The League was forced this Friday evening to give explanations on the controversial recording of Daniel Olmo thanks to the injury Christensen. And not because of the will of the employers’ organization itself, but because of the questions of journalists about a measure that has left doubt in many clubs of the League. In fact, it was his Ancelotti the one who said in a press conference that we should ask the League about this case.
and it was Javier Gomez, General Director of La Liga, who explained, not without much clairvoyance, the reasons that led the employers’ association to accept the registration of Dani Olmo thanks to Christensen’s injury. An injury that, let us remember, was initially supposed to last a month, but which, mysteriously, lasted four months. And all this so that the former RB Leipzig could be registered before the market closes.
To explain the case of the injury of Dani Olmo, Gomez He compares this to the norm that existed in the past: “On the question of injuries, we start from the principle that if a player is injured, the club must be able to replace him. What happens? Until three years ago, in the event of a long-term injury, the injured player could be deregistered. Why? Because when he was released again, he could register at any time during the season without being in the summer or winter periods. If a guy was injured in July and recovered in November, he was deregistered and then reregistered in November. “It didn’t affect their ability to work.”
“But we had to find another system to treat injuries. What system was sought? If a player is injured, you can bring another for 80% of the cost and the only thing that was added is: if you don’t have Fair Play, he is loaned to you. Because a player has been injured and you can bring another. If you can’t rebalance it throughout the season, On July 1st of the following season you will be removed from registration capacity and hire players for the next season. But it’s the same treatment as when a player is fired and the same treatment as when a boy runs a club, wants to renew it, He has no Fair Play and he is credited with Fair Play.”he adds.
Registration of Dani Olmo
“As a result of this treatment that is already applied to all clubs, the 23/24 season has been applied to 8 clubs and 12 players, exactly the same, could it be that tomorrow Christensen recovers and plays with Barcelona?” From a federation point of view yes, and Araujo too. And all those who have been injured too, that could be the case.”
“If you look at the statistics, all those who were injured in the 23/24 season, you can see who was injured and returned to play before four months. Well, maybe someone played after three months and three weeks. The important thing is to treat everyone the same. The rule can be good, bad, regular, you can say what you want about it, the important thing is that this treatment is equal for all clubs,” he continues. But the general director of La Liga clarifies: “Dani Olmo is registered until December 31. If Barcelona fails to generate registration capacity, it will not be registered on January 1.
