This has been a roller coaster these few months in Barcelona, and with the news of a successful first step in a vote of censorship to overturn the board and the president, Josep Maria Bartomeu, there may be more riots in the coming weeks.
The FC Barcelona official points out that 20,687 ballots have been signed to ensure that the vote goes to a stage for now.
At this point, things are balanced on the knife’s edge, but what would it mean for Lionel Messi and Ronald Koeman if Bartomeu nevertheless fell into his sword about 8 months before leaving the workplace anyway?
For the club’s captain, Messi, this would possibly be the only resolution that will see him absolutely opposed to his goal of moving to Manchester City or at the end of the existing campaign.
Former President Joan Laporta is known to need to run again for the most sensible task, and Leo’s quotes with him are well documented.
In fact, it was Laporta who oversaw Pep Guardiola’s time of great success, and still did not hesitate to say that Messi is the focal point of any Blue Gear team.
Victor Font, a candidate for office, also assured that Messi remained at the center of all conversations about his candidacy.
He’s got an ace up his sleeve.
If Font is chosen, Carles Puyol is expected to return to the club with Xavi and Jordi Cruyff.
The news may not be so pleasant for Ronald Koeman, as Font has said Xavi will be his coach.
“If I’m president, Koeman won’t be Barca’s coach in the 2021–22 season,” Font said, according to The Sun.
Xavi understands that all the club puzzles will have to be put together. “
Koeman may not even have a full season at this rate, which is a disgrace if he has just achieved the task of his dreams.
Unfortunately it is football, and as Josep Maria Bartomeu will also be about to locate outside, there is no place to feel in the game.
