Joan Laporta, president of Barcelona, has claimed that the club will be released from misconduct in the Negreira case, because they are accused of sporting corruption. He also thought about the official and institutional fighting that the Blaugrana had about the registrations of Dani Olmo and Pau Victor.
Reforms come in the official in Spanish football, with head of the Referee Committee (CTA) Luis Medina Cantalejo expected to continue. Real Madrid was invited to become a member of the reform committee in which the clubs were involved next to Sevilla, Real Betis, the RFEF and La Liga. Despite important complaints last season, Laporta says that Barcelona is changing at the Tack.
“There is a club committee to improve the referee system. We are not part of this committee, but we are invited and we contribute to what we can. We try to complain as little as possible because playing the victim has never worked for us. Complaints have not received any results. There is a sociological Madridismo,” he said TV3.
Of course, the crucial context is the Negreira case, in which Barcelona is probably that he has paid the former vice-president of the CTA Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira € 7-8 million for a period of 17 years between 2001 and 2018. Laporta has denied a disposal in the past, but says that De Blaugrag says.
“The referee is becoming increasingly professional, we prefer not to become too involved in complaining.
At the same time, one of the most important storylines this season has been Real Madrid's attempts to put pressure on referees through a consistent line of criticism and accusation of bias, regardless of the officials involved.
“I'd rather not talk about it,” Laporta said. “They have their strategy and I respect it. Our recipe is: football, football, football. And in the offices try to criticize constructively, so that they harm us as little as possible during unfavorable situations. Historically, Barca has to be much better to win titles. And this season was a good example.”
Laporta and Barcelona succeeded in holding Dani Olmo and Pau Victor who registered through an order in January, with La Liga and the RFEF against them. When the first order was granted, Laporta reacted boisterously to the Spanish Supercup semi-final and insulted some of the RFEF officials present.
'What hurt me was that it went against all elements and that our people [referring to the Catalan media] It took the same discourse, the damage to the damage. But I have to respect them and today we are all happy because the joy of the Barcelonismo has returned. But it was a difficult situation. “
“Even Flick asked me for a lecture and I had to tell them that they would be registered; it was a terrible pressure and when we left that lecture, they gave us the green light. The Federation and Laliga conspiracy to make it impossible. That is why they were registered,” explained Laporta in the Rowdy after his Rowdy Semi-final.
