With some statements about the transfers from FC Bayern, those responsible at FC Bayern have caused amazement and annoyance in the Catalan camp in recent days. Barca President Joan Laporta has now verbally scolded Julian Nagelsmann, Oliver Kahn and Co. for this.
Barca President Joan Laporta said at a press conference in New York on Friday night that he not only noticed a “certain ignorance” among those responsible at FC Bayern, but also “a lack of information”. In their statements about FC Barcelona, the people of Munich had “distorted the truth”, he criticized the statements of the Bayern bosses.
Julian Nagelsmann in particular has drawn the Catalans’ anger in recent days when the Munich coach openly questioned how the financially troubled FC Barcelona can even afford all the new players. “It’s the only club in the world that has no money but buys any player he wants. It’s kind of weird, kind of crazy,” Nagelsmann said during the record champion’s US tour.
FC Bayern “should take care of themselves”
Laporta has now confirmed that FC Barcelona was in an extremely critical financial situation a year ago. “But we’re a 122-year-old club that has very important assets. You [die Bayern-Bosse] We weren’t aware of the strength and support this club has,” he accused the Bayern officials of half-knowledge about their statements about Barca.
If the Barca president has his way, FC Bayern employees should stay out of the affairs of other clubs in the future. He does not interfere with the interests of other clubs, “so I would ask them not to do this either and not to mess with us. They should take care of themselves,” Laporta sent a clear message to Munich.
