Laporta: Real Madrid TV s use of public opinion to pressure referees is out of proportion, and Barcelona will not be affected

Hupu News on October 26th This weekend, Chairman Basara Porta visited Lepe, Huelva Province, to attend the 15th Congress of the FC Barcelona Fans Association in Andalusia, Ceuta and Melilla. During his speech on Saturday, he also touched on a variety of topics and situations.

About the current situation of the club

The current situation of the club is better than before, and we have never been trapped by those doomsday predictions. The members of the Board of Directors and I are working with unprecedented determination to promote the comprehensive revitalization of Barcelona in all areas. This belief comes from you, the eternal spiritual pillar of Barcelona. Please work with us to defend the glory of the team emblem and accompany the team through the wind and rain with more ardent support.

Would you like to send an inspiring message to Barcelona fans? What is your opinion on this game?

El Clasico is a top-level competition, and every player is eager to show his best style here. I know our players are full of fighting spirit and we are sure to win no matter who comes on the court. I have no doubt that they will bring us the joy of victory. Winning at the Bernabeu is becoming more and more normal for us. Just like last year.

Do you think the team is fully prepared now?

We are fighting for the top spot in the league, which definitely gives us extra motivation. In fact, after training last night, I had dinner with the team and I could feel their high morale and high level of focus.

Flick is unable to supervise the battle from the bench. What does he think of this?

The head coach knew that he could not be present in person. Although we submitted the last appeal for a stay of execution, it was not approved. Although Flick is unable to attend, Marcus Sorg will take his place. Frick kept encouraging him, and both of them were full of enthusiasm.

I don’t mean to criticize the referee, but there are indeed some situations worthy of reflection. The first yellow card was indeed the referee's decision, but he seemed to be waiting for the coach's reaction.

When you are shown a yellow card, you will naturally not be happy. In my opinion, this waiting for a reaction is somewhat deliberate and could have been avoided. However, Frick has somewhat accepted this.

About the feeling of watching the game in the Bernabeu box

It is indeed true, it is one of the most wonderful feelings in life. For Barcelona fans, the Bernabeu itself is full of passion and expectations, making people fully absorbed in the game and atmosphere. It would be even more perfect if we can still win the game. I was lucky enough to experience those classic battles and some other special moments, which are really great memories.

In the box, you do have to work hard to control yourself, but if you win, this restraint is also a pleasure. Although everyone says this is just an ordinary game, it is never ordinary and it affects the entire situation. If we win - and I'm sure the players will give it their all to keep us top of the table - it will mark our upward momentum.

What do you think of the cancellation of the Miami game?

We respect La Liga’s decision, but I don’t agree with their view that this event will distort league competition. In addition, we have been on an excellent winning streak against Villarreal at the Estadio Ceramica, a game that promotes La Liga and brings in a significant amount of revenue that will benefit the entire league.

Is this originally considered a major achievement?

There is no doubt that participating clubs can gain certain benefits from it, because it can bring us sponsorship opportunities and is also a way to promote the image of Barcelona. The proposal was originally brought to us by them and we thought it was a good idea and decided to get involved.

The reaction of the players' union, the reaction of the players, and Real Madrid's subsequent submission of the matter to the Spanish Superior Sports Council (CSD) are all reasonable in themselves, and everyone is doing what they think should be done. But I think this has had a certain negative impact on La Liga.

Talking about the upcoming El Clasico

The whole team is ready for this peak showdown, and we firmly believe that the players will bring good results. The tactics used by some opponents to manipulate public opinion and pressure referees through their TV stations are really out of character. Barcelona never indulges in victimhood. Our only goal tomorrow is to conquer the Bernabeu!
