FC Barcelona Elections ft. LAPORTA, FREIXA, FONT | Pure Football Podcast

[@varde6965]

FREIXA Can just stop his nonsense ASAP and quit. Don't want another Bartomeou!

[@MrCr1spy1]

Thank you for delivering this in English, all the best, Guillem!

[@ponyboy1664]

Brilliant stuff Guillem. Impressive from the candidates that its in English. What a situation to get themselves in!

[@shauntaylor6040]

Go back to Laporta, he knows the club inside out and rescued it before.

[@vuyanimaster2212]

Laporta would have been my vote of choice if I was a Socio but I hope those who will be voting does the right thing for club and it's future.I saw Laporta here in Cape Town,RZA in 2009 on the day Barca taught MUFC a lesson in the Champions League finale,he visited a black township Khayelitsha(favela,hood) what a humble human being,may God bless him and the team to succeed on the election day

[@Dopebwoyjr]

U got your wish

[@grinchoi1]

I would be excited for any candidate except Tony Freixa. He is in continuation of those other criminals Rosell and Bartomeu. The fact that he even refused to recognize the financial crisis Barcelona is in, because he didn't want to be critical of his friend Bartomeu was all I needed to hear. I was leaning towards Laporta prior to this interview. But of all the candidates he gave the least amount of details about what he is going to do or what his actual plan is. It could very well be that he was very lucky that a once in a lifetime group of players and coach (give him credit for hiring Pep) came together at the right time. Laporta might just be piggybacking his whole campaign on his prior success. Victor Font was actually the most clear on his ideas in this video. I don't know how or when he would be able to get Xavi because Koeman has an additional year left on his contract and as he stated there will be a problem if they don't honor that. However, I have no doubt in my mind Xavi would be the best coach for Barca.

[@Mohamed_Ismail91]

We are lucky because both laporta and font are very good. I'm leaning more to laporta tho.

[@shalinipankaj8612]

I know its highly unlikely but if any oflaporta or font wins I would have had the other one as the vice president as a similar higher position cause I believe that font can handle business side really well and laporta can handle the sporting side well

[@lorenzomunisami6083]

Freixa trying to cover up for Bartomeu and Rosell by lying that the club isn't near bankruptcy

[@sneijder10ish]

I think a Laporta win will be great for the club with Font working with Laporta so he can be the successor once Laporta leaves office. Both great candidates whom can both help the club immensely.

[@althr321]

Freixa says the club is in a “critical situation” and then goes and says the club is nowhere near bankruptcy. Its so obvious that he’s bartomeou’s puppet and will continue running this club to the ground with bartomeou pulling the strings.

[@BC-mj7gj]

I grew up watching Laporta as the president of Barcelona, he's a big admirer of Johan cryuff and la masia. Only Laporta can save us

[@karimC35]

I like font a lot. However I am firmly on laportas side. But maybe Font can try again

[@Airmaxmaxplus]

Same, I think Font ideas are perfect for a healed Barça, maybe Laporta successor, loved his project and bet he learned a lot with this presidential campaign tho

[@waynew5878]

Laporta's way equalled Cruyff, Pep, la masia , 3 teams built that won 3 cl's. Font name drops xavi, but his proposal of xavi managing koeman will destabilise another season. It's far better to get to the end of the season and then plan with one clear leader of the team. Laporta is the only one who is aware of this, it has to be him or its time to write off another 5yrs.

[@Lightbody33]

Victor Font is particularly articulate and clear in his responses but the corporate sell off is troubling. My heart is with Laporta I feel he is the best spokesman and has/will engage the ultimate Barça backroom team to support his project Thank you Guillem and for presenting in English 👏🏻

[@shubhdugar4057]

Anyone but friexa

[@TrueSoltani]

Thank you for this, Guillem!

[@stuartchoo]

Thank you Guillem. Awesome content. Of the 3, Font seems more of a diplomat and to me at least, seems able to compromise and work with various parties to drag Barca out of this hole. LaPorta has the track record, and Freixa is the passionate one. If I have a vote, mine goes to Font.

[@althr321]

Tbh im split between font and laporta. From the football side of things, Laporta is the better option due to his experience and connections. But Font clearly has a plan and seems very knowledgeable in terms of business and could accelerate the club to being financially stable again. I’d be happy with either of but please God let it not be freixa.

[@Tommygunn258]

I hope they can work together, no matter who wins between Laporta or Font. Both have great qualities that can drive the club forward

[@althr321]

@@Tommygunn258 definitely. Laporta to focus on the footballing aspect and font to resolve the financial problems

[@N-vx8qm]

Excellent video Guillem. Big Barca fan here. Fantastic to hear their opinions nonetheless but even for them all to explain it in English. Great privilege for us non-Catalan/Spanish speakers.

[@edgarbyaruhanga6513]

Never seen or heard any of these guys speak, neither do I know much about each of them but to me (based on these short clips only); 1.Font sounds like a Strategy and development type of guy 2. Freixa sounds like a business administration or upper management type guy, 3. Laporta sounds like a politician - speaks generally and tells you what you need to hear.

[@Naimira]

Thank you kindly, Guillem!

[@antoninho528]

Don't get me wrong I love LaPorta for what he did for barca when he was präsident... But now in this video he didn't really tell me much only "work work work" I need something more... Victor font sounds too mee more like he really has a plan!.... And from toni I like that he says straight up we have to tell the players that they can't get the money that they are getting now! ... But still LaPorta is for me the Favorit haha :)

[@vismong102]

Laporta is not going to give out his whole economic strategy he already covers it in his press conference.. and Toni freixia is a fraud himself working for Bartomeu.. they ruined the club he’s one of them... and Victor font hasn’t been there before Laporta has had these experiences and he has connections..

[@pwrofmusic]

Excelent job Guillerm. Thanks for this.

[@ejaylala1]

I think Laporta will win but Font is the most impressive candidate

[@abdulsudaisy]

Font is just hype

[@shalinipankaj8612]

I want lapota to win and have font under him at a high position cause I like font's plan but at this moment we need someone like laporta. The experience would help him in the future and maybe he may succeed next time

[@kingsleyokoroji4485]

I watched it bro... The truth if you listen to all 3 candidate... Victor font seems to have his plans of handling the club well structured, and his strategies also seems to be well documented but there is one major aspect of his personality in all of this that he lacks EXPERIENCE!!! Which is something laporta has to his advantage listening to laporta he does not seem to have a well documented plan or strategy on how he can sustain the club at a time like this but like I said he has been through this route before and he did wonders and so that counts alot... When I listen to tony friexa all I see is lies, and lies as much as he tries to hide it he does not respect messi at all. He must not be the president of our club.. Thats my observation.

[@abdulsudaisy]

The day Friexa becomes the president that day Messi is gone.

[@gabrielkappo5671]

All I see in Toni freixa are lies, lies and lies

[@DManOfficial]

Font is the corporate guy. Is the kind of guy that can take Barca from socios and give all the power to corporations. The club will be stolen from socios. The money will take the decisions, not the real lovers of the club

[@shubhdugar4057]

Right now barça needs money. Our situation is very bad. I would've liked font and laporta to work together. But one thing is for sure if freixa doesn't win I'm happy. Other than that font or laporta I don't mind either of them

[@lordcrayfishgaming]

Thanks a lot Guillem !! Big fan !!

[@nicolasalvarez9762]

Great job Guillem

[@carringtonndhlovu6145]

I'd root for Victor font

[@Mark3rz101]

Font and Laporta. Honestly, we need structure and a coach that has backing, not just a puppet on the bench being maneuvered by the president

[@JonnieBlaze411]

Awesome content Guillem.

[@martinobrien7110]

I don't know if Freixa is offering anything except more of the same .

[@kabalendaye981]

Victor font is more convincing from his perspective hopeful we find the right president who can do the job, laporta talking from his experience I think he knows where to touch to change everything within the club.

[@gabrielkappo5671]

Any of you guys supporting Toni freixa are big fools or may be disguised as Madrid fans Are you aware that this Toni freixa is associated with Sandro Rosell and bartomeu

[@onyxt3589]

Exactly

[@alexinomjonovich4361]

Thank you Guillem Balague as always great professional journalist ! What do you think about Toni Freixa , I read a lot of negative information about him ? And what is your opinion about next Barca president ?

[@daltoncamilleri4702]

Next president laporta or maybe freixa but font it's a no because he could be the next bartemou

[@ivan2026]

@@daltoncamilleri4702 Freixa is the next Bartemou. Freixa worked with both Rossel and Bartemou and is the exact same as those. He lies and lies

[@ayman1509]

@@daltoncamilleri4702 Freixa is the next Bartomeu not Font

[@turkistan10]

This video is made in favor of font but dont forget that even baromeu used to have better plans than Laporta but he failed and font is making all his project based on xavi what if he doesnt succeed? Xavi is just copying Gurdiolas Barcelona so he has to win in a league like that with a tiki taka like that but we r playing in Europe in which even Guardiola struggles , Let Laporta Make us Great again than maybe we will give chance to font or others like bortmeu to ruin and than Pique will make us great again ( maybe )

[@chriswoods5715]

If anyone tries to judge them based on ust these short clips are making fool of themselves. Follow their campaigns and them throughout the time, you will know who the best is out there.

[@abdulsudaisy]

He stinks 😷 of lies.

[@Monkey_SK]

Not sure any of these guys are being very honest. Would be refreshing for someone to come out and say that Barcelona will need time and a complete overhaul. That will mean Messi may very well leave, meaning a new focus on youth and up and coming talent is important, while the financial side is sorted out. But nobody wants to vote for the truth

Yey

[@Zalustic]

Freixa is just a joke like Fartomeou

[@mikep5393]

I think Barca have to move on from Messi. With their current team and financial problems, even with Messi they are not going to be able to put together a side which can challenge for the Champions League. Best to allow him to move on at the end of the season and use the saving in wages to help the club’s finances.

[@stevenclark6209]

is victor font the fav

[@sidhantmalik2104]

Nope. Laporta

[@Pandillatime3]

He would be a good politician but it seems Toni Freixa talks in more detail and has a plan.

[@roshan_a_]

Yep😑

@Maurice Dobson in my opinion this Barca team is scoring 1 or 2 goals against small clubs in Spain. If they beat like Bayern do to the small clubs , I will say Barca team will make a comeback.

[@roshan_a_]

@Maurice Dobson I didn't mention we play against Bayern . I said Barca should develop the team chemistry and they should score More goals against clubs. Pls: I am a PES lover and I hate FIFA .

[@Luis-sz7ry]

@Maurice Dobson actually I did not say that. Quote me if u like. So no, I’m not delusional, ur team is absolutely trash. Shit defence, very very average midfield, very bad attackers or kids and Messi who still carries u lol. No wonder he wants to leave
