Everything is still very ‘cool’. Everything is still very clean, that impeccable, immaculate, very white shirt, without a tie, of course, that tailored suit, those shiny, quality shoes, those horn-rimmed glasses and those cardboard, like a glamorous television presenter, in the most pure style of David Letterman. And let alone the environment, pure modernity.
But, for the first time in a long time, that was not the best thing about the appearance of Victor Font. The best of the losing candidate, of the leader of 16,679 homeless members of Barça, has been what he has said and, above all, with the security, presence, memory and forcefulness that he has said. Without looking at a single paper, knowing that he was going to be able to answer, with solvency, everything they asked him. This is not the soft, posh, kid-gloved Font. This is a Font that has grown, yesterday recovering part of the credibility it had.
Someone as rational as Font has ended up arriving, by means other than those he had used before, to the emotional. And, above all, he has shown with his speech, with his serene, deliberate and thoughtful attitude, that another style of Barça is possible, another form of governance and, above all, a much more professional, real, true and transparent model. Nothing of the current presidentialism.
Worse than with ‘Barto’
It is true that many of those who were there yesterday would have wanted to leave, apart from a good handful of headlines (they got it, especially the one who claims that the current Barça is worse than Bartomeu’s), I insist, they would have wanted to leave with the folder of the motion of censure open, announced by Font, who does not consider that the time has come to open the box of thunder yet. It would seem that Font believes that the government of Joan Laporta He can still make more mistakes, fall lower and get worse, and then yes, a motion will be necessary to save the club.
Apart from that excessive anxiety on the part of the audience to start a motion of no confidence, the truth is that Font’s speech was impeccable and, above all, very forceful. Undoubtedly, for the first time in many months, there is a voice that connects with a good part of Barça’s members and supporters, because to the improvisation and confusion denounced by Font in the governance of the club was added, suddenly, that, at 24 years after the final of the Basketball League, the club has announced to Nikola Mirotic that he will not continue at the Palau. Greater chaos, impossible. Greater nonsense, impossible.
Font’s team had a project ‘a la Inter de Miami’, which would allow him to offer Leo Messi a life contract
Font sounded brutal and very real when he said that Barça today is worse than when he left it Josep Maria Bartomeu: more spending, more losses, less equity and more debt. “I don’t understand how they dare to say that they have taken him out of the ICU & rdquor ;.
It sounded very hard that he remembered that the Manchester City He has been European champion “with all the culé talent & rdquor; and, despite the fact that he did not promise, because no one can promise that (indeed, it may never happen), the return of Pep Guardiolasaid that someone like him should form, sooner or later, the future of Barça.
Professionals, not family

It sounded even worse that he pointed out, with enormous skill, mischief and wisdom, that “the creative, intelligent formula and with the complicity of large sponsors used by the Miami Inter To sign Messi, we could have activated it ourselves, two and a half years ago, with Leo and sign a life contract.” And that sounded very, very, solvent. That is to say, while Laporta was taking the cat to water, in the middle of the electoral campaign, talking about “I fix Leo with a barbecue” and, as Font highlighted yesterday, “he hugged the doll” as if that were the way ideal to renew him, Víctor Font and his team had already designed a plan similar to that of david beckham to convert to ‘The flea’ in the eternal player… of Barça.
And it sounded palpable, fair and necessary that with a president “dressed as Superman& rdquor; like Laporta, personalist and protagonist of all decisions, he is not going anywhere. Font wants talent and professionalism at the club; He uses his family and friends to live better, to share his Barcelona spirit.
