Former Barca president: Regret over Koeman's dismissal Harvey's good fortune is Barca's good fortune

Live bar October 29, 2019 Former Barca president Joan Gasparte was interviewed by El confidential, and he talked about Barca's change of manager.

<b>About Koeman</b>

"Whether you like it or not, that's how football works. It's easier to fire a coach than to fire all the players. Koeman used to be a fantastic Barca player and I felt terrible about his dismissal because I was his friend and I admired him very much. If they give Koeman some more time, he'll do a good job. Although Koeman and Cruyff belong to the same country, their playing styles are different, which has always been a problem for Koeman. The nature of the game depends on the players you have. Let's forget that this team doesn't have Puyol, Iniesta, Xavi, Messi... With these players, Barca can play better football than they do now. ”

<b>About Xavi coaching Barca</b>

"Given the results, is it too early for Guardiola to coach Barca? He only coached the youth team, and then look at Luis Enrique, why not? Everyone thinks they have no experience, and then the results come out. I wish Xavi good luck because his good luck is the good luck of all Barca fans. Over the years, he has proven that becoming a Barcelona manager is one of his dreams.

<b>About Barcelona</b>

"At Barca, no shift is not worth it, and I believe in the homegrown players who have gone into the first team after signing. It must be said that the focus of our attention has always been on Barca, as if this is the only team with financial problems, but it is not. All teams have this problem and the pandemic has taken a toll on them. ”

<b>About the Champions League</b>

"Barca are still able to win the Champions League and La Liga because there are still a lot of league titles and the cup hasn't really started yet. A person may make mistakes, but a person without optimism will not be happy. I've seen things more difficult than that in football. I hope we can achieve what we want in the future, but winning a championship is never an easy task. If we do not succeed, we will need to continue the challenge next year. ”

<b>Barca lost 439 million euros last season and will it be converted to a company operation</b>

This will never happen, and the partners at this club will not allow it. Barça will continue to be owned by 150,000 members, not by a country, a fund or a millionaire, and the nature of Barça's history will not change.
