There is barely a month to go before the elections to the presidency of the Barça and the three candidates are pushing in these days of campaign to become the new president of the club.
This past Saturday Joan Laporta, Victor Font Y Toni Freixa They were invited to the Esport3 ‘Gol a gol’ program and were subjected to a series of questions from the Barça members. Here are the most outstanding answers.
WILL THEY TAKE AN ACTION OF RESPONSIBILITY AGAINST BARTOMEU?
Joan Laporta: “My will is to look forward and put all my energy to reverse the situation we have, but it is true that if in the audit we find losses that are attributable to poor management, there will be no choice but to debug responsibilities” .
Víctor Font: “We have the absolute commitment to carry out an audit, a very complete ‘due diligence’. We want to know in all kinds of detail what has happened in recent years at the club ”.
Toni Freixa: “We have to defend the interests of the club and its partners and, therefore, we have the obligation to know in depth what the club’s situation is as a result of the management that has taken place previously.”
WILL KOEMAN BE THE COACH NEXT SEASON?
Joan Laporta: “What I will do is greet the club’s employees and thank them for everything they have done in this time of misrule. Of course I will greet Koeman and the players to motivate them because at Barça there are no transitional seasons. You have to make the season successful “
Víctor Font: “Hopefully Koeman continues to lead the team because he is doing a good job and he will mean that he continues to do so”.
Toni Freixa: “We have defended Koeman’s position as Barça coach and we celebrate that now the Barcelona debate is what we have always defended”.
WILL THE CLUB BECOME SAD?
Joan “Laporta:” The main motivation I have is that Barça continue to belong to the members. “
Víctor Font: “None of us has the will to turn the club into a sports corporation, but the economic situation is so complex that it is not a matter of wills”.
Toni Freixa: “Absolutely not. The club will go ahead with good sports management and that is why we are accompanied by an expert like Lluís Carreras ”.
WOULD THEY HAVE PLAYED ON THE DAY OF OCTOBER 1?
Joan Laporta: “I would not have played it and in any case I would never have left the decision in the hands of the players, the president and the board of directors would have decided.”
Víctor Font: “No”.
Toni Freixa: “It is difficult to answer this question with a monosyllable, when security depended on the Generalitat and it did not want to declare the party as high risk. The board of directors proposed not to play the game, but the situation of the club not only depends on the board but on the sporting consequences that a game like that can have. The board of directors did well to stage an empty field, playing a highly competitive game. In the end, LaLiga was won ”.
