Laporta thinks about Koeman's statement: “We found out at the last minute”

Joan Laporta has answered the questions from El Chiringuito before an event in Andalusia. The Blaugrana president has been somewhat surprised due to the fact that Ronald Koeman read a statement at a press conference and did not reply to the media. Of course, the president has asked “serenity“and has appealed to football to reverse the current complex situation.

“We found out at the last minute that he intended to make this statement. There is an obligation to go to press conferences and he is free to answer questions or express himself as he sees fit. I respect the coach's decision, but we have known it shortly before saying it, like the captains. Has been like this“, explains Laporta.

This is how the sporting crisis sees what the Blaugrana are going through: “Like all Barcelona fans, we are not comfortable with the situation. We are in a difficult moment and now we have to have a lot of serenity and hope that there is a good result tomorrow in Cádiz. These situations are resolved with good results. This week we have two very important games and we have to keep fighting “

Asked if it is time to speak with Ronald Koeman, it is clear: “I have already said it before, I am here, with the peñas of Andalusia and now it is better to lower the ball to the ground And let's have a good game tomorrow. “He also shared Puyol's idea of ​​being calm and united:” That's what it's all about. “

After the act, he spoke again

Opinion on the statement: “I do not want to aggravate this situation. As president I want peace of mind, we all make mistakes and we have to have maximum understanding among ourselves at this time of difficulty.”

Koeman continuity: “Let's see, the coach always depends on the results and the game. At Barça, it is not only the results, it is also the game. Ronald knows this and will act like a professional and will seek by all means that we win the game, that “It's complicated. There will be a motivated Barça. The players are aware that LaLiga is going to be very competitive because from what has been seen so far in the game, there is no team that is clearly going to win.”

Can't you pay the compensation to the technician ?: “Koeman continues because he is the coach of Barça and has a contract. Everything we decide will be for the good of Barça. For now, he is still coach of Barça and we are with him”
