Silent Success vs. Verbose Setbacks: Laporta and Florentino Compared”
The FC Barcelona is back to ‘smiling.’ The Blaugranas have returned to the path of victory in LaLiga after a 1-0 win against Osasuna and have managed to keep a clean sheet in domestic competition almost two months later. Nevertheless, the future for Barcelona looks ‘gray.’ Xavi is out in June, and the Barça campaign is deemed ‘sufficient,’ having conceded 29 goals in 22 LaLiga matches, confirming the worst defensive record since the 2002-2003 season. Amid this uncertainty, ‘El Bar’ by Sique Rodríguez has analyzed the current situation of the Blaugrana team, featuring Joan Laporta, who has been compared to Florentino Pérez by Antón Meana: “Florentino doesn’t give statements; that’s his way of acting. I would like him to speak, but I prefer him not to make statements.”
More Information: “Laporta speaks every day…” In response, Jordi Martí asked the journalist from ‘Cadena SER,’ covering Real Madrid information, about the Mbappé issue, to which Meana explained, “I prefer a president who doesn’t speak, to one who does and says things that are not true. Florentino disagreed with signing Lewandowski because he was already of a certain age.” “Laporta speaks every day, and you’ve been criticizing him a lot. I prefer someone who gets it right over someone who talks all the time and fails permanently,” added Antón.
“A mistake is promising that Messi would stay and it doesn’t happen” “The reality is that Florentino makes very few mistakes,” Meana stated, to which Sique Rodríguez, the program’s director, ironically detailed, “if Mbappé isn’t considered a mistake.” According to the Real Madrid journalist, it wasn’t an error: “Real Madrid did everything possible, and he didn’t want to come. A mistake is promising that Messi would stay and it doesn’t happen.”
“Madrid wants the young players to step up” In addition to the Florentino Pérez – Joan Laporta discussion, Meana addressed the Modric issue: “He won’t renew; Manu Carreño, director of ‘El Larguero,’ confirmed it. Kroos will be presented with a good offer. Madrid wants the young players to step up, and Modric to play less.”
