Javier Tebas has added fuel to the controversial fire that has set fire to the Spanish Professional Football League (LFP) awards. The LFP president believes that the idea of making the voting public is not a good one. "I'm not going to bring out a thing that the players....when you talk with the captains, it shouldn't go public. Because I think that the people must vote freely. If it were published, they'd say: 'This is a friend of mine, I'm with him in the national team, I see him in the other one, this one is a right...", I'm sure of it".

Tebas went even further and announced that he had an opinion regarding the results of the LFP that would raise more than a few eyebrows. "This is just my opinion. If the voting were open, Cristiano Ronaldo wouldn't win", he declared. Tebas' comments have come as a result of Enrique Cerezo and Diego Godín's complaints about the awards, reflecting the general bad feeling among the Atlético players for the almost non-existent recognition that they have enjoyed despite having won the league last season.
