“I'm going to send 600 euros to the FEF to pay the fine to Messi”

Joan Gaspart He has been outraged by the sanction that the RFEF has given Messi for showing a Newell's shirt in tribute to Diego Armando Maradona. The former president has participated in the program “The 10 of Barça” directed by Miguel Angel Ruiz and in which the influencer participates David valdearenas. Gaspart has assured about the payment of the fine: “It makes me want, I doubt to do it, to make an income of 600 euros to the RFEF paying the fine that they have given Leo Messi for removing the shirt”.

The former Barça president added: “It is shameful that a tribute to a player like Maradona, one of the best in the world, of whom I participated in his signing, and that a teammate does what he did with the shirt. give the same value of what the statutes or regulations say that is to know how to assume it when it should be assumed. I do not rule out sending 600 euros to the RFEF and tell them that I pay the fine that they have given Leo for showing the shirt and I will explain why, because of the tremendous love I had for Diego Armando Maradona and for the love I have for Leo Messi. It's not fair. I'd rather pay them than Barça pay them because it is a demonstration that the partners are ashamed that the Federation has not had the moral or ethical detail to say that what Messi has done is a special case, we must applaud him “.

Gaspart has compared the tribute with the one that Iniesta did in the World Cup final: “Luckily the Federation did not fine Iniesta for taking off his shirt in South Africa because otherwise he would also have had a sanction, but Leo Messi and the RFEF … On Monday I think I'm going to send 600 euros to settle the debt. I will not pay the fine that they have given to Barça and it will be Barcelona who will pay it, but Messi's … Please. Messi does not deserve that he is not a nameless partner, a member of Barça. I do not want to be the protagonist of this issue. I am indignant. It is not the problem of what Messi wins. It is the fact that a generous act of recognition no longer of the photo of Leo with the shirt of the first team with which Messi played towards Maradona and with the number ten has come out all over the world “.

Gaspart: “I hope they eliminate Madrid from the Champions League”

The former president of Barcelona has reviewed all the news of the Barcelona team.

He wants Messi to go: “No”.

Neymar: “He has it very easy. Let him come to Barça in reasonable conditions. I have already forgiven him. Let him agree with his team and let him go out and let both (Messi and Neymar) play hand in hand”.

Betrayal if Messi leaves: “Messi is the best player in the world. He will give many afternoons of glory, but Barça will continue the same as when Kubala, Rivaldo left … Messi is an out of series that I want him at Barça. Faced with the Barça or Messi dilemma ? I want more to Barça. “

Madrid: “What the Real Madrid cave has to do is win a game to qualify for the round of 16, something I don't want. Hopefully it will be eliminated. You have to worry what happens to your coach.”

What do you prefer if they eliminate Madrid or play the Europa League?: “That it goes down to Second Division”.

He misses Espanyol: “They are from home. Espanyol was founded by Catalans. They also declared me non grato. I respect him. I don't want him to be in Second. It didn't make me happy, but it doesn't make me happy that he makes us plays that has hurt us. I want him to lose against Barça and beat Madrid. I prefer Espanyol to Madrid. “

Not welcome: “I am the only Barça member that has been declared ungrato by Real Madrid”.

Tusquets: “I am a very good friend of his. My opinion is linked to my friendship with him. Before the date on which the elections are set, it was impossible. He has advanced them to the maximum. We enter Christmas and in January after Reyes there are elections. It is positive how the vote will be distributed by Spain. If he did not come out, he would be criticized and if he comes out a lot you criticize him because he comes out a lot. He transmits to us the reality due to COVID. He has said that he would have transferred Messi financially, not sportively. It is a recognition that what Bartomeu did is of great value. Economically perhaps it would have been better to transfer it and enter an amount, and yet Bartomeu made a very culé decision. Tusquets has made it clear that economically he would have transferred it. The board The management company is limited to what it can do. On January 24 we will have a new president. “

Tusquets management: “What I would not have aired is if I was going to pay some bills that have come in. This can be done without saying it. Tusquets has sinned by not being used to being asked questions. The negotiation of the salary bill and the elections have been correct. The only downside is to explain what there is because it harms the institution. His statement is made with the good faith of a businessman. Barça is not a normal company and to say that there are invoices that they will not sign or endorse is to leave you doubt because you can do the same without saying it. “

Nine candidates: “It's normal. When I presented myself there were ten of us. Being a pre-candidate is very easy. Any of the 160,000 partners can apply. The candidate is the one who gets the signatures. Let's see how many pass this process and in the end it is reduced by two or in three “.

Who wants to be president: “I am not going to be a passive former president. Yes I am going to tell the partners what they have to do. I will get wet and tell who I am going to vote for. My opinion can add and it can subtract. I have the moral obligation to say so.”

Florentino, the Messi of the offices: “No, if it were like Messi, he would have won everything. He is a great president and a great businessman. I will never forget the Figo operation. The day I think that football and the League are moving through the offices, I will go home. As an entrepreneur, he resembles the footballer. “

Refereeing in the four Champions of Madrid and in the last league: “There is everything. Barça has won leagues with Florentino as president of Madrid.” In the last century, I prefer not to talk about referees but also about things as important as what it would have represented if Di Stefano had come to Barça, political actions and favoritism moved there. It is the past. Barça will win the League, the Cup and the Champions League. I want to think that football is clean and shared “.

Endured in the cloth: “I stayed only out of a sense of responsibility and because the partners were right. When a huge majority told you: 'go', I lower my head and I admit that my body is shaking. That day people protested and nothing happened. In the game Previously, the most angry partners came to the box and some glass broke. A president has to take over. This is one of the photos I have at home. In life there are moments when you have to express yourself. I have the photo next to the letter when Madrid declared me non grato “.

It favors that, if he feels like the worst president in the history of Barça, he says the name of who he is going to support: “Yes, because I would not vote myself. I know that the future president has to move away from my way of being.”

Elections: “I was the one who changed the date to elect president because I left on August 1. I changed the statutes to two terms at most.”

Bartomeu management: “Sportingly he has won the Champions League, titles. Economically in his last season he has coincided with the time that everyone knows. A ten in the management of allowing Messi not to leave. A good person, discreet, with ups and downs like everyone else For me, he will have to be remembered as the president who did not want to negotiate the departure of Messi, the best player in the world. A remarkable high “.

Bartomeu, worst president: “No, the note that should be included is that of the last eight years or 15 days? In these last days the note would be lower. In football and at Barça we only remember when we are the best. If we don't win Cádiz will be in crisis again. We remember the last months in which he made decisions that he did not like or that we assumed with a lower grade than I have given. When I say the worst president I mean that he is not a president like me My presidency was reflected in my way of being as a Barça fan and partner “.

Commitment: “Candidates have to commit themselves that Barça never ceases to be what it has been and that neither for economic reasons or whatever it falls into the hands of a group that buys the club. The club's will is the members. In Europe there are only four sports clubs: Barça, Osasuna, Madrid and Athletic “.

Mattheus has not been featured: “All the players who are registered have to follow the same pattern. The one that has cost 500 or the one that has not cost anything. The one who does not think that 2020 is a year to forget. It is a Hiroshima bomb that has fallen on him Many of us have suffered it. There are people who have families who have left because of COVID. I do not want to excuse what has been done by the directive, but it is a parenthesis that has already been forgotten. Wanting to make 2020 a normal year is not be responsible. It is being an exceptional year. We are not in a bomb war but a terrible disease. Perhaps we will have to present all the players. If I have to choose between Barça winning everything or that we all get cured, Barcelona won't win anything. For me, life is above winning a title or not winning it. “

Tense economic situation: “The virus has cost more than 300 or 400 million euros. Revenues have dropped for everyone. Barça could have been better because I know the projects they have in China and that will give the club money.”

Bartomeu has paid to defame players: “I disagree”.
