[Sport] Laporta, Freixa and Font: a lot of disqualification and little project

[#Steeven.™]

The last debate becomes a succession of slights and attacks between the candidates for the presidency of Barcelona

The last debate between the three candidates for the presidency of Barcelona was based on a cross accusation between them. The projects of each applicant were touched by glancing. The three candidates, also carried away by the format of the debate, were constantly attacking each other. His way of convincing the member was based on the disqualification of the rival rather than on a debate and in-depth analysis on the vital issues for the club.

There was hardly time to position themselves because from minute one the cross attacks between them began. Víctor Font called for a change in the club's management model in which "those who know make decisions instead of the alpha male model", referring to Laporta. The former president took refuge in some words that he has repeated throughout this campaign ad nauseam. "Our project is based on credibility, leadership and determination."

During the economic section, hostilities were already unleashed openly. The first confrontation between Laporta and Freixa took place when the latter blamed him that the closing of his last exercise had not been exemplary. "The indebtedness was greater than the turnover, as now," he said. Laporta accused him of misrepresenting and of "accounting trilerism." And that no matter how much he repeated a lie, he would not cease to be proud of his legacy. Freixa called him a liar again.

Laporta was always in the middle of all the discussions, but he was not uncomfortable. The former president is the distribution of blows and he was ready to fight. Both Freixa and Font had the former president as the target of their attacks. One of the hardest moments occurred when Laporta hit Víctor Font hard: "Barça cannot afford presumptuous managers without credibility like you." Font reacted immediately by telling him that this is the "kind of leadership that the club now cannot afford. You cannot look down on a member who has been working on a project for a long time."

Both candidates became entangled in the issue of Xavi again. Laporta continued to recriminate that Xavi and Jordi Cruyff had denied it on several occasions. There was even a moment of mockery from Laporta. Freixa defended himself very well on the Koeman issue because from the beginning he has defended his continuity as a coach. "You said it was a patch," he told Font that he was not able to answer him and instead he went off on a tangent.

Font wanted to know who would make the sports decisions in the Laporta project and who will be the technical secretary. Who will it be, the fire extinguisher? The former president did not reply.
