So much fighting, bureaucracy, challenges, noise and delay of the electoral process and in the end we will have to see if a vote takes place in the next elections to the Royal Spanish Football Federation. At this time, and with the elections already called with a specific date (May 6) to elect the president to replace Luis Rubiales and finish the 2020-2024 mandate, only Pedro Rocha appears as a clear alternative and, above all, with serious options for victory. And he has not yet officially presented his candidacy, something he is expected to do in the next few hours once the period of five calendar days starts today and extends until next Thursday. The rest will have enough to be able to present themselves.

The former president of the Management Commission, who formally resigned last Wednesday from his position in order to be able to present a project that had been simmering for months and already with a political advisor at his side, He is the favorite since the Sports Administrative Court (TAD) has not yet stopped him nor, for the moment, has FIFA decided to intervene in the middle of a serious institutional crisis that keeps the RFEF with Rafa del Amo as interim and boss, beheaded in many management positions and in the news.

The other pre-candidates, no matter how much some of them have appeared on various covers and are shooting grandiose headlines, are going to have to sweat a lot to show up at the finish line. Only Eva Parera and Carlos Herrera seem convinced of being able to put up a fight. The first, with a unitary opposition candidacy. And the second with the attempt to transfer the citizen credibility that has always been shown on the airwaves to offices that have been sealed. Both see themselves capable of achieving at least 21 of the necessary guarantees (15%, by letter and with their photocopy of the DNI), but everything indicates that not even that heroism – which remains to be seen if it is consummated – would allow them to finally dispute The presidency. At most, to train and be better positioned for the next full elections in October (for the Assembly and the presidency) to cover the 2024-2028 mandate.

Eva Parera (Barcelona, ​​1974) has been traveling between Barcelona and Madrid for several months, always accompanied by her father (Anton Parera), historic manager of Barça in the time of José Luis Núñez, to meet with the entire football world. And in a recent conversation with Relevo she looks radiant, as she announces “some final surprise” in her goal that “Rocha is not alone and that no one hides in this regeneration.” Her environment assures that she is more than prepared, since she is a lawyer, was a PP deputy in Catalonia and a councilor for Barcelona City Council. He manages the scene well and states that he has taken advantage of his contacts to meet with the Government and LaLiga, have several conversations with David Jiménez (ProLiga), some meetings with David Aganzo (AFE), eat with Salvador Gomar (federation of the Valencian territorial) and even analyze the state of the matter with Miguel Ángel Galán (CENAFE) in his desire to establish a specific alliance for this electoral process.

And although they are all good words from their listeners about their intentions (“do an internal audit as soon as they arrive”) and the different leaders have listened to their plans carefully at some point (Mutuality, more female presence, transparency in governance… .), Few give him real chances that they will be reflected in a program this month and that his adventure will come to fruition. In fact, some of those sources touched (and consulted) point out that their confrontations have been simple informal meetings, that they have not heard anything from her for a month in some cases – and by a brief text message -, and that they cannot tell her. guarantee the endorsements of the assembly members, over whom they have a little more influence and to whom Parera herself recently wrote by email asking for their support, for two reasons: because each one is free in democracy and because the current Assembly, which He elevated Rubiales, she is already very conditioned and it is not the same as trying to convince and persuade a new person as will happen after the summer. Parera is a qualified woman and many see her as a solution, but not now. In fact, they see her better within a team with another leader better connected to the territorial teams. Something else would be in the future.

The audience is not the Assembly

Carlos Herrera, According to the people who have dealt with him in recent months, he also has very good intentions. But they recognize that he doesn’t really know where he is – in such a controlled and closed circle – and even that those around him, with the best of intentions, have him somewhat confused because here it is not the citizens or his wide audience who vote, but rather 140 football fans (mostly gentlemen) who already have things quite clear and the remote-controlled ballot. Miguel Galán, without going any further, was that blunt In a recent interview on Relevo: “They call me and ask about their environment, but they are in trouble and need good advisors to get into this.” Even so, the fact that Rayo and Getafe publicly support her is giving her a lot of encouragement.

In all this time of pre-campaign, in which almost no one has spoken out so as not to wear out, Carlos Herrera has referred to his candidacy on several occasions in his morning program on Cope and, despite rejecting some other proposals to speak out, he has granted two interviews to Marca, one of the most important media in Spain where one of his collaborators in this exciting adventure, Roberto Gómez, works. And in these interventions, in addition to presenting a very coherent program, he has already revealed that he has the 21 supports necessary to present himself in the absence of their signature, which is not anything. A sentence that, given its credibility, there would be no reason to question. Another thing, according to the opinion of many ‘surveyed’ assembly members, is when he assures that if he presides over the RFEF he has no plans to abandon the radio, or that at his own station they still do not believe in a bet that they see as a fun game or a toast to the sun. .

Gomar upset and Rocha does his thing

Salvador Gomar, who was the territorial president who was most excited about running for election, decided a few days ago to wait and not get burned. Two votes ended up making him angry and chilling him. One, in mid-September, when in a Commission of Presidents up to 13 territorial members voted in favor of not holding the elections for the presidency (as indicated in the statutes) and buying the postulates of Tomás González Cueto to go to ordinary elections directly. And the second, a month ago, when it was asked to vote in a Delegated Commission against the change of course given by the RFEF, to challenge the agreements and even ask for the intervention of the Government, and then the professional clubs (which depend on LaLiga) abstained. . There he saw how one thing was what some told him in private (“go ahead”) and another was how they spent it. Rocha’s maneuvers from the Gestora ended up frustrating him, so he preferred to watch the bulls from the bullring.

Rocha’s roadmap, which can only be blurred by the courts, the highest world organizations or some new chapter in the summary of the last federal piece investigated, has ended up frustrating his opposition. The man from Extremadura, who by the way told Eva Parera months ago “we’ll talk” and never got back to her, has ended up weakening almost everyone who wants to occupy his chair with his firm decision to continue at the helm. from an RFEF that he inherited through the work and thanks of Rubiales. To the point that the side in which Miguel Galán, Gerardo González, Javier Lozano and even David Jiménez share concerns, no one has spoken out in recent days since they do not seem convinced at this point to take the step.

One piece of evidence that has completely unraveled this combative electoral sector is the silence of Javier Tebas and the lack of belligerence of the professional clubs when it comes to criticizing the excessive activity of the Management Commission. His aspirations or miracles are already directly put into other remote possibilities. Of the Mateu Lahoz, Emilio Garcia Silvero or Mateu Alemany, therefore, We don’t even talk anymore…

The fact that the assembly members can only endorse one candidate and not several, as before, has ended up disconcerting and disconnecting the staff. All pre-candidates, whether they openly acknowledge it or not, know that Rocha will try to bring together the majority of endorsements so as not to leave room for the rest. Taking into account, as Galán denounced, that almost 40 of the 139 current assembly members (not 140 because there is no president) have been able to lose their status during this last term, and that experts assure that between 10 or 20 more never go to the Assemblies and they don’t even pick up the phone, there are just over 80 left to call. And if Rocha is able to collect 60, something that is perfectly within his reach, all this will be over in a week and there will be no need to even wait until May 6. But in this movie anything is possible. So we will have to respect each person’s ideas and intentions, no matter how strange they may sound, and, above all, the times. Anything can happen here…

That is why David Aganzo (president of AFE) is no longer ruled out. despite the fact that he has repeated since September, actively and passively, that his place was in the union and in FIFPRO. Now, with Rocha standing, he does not want to run no matter how much they encourage him from all corners due to his good relations with FIFA, UEFA, LaLiga and now even with the COE. But if a surprise happens, and more calmly in October… The opposition only looks really strong with him.
