Deco, Barcelona’s sporting director, made a serious accusation against President Joan Laporta and Blaugrana’s technical director, Xavi Hernandez, before facing Real Sociedad in the 35th round of the Spanish Premier League.
Although the title was won in favor of Real Madrid, Barcelona is struggling to obtain second place in the La Liga standings, a position that will guarantee it participation in the Spanish Super Cup next season with a reward of 8 million euros.
Before facing Real Sociedad, Deco took the opportunity to show his discomfort with the constant leaks of Barcelona news appearing in the press about deals, potential loans, sales and injuries.
When asked about the future of Vitor Roque and the idea that the club would abandon him, Deco replied: “It is natural, when there is no football, that there is news. “It is very difficult to live without football for ten days.”
After that, Deco indirectly accused Laporta and Xavi of leaking the news to the press, saying: “What are we going to do… The discussions must be internal, we cannot reveal what we are going to do.” “Future conversations should be at home, not in the press.”
He added: “There are a few people responsible for managing the club’s football file. Me, president Joan Laporta, coach Xavi… If the news doesn’t come from them, I don’t know where it’s coming from. “We are used to it.”
