have to be very smart to know who is behind it. It is news that came out in 2019. Look at the newspaper library. And it was not news And now in 2022 these audios are leaked and now it’s news.”
00:29“El Confidencial called me a week ago and told me that this will come out. And that it will come out for three days and I told them that I don’t care, let whatever I want come out. I don’t have to hide from anything.”
00:28“I know how to separate what is a commercial agreement from what I have done all my life, which is to play football. I have never received any help. If you tell me that a sane commercial agreement will affect the competition, you have no idea who am I. It’s throwing shit for throwing shit.”
00:27ABOUT THE CONFLICT
“In these three years you can see if there has been any affectation or if they have helped us win when Atlético de Madrid or Real Madrid have won”.
00:25ABOUT THE CONFLICT OF INTERESTS
“I bring an opportunity for the RFEF. Before changing the format they took 120,000 euros for the competition, after the move they took 40 million.”
00:24ON WHETHER IT IS ETHICAL AND MORAL TO NEGOTIATE AS AN ACTIVE FOOTBALL PLAYER
“What is the conflict of interest?” asks Piqué. “Regarding the caches, it is an audio taken out of context in which it is a decision of the Federation, I simply help the president to find a formula that makes sense. It is an audio taken out of context when the references had been marked by the president” .
00:22ABOUT THE COMMISSION
“In the world that we move in, it is relatively normal. It moves between 10 and 15% and we believed that it was in line with what agencies charge for carrying out this type of management. The commission is in line with the market.”
00:22ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP WITH RUBIALES AND HOW IT STARTED
“We have very good connections in the Middle East and the people of Saudi Arabia told us that they wanted to bring football competitions to their country. Seeing the panorama, we decided to speak with Mr. Rubiales to see if they might be interested in moving the Super Cup outside of Spain. We from Kosmos also proposed changing the format. Looking at it with perspective, it has been a success and people are super hooked. I remember a Super Cup in Tangier that is far from what it is now. By accepting this change of format, the RFEF signed us a format for look for different options outside. We also talked with Sony to take it to Miamo. They talked with other options. After evaluating it a lot and talking to everyone, they decided to go to Saudi Arabia.”
00:18The press conference is back live.
00:09It seems that the technical problems continue, so they are going to stop to solve them and Piqué will immediately continue speaking.
00:07“I thought I would see them here on the screen because I know some of them,” says Piqué while some audio problems are solved.
00:05“All the journalists are going to ask me questions. Those who want me the most and those who don’t.”
00:04“We are here to talk about the topic that has occupied the front pages in the last few hours about the Super Cup audios. I have summoned journalists from all the media, all those who have wanted to come are here, I do not have to hide anything, everything that What we have done is legal, we will talk about it calmly, related to the conflict of interest I will expose my part. It is not that I hide, it is that I feel proud, we have done a spectacular job”.
