  • Juvenil A. El Barça dismisses Víctor Valdés
  • Reasons: The real reasons for the dismissal of Víctor Valdés

The spokesman of the Board of Directors of FC Barcelona, Josep Vives , said on Tuesday that Víctor Valdés , dismissed as coach of the Juvenile A barely two months after arriving at the club, has not left through the back door but has not wanted to enter detail the details of your departure.

"The club always tries to ensure that people, not only those who are more media references, leave in the best possible way and disagree that Valdés has left through the back door. Although it is not pleasant to put an end to a relationship like this "he said at a press conference. In this regard, he explained that the goodbye of Valdés is due to a "strictly technical" decision, and denied again that he has gone badly by the club, although without giving details of anything. "I understand that they are part of the internal life of the club, as a principle of confidentiality we do not have to comment on these issues," he said.

"I will not comment on the internal processes of the club. I understand that you want to know details but we would do a bad service to the club and to the people. Yes, there have been conversations and contacts, but I am not authorized nor do I think we should comment on the details," he said. In this regard, on those technical issues that have led to their termination, he pointed to a disagreement regarding the club and quarry model . "I do not say that Víctor Valdés did not follow our model. All coaches can make contributions following our club model," he argued.

"It is not a failure"

He denied that Valdés' short stage was a "failure." "I never like to talk about failure. In life, when you fall you have to get up and learn from the fall. But I don't like talking about failure at all. This project, for strictly technical reasons, has not finished working but talking about failure is exaggerated, "he said.

In addition, he believes that the Blaugrana myths do not go wrong in the club. "The great myths of the club have gone very well. There has always been a fantastic entente, I want to remember the departure of Iniesta, the last one, or Xavi or Puyol. Great symbols of the same generation as Valdés that have come out in a magnificent way. It is not true that the great symbols go badly from Barça, "he reiterated.

Of course, he acknowledged that "it always hurts" when a person leaves the club and more with the importance of Valdés. "We wanted his career here to be long and successful, like the player stage, but unfortunately it has not been that way and it is a human and institutional disgust," he explained.

Nor is it known that, as the Valdés environment points out, the president, Josep Maria Bartomeu, has not answered the calls of the former goalkeeper. "I don't know , I don't know to what extent the president has spoken or not with Víctor Valdés these two months, " Vives said.

On the other hand, given that Carles Puyol acknowledged having rejected an offer to be the club's sports director, Vives denied that Barça looked for familiar faces. "Barça shows talent, above all, and does not record cards, and talent card that can then be converted into competitive quality," he said.
