Florentino Pérez won the elections to the presidency of the Real Madrid promising the signing of Luis Figo, that finally carried out. Joan Gaspart, president of the FC Barcelona in this period, remembered the facts
It was president of the FC Barcelona between the years 2000 and 2003, and although the fans do not save very good memory of his stage at the head of the club, never has cut to the hour to defend the interests of the Barcelona. If something characterises to Joan Gaspart is that it is a very direct person, and like this has recognised it in an interview for The Confidential, where reviewed the period in which it was president.
"With Florentino Pérez have a very direct relation, in spite of the putada that did me with Luis Figo"
The ex Barcelona president remembered the signing of Luis Figo by the Real Madrid when the Portuguese was the captain of the FC Barcelona, although it admitted that it saves a good relation with Florentino Pérez: "I always have been conciliatory. I have punctured with subjects of football, but to the hour of the truth fix that one of my best friends in the personal was the gentleman Ramón Mendoza, ex president of the Real Madrid. Or with Florentino Pérez have a very direct relation, in spite of the putada that did me with Luis Figo. I always have known to separate. I recognise my forofismo and my illness with regard to the Barça, but do not hurt me pieces in having a conversation and negotiate with people that thinks distinct to me".
The curious anecdote of Gaspart in Madrid
Joan Gaspart explained a curious anecdote sucedida after one of his first classical against the Real Madrid. "A day, finishing a party in the Bernabéu, think that had empatado, was when it was Go Gaal of trainer, put me in a full bar to rebosar while the players duchaban. At all more go in, absolute silence. The waiter did not know if serve me a cane. Suddenly it approached a person and said me, 'you is conscious of where has put ?'. It was the bar of the ultras of the Real Madrid", signalled.
Fortunately, there were not incidents. "The type heaved the voice and said, 'mates, this gentleman is a cabrón of the Barça, but we also are it of the Madrid, so we do a truce. That it take a beer and leave '. I took me this beer and said me, 'now when it go out do not run, go out walking because if it runs go to go out all behind you'. And at all more go out half bar threw to the street to see what did I, if it ran or walked", sentenced.
