Gerard Piqué spoke yesterday with Ibai Llanos about the Barcelona elections, the candidates and the past stage of Josep María Bartomeu. The central did not position himself for any of the applicants, but Yes, he urged to look to the future and to request the participation of a Blaugrana partner. His speech was used today by Víctor Font on his Twitter account, something that the footballer did not like at all, who asked him to delete the publication.
Víctor Font resorted to the following statement: “Tgoose look to the future. The past is good for nothing but to learn from mistakes“. Piqué quickly interacted with the publication:”Victor, with all due respect, these words have nothing to do with with what is trying to convey in the tweet. Please remove it and not use my image for your benefit. Thank you”.
Gerard, hem fet to serve this thought teva why it goes in our line of thought. In cap cas volíem create-te problem cap. Ho eliminem. Hope to come back to see you ben aviat to the camp. one abracada

The candidate did not bother or, at least, did not reflect it in the reply he had about one of the captains of the first team. Font deleted his initial post and referred to the player like this: “Gerard, we have used this reflection of yours because it is in our same line of thought. In no case did we want to create any problems for you. We remove it. We hope to see you again soon in the field. A hug”.
Piqué's full statement on the elections:
“All three candidates are competent. Whoever comes out is going to do well. I hope that the partner, within the limitations, can vote. You have to look to the future, looking to the past only serves to correct mistakes. Those of us who are partners vote. I don't know how many partners we are in the team“.
Memory of Bartomeu:
“It was a difficult situation. A president, at least as I see it, should try to manage the club in such a way that decisions can be made and solved when there are problems. When you don't, a mountain is created. The problems do not solve themselves, but you have to take the bull by the horns. There were times when more leadership was needed, to show up. I have always had a kind and cordial treatment with him. As a person, I don't think he's evil, although he does have to be gifted to lead a liner. I have had experiences of things that you do not understand, that is superior to you. Misunderstandings, problems are created … Little by little the subject is growing and it jumped into the air. Many times I told him to come to the Sports City, that we had to talk. And it did not appear“.
