The players of the FC Barcelona that were nominated and that formed part of the Eleven Ideal of the FIFPro in the FIFA The Best 2016, Gerard Hammered, Andrés Iniesta, Leo Messi and Luis Suárez, did not assist this past Monday to the gala of delivery of prizes and opted for preparing of the best possible way the party of turn of eighth of final of Glass of the King in front of the Athletic of Bilbao.
Although the Real Madrid did exactly the same in 2011, from the daily "Mark" inform that Andrés Iniesta, captain of the FC Barcelona, had the good gesture to telephone to some of the players of the Real Madrid to excuse personally by the no assistance to the gala.
It did not have the manchego any need to do it, since it already had sent to the FIFA an explanatory video and of apologies, but even so the gesture of the of Fuentealbilla denotes the professionalism of a changing room, the one of the Barça, engaged to the one hundred by one hundred with the sportive field.
The FC Barcelona, centred in the sportive plane
The president of the FC Barcelona, Josep Maria Bartomeu, also would have moved his apologies to the directive of the Real Madrid, in spite of the last statements of players that, as Christian, Modric or Marcelo, did not understand of the all the absence of the players culés.
Others like Maradona, Roberto Carlos or Ronaldo Nazário criticised openly to Leo Messi and to the Barça, but the blaugrana are immune and know that the football does not consist in celebrating prizes, but in winning them on the terrains of game. The "postureos" remain aside.
