Chapter 479 Laporta steps down!
The first thing for Barcelona's new season training camp is the physical examination.
Except for Edmilson, who underwent knee surgery in the summer and is still recovering, everyone else in the team is in good health, but the physical examination is not necessary. Some players inevitably lack self-discipline during the holidays.
The three new aids Thuram, Zambrotta and Good Johnson also came to Gamper Sports City on the first day.
Captain Puyol welcomed them on behalf of the team and introduced them to other players in the dressing room.
The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.
Although Su Dong didn't hold any position in the Barcelona locker room, after the arrival of world-class stars such as Thuram and Zambrotta, he had to deal with it carefully, for fear of accidentally offending the invisible boss in the locker room.
But soon, they realize with astonishment how wrong they were.
Whether Su Dong treated them or others, he was very polite, and his training was meticulous.
Not to mention anything else, just a physical examination.
The instruments and equipment are treated equally to everyone and cannot be faked, and Su Dong's physical data is the best among them.
Other Barcelona players have long been accustomed to this, but the three new players were very surprised.
This is just the end of the holiday, and the new season has not yet arrived.
"After getting along with him for a long time, you will gradually get used to it. For him, it doesn't matter whether there is a holiday, the only difference is whether there is a game or not."
Puyol's grinning words made the three new players feel incredible.
Before I came, I heard a lot, but after I came, I realized that it was even more outrageous than the rumors said.
"No wonder L'Equipe reported that he could rule European football for ten years!" Thuram exclaimed.
……
The team assembled on July [-], and then began to rest.
By the [-]th, everyone, including the international players who participated in the World Cup, had all returned to the team.
Among the twenty teams in La Liga, this is already the latest.
You know, Real Madrid's Capello pulled the Real Madrid stars out of the training camp early, and practiced hard, so that the news just broke out two days ago that the Real Madrid stars had a big fight in training.
In contrast, Barcelona's management is quite loose.
On the 21st, the whole team set off for the Danish port city of Aarhus.
The team had a training camp here last year, and this year they still choose here. Rijkaard has tasted the sweetness.
With the development of the training camp, Barcelona players have gradually felt the changes brought about by the changes in the coaching staff.
When Ten Carter was there before, Rijkaard was like a hands-off shopkeeper. He basically didn't have to worry about training. During training every day, he would stand aside, watch leisurely, and stop and say a few words from time to time.
But Ten Carter became Neskens, and Rijkaard could no longer be so leisurely.
He not only has to participate in the team's training arrangements before the game, but even details the layout of the training ground, the requirements during training, the recovery after training, and the communication with the players. Rijkaard has to be busy from beginning to end.
Not only that, even after the break, he has to worry about the management of the team.
For example, would Ronaldinho sneak out to a nightclub?
There are too many trivial details, which used to be done by Ten Carter, but now it has become Neskens, and the situation is different.
Barcelona quickly found an assistant coach for Rijkaard, the Portuguese legend, Panther Eusebio.
But Eusebio also struggled to fill Ten Cate's vacancy.
In addition to daily management, Rijkaard is also very worried about one thing, and that is the mentality of the players.
With amazing results for two consecutive seasons, a double crown and a triple crown last season, Barcelona can be said to have reached its peak, at least in terms of performance, it is no longer possible to break through.
Rijkaard is very worried that the players will be satisfied with the status quo and will relax because of this, so he communicated with the players almost every day during the training camp to understand their situation.
Ten Carter was originally responsible for these tasks.
At least, Ten Carter was able to overwhelm the players in the past, but now Neskens and Eusebio, who are airborne, do not have enough authority.
After Rijkaard broke his heart, the Barcelona chariot finally drove steadily onto the track.
Whether it is Su Dong, Puyol, or Ronaldinho, everyone is not stupid. They all know that the most dangerous thing after the peak is laxity. They are still very young and have a long way to go. It is impossible to start living on the credit book now.
Therefore, for the time being, everyone is more self-disciplined and self-conscious.
But after a long time, I don't know.
……
When Barcelona was training in Denmark, something happened on the board of directors far away in Barcelona.
The opposition directors of the board of directors formally impeached Chairman Laporta.
The reason is that according to Barcelona's rules and regulations, Laporta has ceased to be the chairman of Barcelona since June [-], but now he is still performing the duties of the chairman of Barcelona, which is an arrogance.
The opposition directors demanded that Barcelona's board of directors immediately impeach Chairman Laporta and immediately organize a presidential election.
This proposal has caused a lot of repercussions in Spanish football, but more people feel that it is like a soap opera, and they don't take it too seriously, thinking that it will be over after a disturbance.
Laporta even came forward to say that the Barcelona board of directors has no intention of carrying out the chairman election in advance for the time being, and his term of office should be until [-], not [-].
He also said that he has the support of the board of directors, it is impossible to accept the opposition's proposal, and he will not compromise!
After the initial confrontation, Laporta, as everyone expected, won a big victory.
But the opposition directors quickly resorted to the second killer move, saying that they would directly sue the Barcelona board of directors in court, on the grounds that the board's decision seriously damaged the interests of Barcelona and violated the wishes of Barcelona members and the majority of Barcelona fans.
"According to the club's constitution, Laporta is no longer the chairman of Barcelona, but the board of directors is now following the wishes of a person who is no longer the chairman of Barcelona. I can't understand how this is going on."
In the eyes of everyone, this is more like a farce.
But as the noise continued, the taste gradually began to change.
At first, Laporta absolutely did not believe that the opposition would appeal to the court. He even said that he himself was a lawyer and the court would not accept such a lawsuit.
Just in August, the Barcelona Court of First Instance announced that it officially accepted the lawsuit submitted by members of the Barcelona board of directors.
This immediately aroused fierce repercussions throughout the Catalonia region, and at the same time caught Barcelona's management by surprise.
Laporta urgently convened a meeting of the members of the bureau to discuss countermeasures, and at the same time appease the Barcelona team who are far away in Denmark and are about to leave for the United States to participate in the North American Invitational Tournament.
In fact, the various incidents that took place in the Nou Camp management had almost no impact on the Barcelona first team.
Everyone knows that this is a matter for the management and has nothing to do with the players. The most important task of the players is to play well.
Therefore, after getting the news, the Barcelona players even took it as a joke and flew to the United States with a playful face.
And shortly after the team arrived in the United States, the judge in Hall No. 30 of the Barcelona Court of First Instance made a judgment, agreeing with the opposition of the Barcelona board of directors, requiring Barcelona to conduct the election of a new chairman and bureau members as soon as possible.
The reason is simple. According to the charter of the Barcelona club, Laporta and his presidium members have ended their terms of office on June [-].
The judge mentioned the fact that in the [-] Barcelona presidential election, the members elected a chairman whose term would end in [-]. However, due to lack of understanding of the club's charter, Laporta now had to end his term a year earlier.
The judge said that this is a very embarrassing situation, because Laporta has actually only served as the chairman for three years and nine days, but the charter is the charter, so he made a judgment requiring Barcelona to conduct a presidential election.
Laporta also quickly convened the management to discuss, because they only had five days to decide whether to appeal, and in the end, they agreed that there was no need to appeal.
Laporta's team is full of confidence in the election victory and is determined to win!
For two consecutive seasons, he has produced such an amazing report card, coupled with the club's financial income is also rising steadily, Laporta's management and operation of Barcelona is also obvious to all, which makes him and his team believe that there is no need to be afraid of the presidential election.
And the facts also proved that according to the poll conducted by the Daily Sports Daily, more than 80.00% of the fans supported Laporta, and only 20.00% of the fans supported Russell, or even less, and the support rate of other candidates was even lower.
In other words, all the opposition combined cannot pose a threat to Laporta.
According to the analysis of the Daily Sports Daily, the early election is actually beneficial to Laporta, because he now has the Triple Crown in his hands and his momentum is in full swing. At this moment, no one can shake his position at all when the election is held at this moment.
Unless there is some serious mistake on Laporta's side that is not forgiven by the fans!
……
After Laporta made a decision, the club immediately put into intensive preparations.
According to the club's charter, there are 34 days to prepare for the general election, and each candidate can officially announce his plan, followed by another [-] days for canvassing.
In other words, the Barcelona presidential election will be scheduled for the end of September.
On the day after Laporta announced his support for the court's decision to hold the presidential election, a member of Barcelona immediately submitted an indictment to the court again, arguing that Laporta had violated the club's charter.
Although the court quickly made a judgment and did not support the Barcelona member's lawsuit, it still made Laporta and others break out in a cold sweat.
You know, Barcelona has 14 members, and now only one person files a lawsuit. What if there are more people?
The means of the opposition are interlocking, and they want Laporta to step down!
