A busy year.

Even before the announcements about the Netherlands, Barcelona president Joan Laporta, who is currently concluding a year since starting his second term in office, was interviewed in honor of the event on the club's official website and provided some interesting quotes about Xavi, Ronald Koeman and Lionel Messi.

"It was one of the busiest years of my life, a lot of things happened and this term is completely different from the previous one," Laporta said in his opening remarks, "We reduced salary expenses, it was important. It was good and we are recovering. "

Laporta had no doubt about the best thing that has happened in the last year at the club: "Xavi's job, he has changed the mentality of the team and its essence. The Catalans have hope again. There are players who are present but also the future. The goal is to build a team that will last a long time. For years, you will play well and win many titles. "

Laporta was in doubt already at the end of last season.

As you may recall, the former midfielder replaced Ronald Koeman, and since then Barcelona has risen from the center of the table to third place thanks to excellent ability.

However, Laporta was also asked to comment on the bad moments this season, under the Dutch coach: "When last season ended I had doubts about his future and I told him that. He wanted to keep going and out of respect for him they gave him another chance. We tried, but things did not go well and we were "We have to make another painful decision. I would have fired him earlier. I would have listened to my intuition."

But with all due respect to Koeman and Xavi, the most significant moment in the last year was without a doubt the departure of the greatest player in the club's history, Lionel Messi, who could not sign a new and cut contract due to the team's precarious financial situation: "The decision on Messi was the saddest. "I did not want to make that decision, but I'm not sorry. We put the club above everything, even the best player. There seemed to be nothing left after he left, but Barcelona's history continues and thanks to the hard work and the right decisions we were able to return to success."

The saddest decision of all.

Together with Juventus and bitter rival Real Madrid, Barcelona have not yet given up on the Super League, and for Laporta, there is still a possibility that their vision will become a reality: "We are taking legal action to make the Super League sustainable and legal, we need to change the UEFA mentality "

Although Killian Ambape is expected to move to rival Real Madrid, Barcelona is still mentioned in the list of candidates to sign the additional wanted player - Arling Holland." Can not say anything about him because the price continues to rise "said Laporta," We intend to strengthen in all positions.

If players land, then others will have to leave, at the moment we are happy with the squad we have, it is competitive.

"

The agreement will include the stadium and the team uniform.

It would be nice to link Barcelona to music. "
