The president who will analyze, among other issues, the composition of the squad of the 21-22, the departure of Messi and his aspirations for the present campaign.
Situation
“I have not regretted being president. We want to rescue Bara from the situation and hoping that this continues well. He is in the UCI, but improving, there is data that indicates this.”
Messi
“What happened is what has been explained. They are objective data. Everyone can contrast it. We were pressured that either we sign the CVC credit or there is no fair play. There was no margin. There was a preliminary agreement and we had agreed. hands. There were several agreements and LaLiga seemed to accept it, but then they said no without the CVC. We didn’t see that it was going to improve and we put an end to the situation. “
Personal relationship with Messi
“I think we were both bad because the situation was not what we wanted. I have not spoken with Messi again. I have seen his debut with PSG and it was strange to see him in another team, a rival … I did not like seeing him with another T shirt”.
Fired
“We’ll see if he has another one, we shouldn’t rule out anything. We will always be grateful to him. He will always be from Bara.”
Bara numbers
“The reduction is important, we have gone from a wage bill of 110 to 80 percent. I want to congratulate the executives and the financial department of Bara for their work, and all those who have worked tirelessly and extraordinarily. And we have some heroes that are Piqu, Alba, Busquets and we will finish off Sergi Roberto. What they have done is admirable. They are committed to the club, to the members. It is admirable. And we will continue with other players, such as Umtiti and others from the first team. a process that is not easy. First the captains have set an example, and now we will continue with others. With the sections we will not do anything, only some players who had a high salary will be redirected. But only in basketball. “
Messi
“Without Griezmann and with the reduction of the captains, Messi would not have been able to stay either. But it is important to have lowered the wage bill because next year we can be more ambitious.”
Koeman
“I like Koeman. We won the match against Getafe, they are not easy games. It cost us more than other games, their approach to us. But it has merit, with the injuries that there were … I spoke with Koeman, but he has my support, trust and respect, like all the coaches. Johan’s model is non-negotiable, and Koeman’s cruyffism is undeniable, but each one adapts it in their own way. “
Riqui Puig
“I have never manifested more prominence for Riqui in public. It is not a challenge to Koeman. We talk about football. I know that the culs like them, the talent, the virtuous players … and I would not like to lose them.”
Luuk de Jong
“He’s Dutch. Even Johan had solutions that are out of his model or philosophy. And Pep too. A player like that can help you in some moments. Fix the defenders, press … I remember the time of the Dream Team with Julio Salinas …. “.
Griezmann
“I have never seen him criticize. He is a great player. He does not fit into our system, but he has always had a great attitude. In football, he was not the player we needed. He could have given more. He must play 50 percent of the game. parties in which it is available, is the only clause in the purchase obligation. “
Koeman Renovation
“We have not set a date to close it. Let’s talk. The message is that the coach must be strong, and must renew with some clauses that we all like. This gives strength and confidence to the coach.”
Piqu surf
“He knows himself well, he says he’s fine. And we want him in top shape all season. We don’t want him to force himself. No sanction is foreseen, he has shown his Barça and professionalism.”
Piqu
“He can be a good president in the future, he has all the qualities to be one.”
Super league
“The project is alive. In the courts we have won everything. UEFA cannot prevent it. And, in addition, the pressure on English clubs, who are the ones who have promoted it, have been without effect.”
Florentine
“We are club presidents who are eternal rivals, but if there are coincidences we are there.”
Thebes
“Florentino and he are very opposed. He does the job that he thinks best for the majority of clubs. But we understand that what Bara and Real Madrid contribute should be considered. I recognize that he is a defender of fair play, and is on a crusade with him. PSG, who has skipped all of them. He is a good professional, and has had national and international recognition. He has been closed and obsessed with the Super League. “
Neymar
“We tried to sign Neymar. Because at the time it seemed interesting to sign him. He got in touch. He wanted to come. We interpreted fair play differently, if we had known, we would not have made this offer.”
Ansu Fati
“We have not put Ansu Fati up for sale. They told us there was an offer of 100 million from an English club, but we neither received it nor put it up for sale. He has accepted number 10 because if we don’t run out of a chip, but he accepted it if the captains let him. It says a lot about him. “
Collado
“He is an extraordinary boy with magic and talent, like Riqui. We gave him to Brujas, because we understand that it is not his time yet, and when it was going to be done, Brujas wanted a mandatory purchase option, and he said no because he wanted to succeed. in Bara. Now we are trying to get him to have a first team or subsidiary number and he can go up. We would not want him to just train. The Russian and Turkish markets have not yet closed. “
Due diligence
“There are errors, irregularities, allegedly criminal actions … We are conducting internal reviews to see if responsibilities have to be clarified.”
