In a bizarre statement to maybe get some support from the Barcelona Socios, presidential candidate Antoni Freixa made a strange accusation real Madrid president Florentino Perez.
Freixa is believed to be behind Victor Font and favorite Joan Laporta for the role of president at Barcelona, but he is yet to give up. The presidential election will take place on March 7, and tension between the candidates is already on the rise.
According to AS, Freixa has also been quite vocal against Laporta and Font and has not hesitated to search the La Liga referees.
Barcelona’s Freixa says he won’t let Real Madrid president ‘VARentino’ Perez control La Liga
Just when it looked like Barcelona weren’t getting enough media coverage due to the club’s financial crisis and Lionel Messi’s future, Freiza came up with an odd slogan for the election.
A poster that reads “I will not allow VARentino to control La Liga” can be seen around bus stops across Barcelona, and it’s likely to capture the imaginations of Socios if it hasn’t already.
The Socios will vote for a new president in March, and perhaps Freixa felt there was a need to find something that everyone in town would agree on.
Of course, there is no evidence that Real Madrid president Florentino Perez actually controls the behind-the-scenes aspects of La Liga or as far as the VAR room and officials are concerned. But it will certainly heat up the race for president.
The next presidential election will be important because the club are not in the best positions at the moment. Silverware looks unlikely again this season and the future of Lionel messi is also in the air.
Unlike Real Madrid, Barcelona have a small chance to advance in the UEFA Champions League this season and also have a big disadvantage in the Copa Del Rey. There is a chance of winning La Liga, but even that is not in their hands at the moment, with Atletico Madrid currently leading the league table.
Barcelona will need a bit of stability in the years to come and the running behind the scenes needs to improve for results to improve on the pitch.
