In a recent interview with the media, former FC Barcelona President Gaspart gave a comprehensive and optimistic view of Barcelona's current situation and future prospects. From a sporting point of view, Gaspart firmly believes that Barcelona fans should be full of excitement and hope, as the team's performance is always his main concern and he has expressed a high degree of satisfaction with it.
In the economic sphere, Gaspart showed a strong confidence in the club's financial situation. He made it clear that although he did not vote for current president Laporta, he believes that the club's economic accounts will be subjected to a rigorous audit to ensure transparency and compliance. He further predicted that Barcelona will make a profit in the ordinary budget, thus ending the continuous losses of the past few years and laying a solid economic foundation for the club's long-term development.
Talking about the presidency of Barcelona and future elections, Gaspart revealed an important piece of information: the next general meeting will revert to the format of being held on-site, which is a consensus he reached together with President Laporta. However, Gaspart had reservations about whether Laporta would run in the next elections, saying that it was entirely up to Laporta's personal decision and the ultimate choice of the membership.
In terms of the coaching team, Gaspart spoke highly of Xavi. He emphasized that not only did Xavi win the league title during his time in charge of Barcelona, but it was not just a late-season sprint that led to the victory, which demonstrated his coaching ability and contribution to the team. Gaspart also said that he always believed that Barcelona would do justice to Xavi, as his talent and contribution should not be overlooked or underestimated.
In addition, Gaspart addressed the issue of Barcelona's goalkeeper. He recognized Peña's potential as a young player, but also supported the club's decision to sign a new goalkeeper. He believes that goalkeepers play a crucial role in a soccer team, especially in a luxury club like Barcelona, where a great goalkeeper is needed to ensure the stability and success of the team. Therefore, Gaspart strongly supports the club to strengthen the goalkeeper position in order to further improve the overall strength of the team.
