It's always necessary to look on the bright side of things. The football league will no longer have to perform acrobatics with the television signal to avoid showing the 15-second strike for tired legs of their footballers, who were protesting the decision to hold a match in Miami. Until now, they've shown us plans of the stadium using a drone, or statistics, or a laughing fan in the stands.

The captains and players of the Spanish First Division are standing up against La Liga and the match they want to take to Miami. The Spanish Footballers' Association (AFE) has announced a protest during Matchday 9, which takes place this weekend. The players will stop for 10 seconds at the start of each match. The reason they give is "a symbolic protest in protest of the lack of transparency, dialogue, and coherence" of the Spanish employers' association led by Javier Tebas. The players' union adds that they have left out the players of Villarreal and Barcelona, ​​​​the two teams that will have to play in the United States before Christmas, so as not to construe it as a "measure against any club."

Well, Barça will play a league match in Miami. If Villarreal-Barça is being played in Florida, it's basically to make money, plain and simple. Like the Super Cup in Arab lands. The amount of money the Saudis are paying is so outrageous that everyone ends up bowing their heads, because the money reaches every club. And deep down, we all have a price. After the Saudis, now it's Miami's turn.Welcome to Miami.", as Will Smith sang in a pretty bad song, but one that was catchy.

Yet another summer, Barça faced doubts and uncertainties just days before its La Liga debut. And that's four summers now. Hansi Flick was already unable to field Dani Olmo in the first two matchdays last year. A situation that is exacerbated in the offices of Aristides Maillol, but also shared by other teams in the Spanish league. Sevilla, Getafe, and Levante are some of the other clubs that have also been unable to register their new signings. "The problem, especially for Barça, is how the regulations are written," says Rubén Mancera, a lawyer at Salas Miralles & Mancera.
