Living together at Can Barça this season will not be easy at all. The wear and tear in the relations between Josep Maria Bartomeu and Lionel Messi are more than evident. The video in which the captain announced his continuity at the Blaugrana club on Friday makes it clear. Messi throws several darts at his boss, through Goal.com, on account of his contract, the team and the way he manages. These are some of the most important phrases of the forward.
Barça departure: “I told the club, above all, the president, that I wanted to go. I have been telling him all year. I told the president and well, he always said that at the end of the season I could decide if I wanted to go or if I he wanted to stay and in the end he didn't end up keeping his word. “
Failed project: “I wanted a winning project and win titles with the club to continue expanding the legend of Barcelona at the level of titles. And the truth is that there has been no project for a long time and there is nothing, they are juggling and covering holes as the games go by. stuff”.
Future: “I looked further and I want to compete at the highest level, win titles, compete in the Champions League. You can win it or lose it, because it is very difficult, but you have to compete. At least compete it and that the Rome and Liverpool do not happen to us. , the Lisbon thing. All that he did made me think about that decision that I didn't carry out. Let's go back to the beginning … “.
The clause: “I thought and we were sure that I was free, the president always said that at the end of the season I could decide if I stayed or not and now they hold on to the fact that I did not say it before June 10 when it turns out that on June 10 we were competing for the League in the midst of the virus this shit and this disease that altered all the dates. And this is the reason why I am going to continue in the club … Now I am going to continue in the club because the president told me that the only way To leave was to pay the 700 million clause, which is impossible, and then there was another way, which was to go to court. I would never go to court against Barça because it is the club that I love, which has given me everything since I arrived. , is the club of my life “.
Next season: “Now I don't know what is going to happen. There is a new coach and a new idea. That is good, but then you have to see how the team responds and if it will give us or not to compete. What I can say is that I I'm staying and I'm going to do my best ”.
The burofax: “The burofax was to make it official in some way. Throughout the year I had been telling the president that I wanted to leave, that the time had come to seek new illusions and new directions in my career. He told me all the time: “We'll talk, no, this and that,” but nothing. To put it in some way, the president did not give me 'ball' what he was saying. “
