The club's presidential elections were postponed just before Koeman's team failed in the final in Seville against Athletic. The three candidates who passed the signature cut and who will go to the polls probably on March 7 did not miss the opportunity to express their message about the situation on social media.
Laporta, Font and Freixa sent after the defeat uA message between optimism, complaint and hope hours after having vetoed together with the president of the manager, Carles Tusquets, the arrival of a reinforcement for the defense of the team such as Eric García that against Athletic it was revealed more necessary than ever. Lenglet's game, Mingueza's, Umtiti's non-participation and Piqué's injury portrayed the landscape of a Blaugrana defense that lives off Ronald Araújo. Koeman preaches in the desert asking a reinforcement, but the candidates in collusion with the manager do not face a request that in the final of the Super Cup was exhibited as urgent.
“You have to get up. To return to being the Barça that the fans and the players themselves deserve. With a project, with confidence. We will return the joy to Barcelona and we will win titles and be in the first line of world sports. Courage, culés!“Wrote Joan Laporta at the end of the game.
For its part, Victor Font sent the message that “At the end of this sad night, there is no choice but to get up and work to look at the future with the hope of making it Barça again. This is our commitment! ”.
Toni Freixa was more forceful when pointing out the party's referee: “It hurts to lose a title, but we have faced the whole game against a very tough opponent favored by a disastrous referee. The season goes on. Let's go Team”.
Three partners who at the moment have no responsibility whatsoever in the management of the club and among whom will come a president who have already decided not to heed the requests of the coach and the sports management who are clamoring for a central that could arrive for five million euros . TAll this, supported by a manager who remains in a supposedly provisional position that has already signed players in basketball (Westermann), handball (Emil Nielsen) and has renewed the women's star (Graham Hansen).
