"I do not want to think in if they go to by me. It is a leak malintencionada. They filter some audios to take out of context something that already was news. What is news are the audios, that have filtered of illegal way", said the central culé, the one who besides cleared that his relation with Rubiales is entirely legal and does not exist a conflict of interest. "We proposed from Kosmos change also the format. Seeing it with perspective has been a success and the people is súper stuck. Which is the conflict of interest? (It asks the player) I simply help to the president to look for a formula that have logical", said Hammered.
Besides, the defender blaugrana ensured that it treats of an audio taken out of context and does not have at all that hide. "In the world that move us is relatively normal. It moves between a 10 and 15% (the commissions) and thought that was chord to what earn the agencies for doing a management of this type. The commission is chord to the market", explained the player of 35 years, the one who besides argued that before changing the format, the RFEF carried 120.000 euros by the competition, "After the movement carried 40 millions".
In this sense, the captain culé remembered that from 'The Confidential' already had warned him that would filter the audios. "They call me the past week and says me that it will go out this. And that will go out three days and said them that it gives me the same, that go out what want. I do not have to me hide of at all", reiterated Gerard. Besides, it emphasized that "the only illegal is to have filtered the audios to the press. It is a news that went out in 2019. Look the archive. And it was not news. And now, in 2022, they filter the conversations and now is news, emphasized the Catalan.
I hammered it leaves clear that does not have deals with the Federation
On his commercial relation with the RFEF, Hammered ensured that "it is not that have more, is that I do not have neither east. In no case we earn of the RFEF, earn of Sela (Saudi Arabia). I do not have any commercial deal with the RFEF". Besides, puntualizó that did not do at all on the quiet and that there are a lot of agreements that close and do not explain . "I am convinced that there is not a campaign against me. It surprises because I recognise that it is not usual that an active player was involved in this type of businesses, but to me likes me. I have to ask pardon by this? As I do not go it to do, from here that all the world think what want to", detailed the player of the Barcelona.
Finally, the experienced centre-back stated that "we (Kosmos) bring the opportunity to the RFEF, but they are the ones who make the decision because they are the owners of the competition. From then on my opinion does not matter because I had no decision-making power Understanding the relationship with Rubiales from my time as a player with the national team, I saw that there was the confidence to start those conversations. I don't regret it because we have done a very good job. I know what has happened, nothing has been done wrong, not morally nor legally", concluded Piqué.
