Barcelona president Joan Laporta has launched a new blast at their critics over the Negreira investigation.
Laporta came out fighting in his latest speech, launching into a highly emotional defence of the club at an event held with representatives from its different sections.
“What happens is that some people, who are motivated by jealousy, are trying to damage our reputation by starting campaigns against us which are carried out in bad faith,” he barked.
“You cannot buy or sell what it means to be Barcelona, but you cannot tarnish it either. And recently there have been some ferocious attacks which are trying to tarnish the name of the club but which have nothing to do with reality. And the club’s Board of Directors will defend it all the way.
“Don’t think me getting emotional is a sign of weakness. I’m getting emotional because I really want to face up to all the scoundrels that are trying to tarnish our name. Nobody should think that it’s a sign of a weakness.”
Real Madrid announced on Sunday that they will be represented at the trial should the judge open it up to affected parties.
