Joan Laporta spoke this Friday in press conference to present to Sergi Barjuan like new interim trainer in replacement of Ronald Koeman. The president elogió to the up to now technician of the Barça B and left clear that already is looking for a míster for the long term. Besides, it spoke of Xavi Hernández, that all aims that it goes to be the elected to lead the new project barcelonista.

To start with, on the contrary of what said , the maximum Barcelona mandator recognised that it has not left to speak with the one of Terrassa from the electoral campaign. "Never it cooled the relation with Xavi. I carry speaking from the electoral campaign with him and has not broken never the contact", signalled the president, that also cleared the reason whereby had doubts on if hire or no to the egarense.

"In this moment of mánager general did not see to Xavi. I know the illusion that does him be trainer of the Barça and the conversations that have kept have been this type. I was analysing things with Xavi and other external people in his day, but arrived to the conclusion that the best was to give confidence to Koeman", explained, referring to the reason whereby bet by the Dutch in summer and no by the Catalan.

Although Laporta ensured that has good reports of his work in Qatar, did not want to 'wet' directly on if the ex midfield player is the candidate preferred in these moments. "I have not changed the speech on Xavi. Since it went to Qatar said that it would be trainer of the Barça. What do not know is when. The reports that have are very good. I have not followed the To the Sadd, but all the imputs that arrive us are positive. But recently that has given the step to be trainer and does not have a wide route. By a lot of that speak of Xavi, allow me keep the reservation", signalled.

Following with this subject, the 'presi' followed without confirming at all regarding the ex '6', although it admitted that always it has seen him triumphing in the bench of the Camp Nou. "I always have said that Xavi will train some day to the Barça. It is a person that lives by the football, is of the Barça and has it like an aim prioritario in his life. I what think is that have a very good relation with him and that has some glorious surroundings. Already we will see how it evolves everything", stood out.

Laporta Left clear what asks him to the next trainer of the Barça

On the other hand, it recognised that the next trainer of the Barça will have to achieve that the team recover his philosophy of game, something that Xavi carries by flag. "The style of the Barça is genuine and innegociable. I do not think that it have lost , but it has moved away a bit. We want to recover the essences. The football evolves and the trainers are more versatile. In the Barça likes us have the ball and have depth. Cruyff Taught them to us. We want a spectacular football, but win. It demands much more to a trainer of the Barça that to any another trainer. It demands game and results", indicated.

Finally, it left very clear that it was the one who was the elected, the next trainer will be a personal bet of the current Managerial and will have 100% of his support. "Will have the total support of the board that chair and of the direction of football. We try it with Koeman and the one who avenges will have all our support. Will have all our support and all our requirement because we aspire to win the competitions that have. In the Barça there are not seasons of transition", concluded.
