Laporta: “In Bartomeu I see someone desperate because of the magnitude of the disaster”

BARCELONA, 15 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The president of FC Barcelona, ​​Joan Laporta, has assured that the staging of former president Josep Maria Bartomeu to try to defend his management two days before the Assembly of Compromisariso denotes that he is “desperate” at the “magnitude of the disaster” that, judgment of the current president, did and for which he is “responsible.”

“I see (in Bartomeu) a desperate person who realizes the magnitude of the disaster he made, or for which he is responsible as president, ultimately responsible for everything. But I will not go into detail so as not to spoil this beautiful moment of the Pedri’s renewal, “Laporta said at the press conference on the occasion of this extension of the Canarian player’s contract.

And it is that this same Friday Bartomeu made a multiple interview to L’Esportiu, Mundo Deportivo and Sport, to defend himself against the label of “disastrous management” that the current Blaugrana CEO, Ferran Reverter, put on.

“It was a serious and responsible management. Our management was not disastrous and LaLiga, UEFA and the auditors say so. With 180 million benefits, and with Forbes valuing us as the most valuable club in the world. That serious and rigorous management was truncated due to the appearance of the pandemic, which led to a drop in income of about 500 million “, defended Bartomeu.

On the other hand, given the various reports published by various media on the poor condition of the Camp Nou during Bartomeu’s administration, Laporta corroborated it. “We were surprised to detect a very high number of pathologies that, if we do not reinforce or recover them with the investment of 1.8 million euros in the short term and 20 million in the medium term … We act with the most urgent to have a maximum security certificate, “he said.

“If we did not get to do it, the stadium could not have been opened. But we did, we continue at it, and it is solved,” concluded Laporta in this regard, ensuring that there is no longer a risk to the health of the fan in his massive return to the stadium, being one hundred percent of the capacity as of next week.
