Calendar of FC Barcelona

The ex director of the Barcelona and precandidato to the presidency of the Catalan team, Xavier Vilajoana, has between his proposals pose them to the partners of the club, already was through an extraordinary assembly or in a referendum, that the Camp Nou was remodelled in a term of two years.

"The remodeling of which is our house is one of the big priorities of my electoral program", declared in an interview given to Sport. Besides, it added that "the project Espai Barça is fundamental for the present and the future of the club. We need a new stadium, modern, that allow us offer a better service to our partners and have a greater source of income. It does not like me speak of the Real Madrid, but they will have his new Bernabéu in little time and we can not take seven years in seeing remodelled the Camp Nou, because we will lose competitiveness with our rivals".

To execute and obtain the support for his project, Vilajoana proposes that the Barça play his official parties in the Stadium Olímpic Lluís Companys of Montjuïc while they lasted the works, but to compensate the difference of space that said stadium has with the Camp Nou, bends for adding terracings supletorias. It ensures also that has all the cost of the already calculated project. "It would be the best formula to have the remodeling the before possible, since do the works while the first team plays in the Camp Nou would be engorroso for the partners".

Situation of Messi and Koeman

By his part, in another interview, Vilajoana fixed position on the situation of Leo Messi, the one who has communicated months backwards to the directive of the Barcelona square his wish to go of the club. By what was emphatic in affirming that if it takes the decision to go of the Barça does not go to detain it. "What himself that have clear is that a player that does not want to be in a team can not remain. By a simply motivational subject. If it does not exist motivation, can not follow. That is the key. To know if has the motivation to follow, it is necessary to speak with him and will have to say in first person if it wants to continue".

"Have a sportive project with or without Messi. If Messi says me that it does not want to be in the Barça, will not put any obstacle to his exit. And what is clear is that, if it decides to go, will do it by the big door because it has been the best player of the history of the club. Although I enjoyed a lot with the best Maradona and have recorded in the retina the World-wide of Mexico by all what supposed, do not have doubts in that Messi has been the best of the history by his longevity. The level of Leo during 13 years is incomparable", added.

Competing against eight precandidatos

Besides, it has affirmed also that to win the presidency will not replace to Robert Koeman like technician of the team, although it aimed to that a possible change of director only would take it when finalising the season. "It would have he, yes. It is the current trainer and has agreement. The decisions have to take at the end of season".

Vilajoana Competes together with eight people more to the charge of president of the Barcelona in one of the more low and difficult moments in the history. The names of the precandidatos are the following: Víctor Font, Toni Freixa, Jordi Farré, Agustí Benedito, Lluís Fernández Allah, Pere Laughed, Joan Laporta, Emili Rousaud and Jordi Roche.
