Both clubs have given their approval to the possibility of playing that match in the United States, although they still have to advance their course and be authorized by the Royal Spanish Football Federation.
"On the part of Atlético I think they have not (have put any fault to play the game in Miami), on the part of Villarreal either. We must continue walking and there is a consensus. I would like to do it, but all agree. All countercurrent is not Well, and if this is good for Spanish football, it's good for everyone. "
Regarding the Villarreal fans, he has said that different options are studied and he has considered that "they will be fine".
In any case, the president of the Castellón club pointed out in 'El Transistor' that it is too early to advance anything. "We can't explain anything because there really isn't anything yet," said Roig, who insisted: "Hopefully it's done."
