[Sport] Víctor Font: "Xavi will be in charge of convincing Messi"

[#Steeven.™]

Víctor Font, candidate for the presidency of Barcelona, went through the microphones of "El Partidazo" of the COPE chain and spoke about his options for victory, the 'Messi case' and other issues of Barça today.

The candidates
"I think four or five will pass the signature cut. Laporta, Freixa may be, I hope that we ... it is difficult to make a forecast because there are candidates who still do not know whether they are going to present themselves. I am not worried that Laporta has not come out to speak. "

 

Critical situation
"The pandemic has dramatically worsened the situation and has put the club in a critical situation. The project is going to be more important than ever,"

 

"Whoever comes with promises of super signings like Neymar, Mbappé ... will not be a very credible promise. We are in a situation of almost pre-bankruptcy. There is no liquidity to pay"

 

No big names
"Whoever comes with promises of super signings like Neymar, Mbappé ... will not be a very credible promise. We are in a situation of almost pre-bankruptcy. There is no liquidity to pay. Eric García could not be signed, nor Depay .. ... with which, and adding the salary limits set by the League, the normal thing is that we now bet more on people from the house. Ansu Fati, Pedri ... we have to go more this way ".

 

Xavi Hernandez
"We have been building a project all this time and we believe that this project involves setting up a structure. The time has come not to be a resultist and, in that sense, it would make sense for Xavi to enter that structure. He is the best possible person to lead the project. ".

 

"I know that Eric García is crazy to come"

 

Mess continuity

i "Messi will listen to us and see our intentions. He will know our project and this is what worries us, that Messi knows that we have a competitive project. It is essential that he continue. Our intention is to talk about the issue with him. The important thing is that there is light at the end of the tunnel and there are elections soon. Messi and his people will be able to understand what is going to happen shortly depending on who wins. We believe that Messi and Barça have to be a strategic partnership, it goes beyond their retirement. "

"The best man to convince Messi is Xavi. He knows him perfectly well. Leo trusts Xavi's abilities, I know. He will have a very important place in this process. Messi is irreplaceable."

Would you sign a Madrid center-back who ends his contract and would arrive for free? (Ramos)
"If it can be done financially, go ahead, because the sports structure, in this sense, rules. But personally, I believe that there are other players in that position, both in the case of Eric García, who I know wants to come, as well as others. We let De Ligt escape, who is a very good center-back with a great future. What you have to do is young talent to have good years in the future. "

 

Independence
"It is clear that we must not renounce the founding roots of the club. Barça represents a good part of the Catalan people, Barça has allowed us to explain what Catalonia is outside of Spain. That does not mean that we use Barça as a party politician.

 

"Griezmann is a signing that should not have been made because of the position he occupies in the field"

 

European Super League
"Bartomeu let him sign some papers for a super league that does not exist. I know that they are talking about it, it is not the first time. Some big clubs are trying to promote another competition behind UEFA's back. For us, there is a long way to go to improve the format of the Champions League. It can be improved, but it is important that the national leagues continue to be competitive ":

 

Griezmann
"It is surprising because of the talent he has. It is evident that he was a signing that should not have been made because of the position he occupies. He came to occupy the position that Messi already occupies and the fit was very complicated."

 

Luis Suarez
"We could hope that Luis would be one of the players that came out. I was surprised by the forms and that it was done without having a clear replacement. We can suffer this year from the lack of goal because that was contributed by Suárez."

 

Social work
"We have a very ambitious social project. Barça has tremendous potential for this. We plan that during the mandate we will once again wear UNICEF on the shirt."
