The Barcelona pronounces on the signing fallido of Griezmann

One of the maximum mandators of the managerial board of the FC Barcelona, the vice-president Jordi Mestre, has conceded an extensive interview to 'MD' in which it has reviewed some subjects of actuality and also of the past summer, like the signing truncated of Antoine Griezmann by the FC Barcelona, something that from the club have taken with normality.

"There are players that do not want to come to the Barça because they think that do not go to play having to the one who have by in front, or by economic subjects. That Griezmann have not wanted to come it is necessary to respect it and accept it. The another subject of the report is something accessory that has to see with the context that wrapped this interest by Griezmann", has explained Jordi Mestre, subtracting importance besides to the participation of Gerard Hammered in the documentary.

"We think that the dirty clothes washes home, and take it like a sentence done and no like that the of Hammered is something dirty. Whenever there is something that speak do it internally with the player". The arrival of Malcom Filipe, in this appearance, does not have to understand like the one of a substitute for Griezmann, that was the first option, but like a footballer more to reinforce the staff.

"Many times it says that index card to substitute to somebody, but the majority of times is not like this, index card to reinforce by needs of the team. To arrive Griezmann would not have come to substitute, but to complement, to reinforce. But it has not come and bad paper are not doing without him. It was an opportunity of market, but is not a drama what has happened", remarks Mestre.

"We assume it like part of the business of the football. By the way, I want to stand out that we are in inferiority since in Spain there are clauses of rescission and the club that wants to a player tries to recess from the figure of this clause knowing that it is the maximum that it can spend. In other countries in that there are not clauses no longer leave you neither ask and neither answer you. There are players that try to force his exit, but can that neither like this attain it".

The FC Barcelona ansía the title of Champions League

Finally, Mestre has thought on the group that has touched him to the FC Barcelona in the phase of groups of the Champions League, with PSV Eindhoven, Inter of Milan and Totttenham. "If you aspire to win the Champions League sooner or later touches you play with strong rivals, does not be necessary to have fear. The advantage of the group is that we do not have to go to play very far. Besides, Inter, Tottenham and PSV are attractive to travel to his cities".

And it agrees with Leo Messi in that, this season 2018-19, the Champions League has to be the big aim of the FC Barcelona, above LaLiga Santander and the Glass of Rey. "I agree with he, if all goes well this year would have to give a qualitative jump in the Champions because there is staff to do it". Ernesto Valverde will have to move well the threads.
