The club president Sandro Rosell
Accused former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola of "lying" about his
accusations to his management by trading the disease of current coach Tito
Vilanova in order to inflict damage.
Rosell lied what Guardiola said
during a press conference after receiving the training tasks of Bayern Munich,
saying during a television interview, "it has hit us his surprise,
everything he said about our Board wrong, and we did like it".
He added "We did not take
advantage of Tito's disease, so I do not understand why he said it, Guardiola's
remarks are shocking, and when someone accuses must be documented charged with
the evidence."
And what Guardiola said also on
harassment of management to him and not leave him in would later leave for New
York, Russell responded, "I do not understand why in order to Guardiola
that we did not leave it to the will, since the day he left the Camp Nou until
the weekend, when congratulated him to move to Bayern, did not talk with him at
all.”
Russell called fans Barca to
maintain the same Guardiola image as a "living legend of the club and the
best coach in history" despite his recent comments, stressing "We
must learn from the mistakes of the past when fans divided between supporters
and opponents of Johan Cruyff, do not want now supporters and opponents of
Guardiola."
"This brouhaha is not good
for Barca, but it should not tarnish his wonderful training reputation."
And about the relationship
between Guardiola and Vilanova, Russell commented "Lord remunerates for
talking about a relationship between two people, this affair belongs to them,
and I do not want to go into those things."
I think that Guardiola is a big
coach and Barcelona lost a lot of things by leaving this legend.
