"I see some concern among our rivals about how we are signing," says Laporta
The Barça head has responded to critics of the signings he is making to restore the former glory of his club.
After the event organized by UNHCR in New York, Joan Laporta took advantage of the press attention to send a message to all critics of the signings he has been making this summer to revive FC Barcelona. "I see our rivals have some concern about how we are signing," said the head of the club, who spared also words for Bayern in particular.
"I see some rivals a bit uneasy about how we are doing things and that means we are doing them well. All th I don't get involved in what they are doing," Laporta said. "The message we are sending to the soccer world is very clear: we are awake, we are back and we are going to compete for everything. Some had not gauged the strength of Barça and the drive of the new board of directors. Soccer does not wait and we are building a great squad," he added.
FC Barcelona have directly addressed Bayern Munich's sporting officials, who after the transfer of Robert Lewandowski have verbally attacked the club. "I give them the benefit of the doubt because perhaps they thought we could not, but I have noticed a certain lack of knowledge and lack of information on the part of some of their officials. Some have distorted reality. We were indeed in a terminal situation, but we left the hospital with the financial levers and these gentlemen have stayed on a page that we have moved off. We are a club with 122 years of history and very important assets," he responded.
"Comments from Germany? I would tell them to look at their current account, they've got a lot of money coming in for Lewandowski. What they are doing is distorting the reality," said the Barça leader.
