Josep Maria Bartomeu spoke of a lot of subjects candentes in the interview that televised 'Barça TV'. The president left very clear that the club has clear that goes to do a renewal of the staff, although it did not want to give names by respect to the players. "This planning that will do from now with the trainer and the technical office, if there are names, that there will be them, will say them . Some of them already know it because it has spoken them in the last times. It will do a conversation with them to explain them his situation. The first that it is necessary to do is to speak with them by respect ", said.

"The technical decisions do not consult to the players. The exits will decide them between the technical office and the trainer"

To the thread of this, did not doubt in affirming that it does not go to shiver the pulse to the hour to undo of the 'holy cows', are or no friends of Leo Messi. "The technical office and the new trainer will take drastic measures and will affect to determinate players, that it is necessary to sack with all the honours. The technical decisions do not consult to the players. Think and listen is the most important, but the technical office and the trainer, of form consensuada, will take the decision", commented, removing him importance.

In relation to the exits, cleared that the rosarino is one of the untransferable of the staff, and also desveló other intocables, between which surprised to see the names of Ousmane Dembélé or of Antoine Griezmann. "Messi and a lot of other players are untransferable. It would be a commonplace say only Read. He is the best player of the history, but there is other untransferable. There are a lot of young players. Ter Stegen, Lenglet, Of Jong, Semedo, Dembélé, Griezmann. They are players that explain a lot with them and that have come to be a lot of years in the Barça", signalled.

In this sense, also declared intocable to Ansu Fati, by which does not think to negotiate although they have arrived offers by him. "We have received, proposals. By Ansu Fati, for example. The Barça receives a lot of offers by his players. Some brake them the own players because they do not want to go. Ansu Fati Is a player with an important market, a lot of clubs want him, but do not want to sell him. It knows it he", declared.

Related with the juvenile, the president confirmed that the plan of face to the course that comes is to explain much more with the quarry and with the youngest. "It is evident that the canteranos will have more leadership the next season. First because there are players of the quarry that have touched the door of the first team and go to remain, like Riqui, Ansu and Araujo. There are other players like Iñaki Crag, Ilaix, Monchu that will have opportunities", stood out.

"Coutinho Has options to remain . It will be a decision of the technical office and of the trainer"

It did not have problems Bartomeu in speaking of his failures in matter of signings with the arrivals of Dembélé and Philippe Coutinho, although it defended the one of Griezmann. "If there is some investment that has not gone well is evident. In the case of Dembélé has lesionado a lot. Coutinho Had to be yielded because it did not have the lace. To Griezmann would not put it in this package", aimed. Of the Brazilian, besides, said that it could remain in the Barça. "Yes, has options to remain . It will be a decision of the technical office and of the trainer, but if they consider that it has to remain will remain ", affirmed.

Dardo of Bartomeu to Valverde and Setién

Besides, the maximum mandator barcelonista commanded a dart so much to Ernesto Valverde as to Quique Setién by his way to train. Although it was not clear, the Catalan left to fall that the changes of technician owe , between other things, to that the footballers train little. "There is a maximum that says that it plays as it trains . I do not say that it train badly, I say that it plays as it trains . There is internal self-criticism and it is necessary to give a turn more. Therefore it comes a new trainer", recognised.

Finally, the leader blaugrana surprised with some words in which it described as unfair to lose in several of the last Champions League. "I miss the Champions that deleted us the Inter, Chelsea, the Rome and the Liverpool. They are four Champions that deserved by how played and miss them. I miss these four eliminatory, that were unfair", communicated. The true is that the years of the 'blues' or the one of the Inter himself could be unfair the football with the Barça, but in front of the 'reds' and the Romans is surprising that the president think something like this.
