“We want Messi to continue and that the economic situation allows us to pay for it”

The candidate for the presidency of Barcelona, Víctor Font, surprised with the signing of Toni Nadal for his work team in case of winning in future elections. Rafa Nadal's former coach and uncle would occupy a position in the area of ​​behavior that Font intends to set up, and in the area of ​​Institutional Relations.

Toni Nadal spoke of this possible new responsibility in The spar of the SER.

Victor Font's call: “It's been a long time, about two years. Antoni Bassas introduced me to it. He explained what they wanted and made a great impression on me. He has been preparing this project for a long time. The vision of the future and what the club needs. Barcelona is in a difficult situation. “

Offering: “This is the first time they have offered me this. I am a tennis coach, a club member and a supporter. I was surprised when they told me.”

Beginning: “We all like to win, raise trophies but you have to influence from the base to the top of the club, that you have a commitment to the club. With correction and education. Values ​​must be used from the president to the last person of the club “.

Criticisms of the VAR: “It is not going very well for this to happen. Sometimes the VAR is interpreted in our favor and sometimes against us. We must not exaggerate more than necessary with the criticism and comments of the people. Nothing happens either. I would like a president who was a great manager, who correctly represented the institution. “

Bartomeu work: “It has not been a good job, unfortunately. I would like everyone to do well: Setién, Koeman, Bartomeu. For one thing and for another it has not been done well. In a difficult economic situation, moreover, with the COVID. Bartomeu did not want to do it wrong. Setién had the intention of winning the Champions League and they scored eight “.

Were you afraid for Messi's departure ?: “Yes, for me it is a bad sign that the best in history wants to leave, it does not touch. We have to make an effort to convince him to continue, but we will see if the economic situation allows us to pay it.”

Rafael Nadal: “He is a great supporter of Madrid but if Víctor Font wins I don't think he will go against me. Rafael knows where I am and has a different vision, but he knows less about football than I do.”
