This Wednesday, Víctor Font, Joan Laporta and Toni Freixa spoke in a debate organised by the Group Godó (Sportive World, The Avant-garde, RAC1 and 8TV). The three presidential candidates of the FC Barcelona launched several 'darts' to the hour to speak of several questions, as for example of Leo Messi and of Xavi Hernández​, two very present names in the campaigns of all they.

"It can be that we can not compete to level of money, but Messi does not govern by the money. He wants to finish his sportive career the highest possible. With Messi have a relation of esteem and respect. I am sure that if it wins another candidate, will not follow", said Laporta, leaving clear that he is the only able to convince to the Argentinian. Freixa, by his part, criticised the change to seem of Font, that defended as it could.

"Now all agree in that it follow, but when it sent the burofax some said that it had to go to the Manchester City. The sportive idea that pose we is the one who likes him, with us also will follow", said Freixa, to what Víctor answered. "If the president of the Barça promised him that if it wanted to go out, not to fulfil it is an example more than being missing to the truth. We would have to have avoided arrive to the burofax", declared.

Laporta Also loaded against Freixa by his relation with Messi in the stage that happened in the Barça, although the candidate denied his words. "Messi did not finish very satisfied with your paper of director. Leo will contemplate our proposal. There was a moment that they filtered some statements that Messi was prescindible", affirmed 'Jan', to what answered Toni. "My relation with the family Messi always has been excellent", indicated.

Laporta And Freixa loaded against Font by Xavi

On the other hand, the others two candidates criticised to Font by Xavi. "They have denied it all. First it said that Koeman would not follow if it won a triplete and that Xavi would be the trainer. Now it is mánager. You made a mistake and you are confusing to the partners of the club. I with Xavi speak a lot and know, Víctor, that are it presionando so that it appear", stood out Laporta. "We also speak with Xavi and does not contemplate the figure of the mánager, wants to be in the terrain of game. He wants to train. A trainer like Xavi does not pose be in a dispatch", said Freixa.

Font Answered to the criticisms received by his promises on the ex Catalan midfield player and left clear that at all of what has said is lie. "What have done we is to work to have to Xavi, but does not have to be exclusive ours. It does not have to do an I against you. If somebody finds some statements of Xavi that all this is not true, I go out of the electoral career. We have worked with these people", recognised.

The politics of signings of the candidates

Finally, on the possibility of fichar to big stars like Erling Haaland or Kylian Mbappé, the three candidates explained what think. "I will not speak of names that can desestabilizar to our players. Our model of club is that the economic and sportive politics go of the hand. If at the end of season have the need to reinforce us, will be prepared. The others clubs also will have his economic needs and there will be need to exchange players", admitted Laporta, indicating that the barter could be key in his politics of signings.

On the other hand, Font left clear that has very clear how will proceed and that it will be impossible fichar big names by the crisis. "Taking into account the situation in which we are, can not improvise and have a sportive structure from does months to build the staff of the next year. We have to take into account the economic situation of the club and the knowledge of big professional. In normal conditions, promise a signing with a sum of important money is to deceive to the partner. We have to resolve a grave economic situation and be competitive", aimed.

Finally, Freixa desmarcó of the others candidates and insisted in that yes there will be margin for fichar to some 'crack'. "Obviously it is possible fichar to these players, the best always have been in the Barça. The first is to look home what have and play to the football that has done us recognizable. The differential players always can them have. With the solutions that have contributed in the campaign, the Barça will be in disposal to reinforce the staff. It is necessary to do a discount of the mass salarial", said, contradicting.
