At Christmas, silence about Ukraine and unfulfilled resolutions in Gaza. Also this week there was a resolution of the European Court in the legal dispute of the so-called Super League. The joy in some quarters is that the solution to the economic problems has arrived. Skepticism is widespread in English, German and French countries and clubs. Al-Khelaifi, president of the ECA, has come out completely against it. I think there is still a long way to go. I don’t know where the cash flows will come from to pay the debts and satisfy the wishes of leaders with broken hands. Sure there will be sponsors, television, etc., but I can see anyone thinking about footballers missing out on the sheer number of matches in the season. At the moment, at Barça, for example, we have several professionals with medium-range injuries. In Real Madrid, they have no goalkeeper or starting defender, in addition to two forwards, such as Vinicius and Rodrigo, out. If the Super League takes place, the number of matches will increase and the risk of casualties will increase. To this we must add the unrestrained interest of FIFA and UEFA in organizing tournaments with huge profits that do not refer to anyone and also the interest in recent years of the Arab countries in obtaining, at any price, the brightest names in any sport. And we come to football.
In all of this, I think we have to seriously analyze the situation, not claim victories and above all I have a veteran’s concern. In the 125 years of Barça’s history, I don’t remember a single time when those in the middle gave us a hand to go up. Instead, they pushed us down. And now it makes my fur stand up, strangely white, every time I see this collusion between the two presidents. Let’s not forget that Barça easily sold part of the future television rights to Sixth Street of the white president, and now the same investors are the ones behind the Super League. As José María García said, watch the data, or rather, the data, that makes you tremble.
I don’t want to end the year without sending a good message of hope to the members and fans of the Catalans. We are indestructible. We can’t even hurt ourselves. I want to wish you all a happy holiday and celebrate these wonderful days.
Julián Araujo could join Barça for 20 ‘acts’
Real things. Five years ago I presented to the sports management of Barça, together with Raúl Sanllehí, Silvio Elías and Javier Bordas, the definite possibility of signing Kylian Mbappé. Fortunately they are alive to tell the tale. The answer is that the coaches preferred Dembélé because he was more suited to the team game. No comments. Two years ago, at my insistence, I offered the Barça coaches Julián Álvarez, current world champion with his team and his club. Clause with River Plate 20 million. I have WhatsApp messages on my mobile. Payment financed over five years. I think they don’t know him. They didn’t answer me. The other day Julián Álvarez scored two goals in the Club World Cup final. Ah, when we didn’t sign him, Manchester City signed him and Barça, obviously, took Ferran Torres for 60 million. They deserve the brass medal
