The Blaugrana president indicates that “Barça had to get closer to LaLiga”
“Thebes is vehement, but with him you can talk about everything”
The president of Barça, Joan Laportaexplained in his interview with SPORT that the club has approached LaLiga to improve their relations. “I had been thinking about getting closer for a long time. Relations had to be taken for many reasons. Barça as an institution must have good relations with the institutions. There is a good relationship with both Tebas and Rubiales and it’s good for everyone.”
Laporta joked with his character and that of Thebes and acknowledged that they even talked about politics. “With Javier he is a person who can be talked to. He is vehement and I am a bit too. We have also talked about the issue of the Super League. He knows that it is not done with the intention of turning around. Despite the fact that there is a Super League , the national leagues must continue to be respected. Javier Tebas has experience and thinks that the league will have no place. I think we should talk so that it is harmonized”.
The Blaugrana president also spoke about Florentino Pérez. “We talked with Florentino about the Super League and we will see each other on the tour of the United States. The relationship with him is one of institutional harmony and we agree that the Super League can be important for the sustainability of football.” Of course, Laporta assures that he was annoyed by Madrid’s position in the Negreira case in which he appeared in the procedure. “He hurt me and I told him so. They gave me their explanations but hey…”
