FOOTAGE OF EFE'S INTERVIEW WITH JAVIER TEBAS. SOUNDBITES OF TEBAS.Translation:1-We would like a Thai player. Thailand is a place where we have pay-per-view and freeview broadcasts, and a big following, bigger than we could imagine, a good player from Thailand would be interesting for LaLiga.2-The discussion about whether Uefa acts from a position of monopoly or not... Without going into detail, there are aspects of UEFA I criticise, of the European institutions that need to improve and I can agree with them in that, that matters of governance need to improve, but not that there is a monopoly. The ones I think have a monopoly are the clubs that announced the Super League because they have a very important structure in the European industry.
