In the last months has avoided unnecessary controversies, but after some time, Josep Maria Bartomeu has reviewed the actuality of the FC Barcelona. The president has conceded an interview to 'The Crossbar' of the 'Chain BE', and has confronted to some of the questions that have rondado by the Camp Nou.

Perhaps his more cutting posture has been to the hour to value to Ernesto Valverde, denying with rotundity the rumours that circulated on a possible unrest by the elimination of the Champions: "This is false. It is two years old of agreement and east is his project. We are very happy with him. I speak regularly with him. We have not spoken of this subject. After what did in summer, anybody can doubt of Valverde. The of Rome knew us badly to all. Anybody of the directive doubted of Valverde in any moment".

"We value everything. The Glass, how play. Ojalá Can achieve LaLiga. Win the doublet would be a dream, coming of where came. I think that Valverde has been a very important person for this. We happen the duel of the exit of Neymar and recover us in League. Rome has been a hard hit. It could not be. It has been almost the only party that have lost this year. It was a thump of the that have replaced us. To see if we can sing the alirón against the Dépor", has added.

"Rome has been a hard hit, could not be, has been almost the only party that have lost this year"

With regard to the change of style that is living in the City Condal, has done a reflection. "It is an important debate and always has concerned us. I think that we have changed from the past season because it has gone Neymar. The trident was something spectacular and his absence has forced to Valverde to vary. It is truth that the form to play has changed. Ernesto is an intelligent uncle, that knows to read the parties and do the changes".

On the comparisons with the Real Madrid also has pronounced , but has tried to calm the waters: "The doublet would be excellent. It does not achieve all the years. It does not have at all that see what do the Madrid. For us it is a feat, an attainment, and like such it is necessary to value it. We are the team of Europe that more titles has won from 2004. I prefer not thinking of the rivals because it can go out me better".

Andrés Iniesta will take his own decisions

To the hour to value the future of Andrés Iniesta, the leader has showed very wary, because it is a question that considers property of the captain. "Claro that know things of Iniesta, but want to that it say it he. When it want to say it, it will say it. For us it is the player that has marked this era and deserves speak when it want to", has defended Bartomeu.

"From 2004 up to now, it is the most important that have had because it has been in all the projects of all the trainers from Rijkaard", has explained, insisting in that to communicate his final decision it will be necessary to expect: "This will have to say it Iniesta. Explain it he. I can not advance at all in this regard. We have to respect him after the path that has had here. All the parents would wish to have a son like Andrés".

Catalonia and the controversies

In addition to thinking on some concrete cases, the president of the Barça has 'wetted' on the Catalan conflict, giving his particular vision like dirigiente of the club: "In Catalonia live a moment complex socially and in this club have some principles and some values that defend, but try not taking part in the politics. Like club support to the Catalans, but in all his diversity".

"We do not take party, but support principles like the freedom of expression, the right to decide, the democracy, the respect and the dialogue like road to solve the problems. We have asked him to the politicians that speak and look for a political solution to a political problem", has specified.

Something more elusive has showed when speaking on other subjects, avoiding pillarse the fingers in questions like the corridor, the signing of Antoine Griezmann, the future of Robert Fernández or the usual comments of Gerard Hammered. Instead, yes it has launched a warning to Javier Thebes, that has taken it often against the Barcelona. "It would come well calm the spirits sometimes. Sometimes it says and it does demonstrations that does not correspond him neither help to the convivencia", has warned.

In relation to Leo Messi also has been conclusive. "I do not have doubts that it is the best of the world. I do not decide the Balloons of Gold, but 'France Football' and they have his rules", has declared with a surprising message with regard to the possible signing of Neymar by the Real Madrid: "it likes Me that the cracks play in LaLiga and of course that would go back to fichar to Neymar".
