“Florentino Perez helps Barca” | Relief
During one of the most delicate moments for the club, both institutionally and sportingly. Victor Font, former presidential candidate of FC Barcelona, approached the microphones of the program “El Mon a Rac-1”, owned by the Godó Group, for an in-depth analysis of the current situation of the culé team. Yesterday, Font published a statement online in which he invited participants to re-found the club. This morning it expanded. “The world has changed and the way management has worked before, now it’s time to turn the page. We need to make the club professional and not run it like in the 80s.. “This would allow us to protect the ownership model and be able to compete with teams like Madrid.
In a few days it will be three years since that election. Font was very critical of Joan LaPorta’s work.. “Over the past three years, we have suffered 1 billion losses.. We are worried and angry because the diagnosis is not explained to us clearly and realistically. Reality is not explained to us. The salary fund was cut in the third season after the start of the reign. The viability plan appeared on the scene two years after taking office. This can’t be true. We all saw this during the elections. The train, moving at a speed of 200 km/h, has already crashed.“.
For font It’s important to give the club model a twist. without becoming a joint stock company in order to revive the institution. “I believe that there is no self-criticism here and the enemy is sought outside.. If we talk about referees, then Madrid… surely many Barcelona fans are watching you, but you have to do things well from within and not have fireman’s ideas like your own brand.. These are the things that I don’t understand and can’t explain to myself. It takes talent and skills. Important people left and were replaced by friends and family.“.
The ex-candidate for president of the club recalled that there can be no question of a vote of no confidenceand discovered that YesIf there were elections tomorrow, he would introduce himself again. Except, Font is convinced that Laporta will run in the next elections.
“Florentino helps Barca”
Victor Font also spoke about Real Madrid and its president. “We all know about sociological Madridismo. What doesn’t make sense is that when we have to choose between Messi and Florentino, we choose the President of Madrid.. Anas Lagrari, Florentino’s confidant, advises Barça. Florentino helps Barca“.
Regarding Mbappe’s departure from Paris and the possibility of a move to Real Madrid, Font commented as follows:Madrid have an advantage over us thanks to Mbappe and the stadium.. Once the stadium is completed they will bring in an additional 120-150 million which they can use to invest in players like Mbappe. Madrid is a great example of how a well-run club can be competitive.. Judging by the numbers, we will have to sell assets like De Jong or Araujo.”
Xavi, Guardiola… and Leo Messi
The bet on Victor Font’s candidacy for the bench was placed on Xavi Hernandez. “Disappointment with the results is shared, and we didn’t expect it.. I also think that, despite the good composition Sometimes a triumphant story happens that makes us think we have a better team than we actually do.. But results are a consequence of how you run the club. We all hoped that Javi would have done a better job, but We will never know how things would have turned out if Mateu (Alemany) and Jordi (Cruyff) had continued to play. “If the priority signings had gone through, we wouldn’t have known where we would be.”
Font makes it clear that he would prefer Egarense to continue. “I wouldn’t fire Javi. I’m all for stability because it’s a crazy world. An important requirement for stability to turn into success is the presence of a professional structure.“Victor Font also spoke about the figure of Pep Guardiola.”It is unfortunate that Guardiola ended up at Manchester City. because we don’t have a model here that allows that.”
Victor Font was critical of the team’s performance, but again emphasized the importance of the model. “Yes, I see the team’s performance. But I say this: withBe careful because if we swap Xavi for Flick and don’t change anything inside the club, the chances are high that it won’t work.. Winning the League does not guarantee success. The big disappointment is that winning sometimes becomes a challenge. The 2015 treble brought problems: the problems were buried along with the successes and we entered the worst period in the club’s modern history. “You need to make a good diagnosis.”
Laporta tried unsuccessfully to bring Leo Messi back last summer. “This is a big mistake in his mandate and in the club’s modern history.. I think that was part of the decision and we don’t know the price, not just the sport price. It was important to make the transition. The last pass, the goal, economically helped us implement our strike plan. “Imagine thinking about the Barça brand with world champion Messi.”
