Leaden sky in the Ciutat Esportiva and maximum happiness on earth. Two friends meet again with good vibes as their flag. They share others, that of Barça and that of their love for sport. Aitana Bonmatí and Cesc Escolà, each one a benchmark in their own way, decide to take on the challenge of ‘even more difficult’ to achieve the impossible photograph.
“I know few people as competitive as her – he acknowledges – and the truth is that, sometimes, I tell her that it would be good for her to disconnect a little from football to rest. But she sets him the challenge and improves day by day. That’s why she is where she is she & rdquor ;. Cesc’s admiration is reciprocated by Aitana, who considers “it is very important that he lead a program to help and make the population aware of the importance of doing physical exercise. It is very different from the training that I do every day but, after all, it is sport & rdquor ;.
Escolà watches and listens to her. “It seems serious but the truth is that it is very funny,” he says. He has very clear ideas and has been a benchmark since he was little, both on and off the pitch. And each season that passes will be more & rdquor ;. And he adds that “Barça Femení is going to achieve the treble again, I have it very clear. They are the best by far and living history of our club. The men’s first team would have to learn a lot from them.”
I speak with Aitana before and after adding a new League title. Some have detracted from him due to his overwhelming superiority, to which the midfielder replies that “the easiest thing is to say this type of inconsistency. That if it is very simple, that if we have no rival, that if it is boring… Why, instead of belittling our work, don’t they criticize all those clubs that don’t really believe in having a more attractive and competitive League? I am very calm and proud of what we are doing at Barça. Without going any further, four years ago and with almost the same team, with a bit of luck we won the Cup. Nothing more. We enjoy this moment thanks to our work, dedication, ambition and desire to improve.” Pam. More forcefulness, impossible.
Cesc promises her that he will go to see the Champions League match and Aitana acknowledges that “Playing at the Camp Nou against Real Madrid is going to be amazing. I would like to ask everyone who has withdrawn a ticket to attend, that we are going to make history & rdquor;. Enjoy the moment?. Maybe not as much as it should. Although everything happens so fast that I don’t even have time “to stop and think about how everything has changed and the repercussions to which we are exposed day by day, my self-pressure and self-demand drives me more than what happens abroad & rdquor ;. Well, outside, Aitana, everyone enjoys you. of you. Of this unique Barça.
A necessary program
Cesc Escolà made the leap to popularity as a Physical Education teacher in ‘Operación Triunfo’. After a book and several TV shows, he hosts ‘Fit Més’, which is now a hit on RTVE. “It is a very complete product -he explains- because never before has training been combined with an interview with the guest. It is a way to get to know him better and for him to gain confidence. They have come from all fitness levels: people who do a lot, little or no sport. With ‘Fit Més’ we intend to motivate and explain the benefits of daily practice. It is a necessary program & rdquor;
