In his acceptance speech yesterday, new Barcelona president Joan Laporta addressed the playing squad directly.
Laporta addressed high profile Barca members at the Nou Camp on Wednesday.
He said, “I want to tell you that I have a special sensitivity with the players. Thank you for coming. You are the ones who give joy to the Barcelona fans. When I posted that thousand square metre banner in Madrid, on Paseo de la Habana, I also put it up for you. I wanted to see you again. I am happy to see you again. You are the soul of this club, which allows it to ride.
“You know me. You will see a president who will be at your disposal. We are here to help you and to protect you. Your work is hard. People think that the life of the player is easy and it is very difficult. You have great talent and you are the key to the club. And now more than ever. Because the boys and girls in this club are more alone than ever because they don’t have the support of the people. Now you have to love them more than ever. With us you will not be alone. And there are no things that make me more excited that you are comfortable in the club. And that’s where we are. In never leaving you alone.”
