Captains: from designated to necessary
On Sunday morning, the board regretted the salary of the ‘sacred cows’ and at night, Xavi had to pull them to save three points. Last Sunday was a day of contrasts for the four Barça captains. In the morning, in an Assembly that lasted until seven in the afternoon, the board of directors pointed out to the delegates as an economic problem that hindered the proper functioning of the club because of their salaries, but at night, their coach, Xavi Hernández had to resort to them to win three points that allow the team to maintain the lead . In the assembly, the president, Joan Laporta and the economic vice president Eduard Romeu and especially Mateu Alemany, director of Football, put them on the spot: “When we arrived, we detected a general overpricing in salaries compared to the market price. They blocked our salaries and the ability to transfer and had a very serious effect due to the absolute blockade of LaLiga.
The details regarding the whole situation as full
Last season we were subjected to the 1-4 rule by LaLiga. It is true that 75% of those salaries are gone and we continue with the philosophy of adjusting salaries to fairplay. These players are impossible to transfer and otherwise tax fairplay. They are wages outside the market, the goal is to make them disappear”. But at game time, Xavi lined up Piqué, greeted with applause, as well as Busquets and Alba, who were dismissed with timid whistles. In the second part, to tie the result, he turned to Sergi Roberto. The two faces of Barça in the same day. Only thing we have to do at this point is to wait and see what is going to happen. Time will show us what will happen to the team and everyone else who is awaiting the decisions
