Calendar of FC Barcelona

Víctor Font desveló, in a conversation with Gerard Moreno through his account of Twich, some details of the FC Barcelona that was scheduling with Xavi Hernández during his presidential campaign, One of the first measures that had thought was speech with Lionel Messi to explain him the sportive project of the club.

One of the keys that offered the ex candidate is that Xavi went to be followed having the vertebral column of players bred in the Barcelona club. Sergio Busquets, Gerard Hammered, Jordi Alba and Sergi Roberto were immovables and would do all the possible so that it continued the Argentinian star in the rows of the institution. Antoine Griezmann also would remain.

"Had the staff configured and neither Depay neither Wignaldum hinder in this planning", explained the employer during the mentioned conversation with Gerard Moreno. Sergio Agüero himself was between the plans of the ex candidate: "The Kun was part of the plan. We had established contact, there was relation, and he also knew of the need that it went down the pretences".

Another of the fundamental signings was the one of Eric García, to the that Font already would have incorporated months backwards when it opened the market of winter. Then it could not suceder, as between the precandidatos to the presidency of the Barcelona club there was not unanimity for fichar to the young canterano.

"Eric also formed part of the project. It explained a lot with the people of house, wanted to redoblar the bet with people like Riqui Puig and there was a pair more than signings more than wanted to do. One was a left side, but as we already explain signings like Haaland and Mbappé were not possible", exposed Font.

Keep to the 'heavy weights'

From here that Font, unlike Laporta, have not posed the change of cycle: "This remained in hands of the sportive direction. Yes that it is truth that it was necessary to look for exit to some players, but what was indispensable was to go down the mass salarial. Xavi had Hammered, Alba, Busquets and Sergi Roberto. It wanted to surround to these footballers of young people and new players".

The physical preparation was another appearance to improve: "The bet of Xavi was a subject of leadership and to convince to the players. It wanted to have to players with good physical tone, those players that could not presionar did not go to play by a lot of name that had. They could not do big signings, so the planning went through to combine people experienced with people younger. Physical tone and meritocracia with an idea of football cruyffista".
