After it have happened already a year since Josep Maria Bartomeu, president of the FC Barcelona, destituyera to Andoni Zubizarreta like sportive director of the club, the ex Basque director has conceded an extensive interview to the newspaper "Marks" in which it has reviewed some subjects of Barcelona actuality and has spoken, especially, of how felt when it was sacked of the Barça and clearly signalled by the fans. "It is important to consider that the final notes obtain in June, and then were in January. They are different perspectives".

"After the small rifirrafe between Messi and Luis Enrique, lost in Anoeta. They asked after me the sanction of the FIFA in Anoeta and said an obviedad: the one who better knows my work is Bartomeu, that had been the sportive manager in the Managerial Board during the presidency of Rosell. The one who better knew the sportive planning was he. Two days afterwards produced the decision of the club. I felt me only, distinguished", explains, although Luis Enrique and Xavi Hernández devoted him words of praise during the celebration of the triplete.

"I am him appreciated. It belongs to the personality of Luis Enrique. Also memory with gratitude the words of Xavi. And it is truth that the club invited us to the final of Glass with the Athletic and to the one of Berlin against the Juve. I preferred not going. Had a contradiction. By a part, the pride of the work done, but this can not desligar of the internal pain, of the tear by how finished that, of how people that put in doubt all the process in a so difficult period afterwards added to the success", has continued the ex sportive director of the Barça. One of his greater defeats, according to him, went not achieving that Guardiola renewed.

"I arrived in 2010 because Sandro Rosell and Pep decided it. One of my challenges was to achieve that Pep was still in the Barça. I recognise that one of my defeats, perhaps the greater, is that Pep did not be the Barça. It was his decision, but there is split in that they put you a goal by the square and others where think that you have been able to do something more. That was the case. All the other, all the professional, that was related with the transition and the maintenance of the model of the Barça, seems me that it was flawless. All the wounds that left that in the personal chapter... I am used to to say that it is a friendship that has remained in a bracket. If now it is open, would be well close it sometime of the life". After the course of Guardiola, Zubizarreta chose to Luis Enrique like successor in the bench, a very closed man with the press.

"Speak of Luis Enrique in the press is complicated, means that the same annoying. It does not like him. Luis Enrique is a passionate, a passionate for everything, and also for the football. It is a man that admits that it does not have all the solutions, but that has very clear his ideas. It is direct and has a big virtue: it assumes very well his responsibilities. It is somebody that asks that it judge him from the game, no from the accessory. It is not easy because all know that the football, the game in himself is not the main subject in the debates mediáticos. It seemed us that we needed a trainer that added energy to a changing room subjected to problems very hard, like the death of Tito Vilanova. Luis Enrique had the advantage to know very well to the club and to the quarry".

The Real Madrid confronts now to the same sanction to which confronted the Barça. "There were not precedents in the Barça, neither in the main European clubs, of an alike situation. We had to face a new challenge in the middle of a process of change. They went Víctor Valdés and Puyol. The continuity of Xavi was not clear. Fortunately, it remained a year more. The calendar of the sanction tightened us. We did the greater investment in the history of the Barça, with an incessant movement of exits and entrances. It was necessary to fine-tune very well in the economic plane and in the sportive. It was important to do very soon the main changes: Luis Enrique, Ter Stegen, Rakitic and, immediately, Luis Suárez", has narrated Zubizarreta.
