Joan Gaspart surprises with his position on Laporta and the 'Xavi case'

The exmandatario of the FC Barcelona, Joan Gaspart, participated the past Tuesday 21 May in the program "The 10 of the Barça". There it gave him the reason to the president Joan Laporta by as it has handled the 'case Xavi'. In his opinion, 'Jan' would have to expect to that it finalise the season and gather with the sportive director, Deco, to argue better the subject and not committing any type of error. "Deco Is the professional. Laporta Has to listen and, afterwards, take a decision consensuada with the Managerial Board".

It continued defending to the president and remembered the exit of Messi. "It seems that all decides it the president and this is not true. We saw it in the subject Messi. Laporta Wanted that Messi continued in the club, but the economic director, fulfilling with his mission, said that no by economic subjects. The gentleman Reverter thought that it did not have to renew and Laporta, against his will, said that it could not renew. The same it happens now with Xavi", said.

On the other hand, it confessed that they did not like him for nothing the statements of Xavi that they were the detonante of the relation with Laporta. "The statements of Xavi did not be mad about me. I am in favour of the freedom of expression, but the trainer of the Barça has to transmit optimism and hope". Likewise, it highlighted the importance of a sportive director. "I always have defended to Xavi, but am not an understood in sportive subjects. And for this have to Deco, so that it analyse and advise the Board".

Gaspart Considers that it has to have some good understandings between the parts involved to avoid problems. "The gentleman Deco has to speak with Xavi and from here has to take the decision. We look for problems where does not have to have them. That it do his work, he is the professional. It has to say him to the president what has to do and after listening it, Laporta and his Board will take the decision that create", affirmed.

Neither the president neither the partners go to allow that it change the model of our club". And it finalised saying that "when more joined are, better.
