Former Barcelona executive: Messi cried at the press conference when he left, which hurt me. He is the best in the world
Florentino?
Oh, the president of Real Madrid has always been powerful, just like the president of Barcelona or any important club in the world. You just have to look at who will be in the presidential box at the Bernabeu. I don't need to find out, Pique has already said it. See what's out there and we'll understand what it means to be on one side or the other. That is, you're there or nearby, and you have to decide whose side you're on. Because it’s “either me or against me.” Some organizations and lifestyles don’t give you a choice: either with me or against me. That is, you are not neutral. That's no use. You tell me how many journalists in Madrid are not with them... and Atletico Madrid, aren't there more who are against them... that's in the same city. But they are different institutions. Different philosophies, different mindsets, different resources, different support, different influences...it's simple.
What do you think of Frick?
Great. See it from every angle. A coach, in addition to being tactically excellent and clear-minded, must also be a great team manager, a great communicator, a gentleman and a decent representative. I think Flick has all of that.
There is also Yamal. Some Barcelona fans are worried that he will get lost and deviate from the track. Do you share the same concerns?
It's like a child. We control our children when they are little, and when they grow up, they eventually lead their own lives. The person most interested in everything going well is Yamal himself. People worry, and what I'm about to say is also a bit Cruyffian... Yamal does what he wants to do, Ronaldinho does what he wants to do, Messi does what he wants to do, just like Cristiano Ronaldo. Hey, it doesn't depend on what we say to him or how closely we watch him. He's young, success comes early, and he's a world-class, elite player. It’s true that it all needs to be digested, but I insist, I have 100% confidence. I think the person most interested in his good is himself.
