Xavier Vilajoana, that formed part of the managerial board of Josep Maria Bartomeu, has announced that pretends to present like candidate to the next comicios, although it seems to want to desmarcarse of the label of continuista.

Xavi Vilajoana is employer and industrial engineer, ex director of the formative football and of the feminine of the FC Barcelona and worked with until three ex presidents: Joan Laporta, Sandro Rosell and Josep Maria Bartomeu. On the other hand, there will be members of the salient board in his candidature and is thus that escapes of this continuismo that attributes him , partly by not being at all critic with the management of these last seasons.

For Xavier Vilajoana, the quarry would be the base of his project and denied to give the opinion on the previous board. "I am not the one who has to value the good or bad management of a Board. This is in hands of the partners. I can speak of the areas in which had responsibility. My bet by the players of the quarry was very clear", explained, on his work up to now.

Besides, the already precandidato to the elections of the FC Barcelona explained that the continuity of Leo Messi also will be key. "Messi is and will be the best player of the history of the football. The first that will do will be to seat me with him, listen him and, in function of what say, do him a proposal. I think that before saying what would do, is important to know the subject at first hand", commented.

Obviously, it is a moment in which the club, the country and the world finds in a situation complicated by the pandemia. I what want to is to convince to the partner. By the fact to having been in a managerial board, this contributes you a lot of value in a moment in which the situations have to take with celerity. In my board there is not any member of the previous. No by at all, but because I have a way to think, to throw for forward, that requires a team of some characteristics", said.

On the other hand, also it pronounced on the fact that the FC Barcelona run risk to turn into Anonymous Society. "There is a thing that have very clear. The club is of the partners and has to follow being it. That is the historical strength of the Barça. It does not understand the Barça without this structure of property. It would seem me an atrocity. If I am president of the Barça, this possibility does not go to give never", sentenced.

It would change the form to focus the planning

Xavier Vilajoana also ensured that it would change some appearances of what saw in his previous stage. "I was manager from did eight months. One of my criticisms was the step of cadet to juvenile. My way to think was different to the one of the technical direction, that from my point of view, did not do the things as it owed . Thanks to this internal fight, achieved that the basic football remained isolated of the dinamicas of the first team. I wanted to move away the formative football the resultadismo", concluded.
