Josep Maria Bartomeu's problems, of course, did not end the day he reluctantly managed to get Leo Messi to stay at Barcelona.
The Argentine footballer, who already hit the top Barça president in that interview in which he confirmed that he would fulfill the remaining year of his contract by being trapped by his 700 million euro clause, returned this Friday to the charge.
He did it through his official Instagram account, which is lately the tool with which Messi launches his messages.
The reason, the departure of his intimate Luis Suárez, transferred to Atlético de Madrid at no fixed cost, although six million euros in variables, and after the new coach, Ronald Koeman, communicated it by phone in a talk that went around the minute long.
Messi entertained Luis Suárez, but with criticism of the Bartomeu government as a flag: "You deserved to be fired for what you are: one of the most important players in the club's history (...). And not that you They will cast as they did. But the truth is that at this point nothing surprises me, "Messi added, without having to add the recipients of the reproach."
And the Argentine forward continued: "I had already been getting the idea, but today I went into the locker room and the card really fell. How difficult it is going to be not to continue sharing the day-to-day with you, both on the courts and outside. to miss very much. It was many years, many mates, lunches, dinners ... Many things that will never be forgotten, every day together. It will be strange to see you with another shirt, and much more to face you (... I wish you the best in this new challenge. I love you very much, I love you very much. See you soon, friend. "
Luis Suárez himself held back as much as he could on Thursday so as not to turn his farewell act into an atrocious spectacle.
And Bartomeu, who had been the one who had introduced him to the gaze of the Suárez family, Messi, Busquets, Jordi Alba and Sergi Roberto from the chairs arranged in front of the stage, withdrew as soon as he could.
Just in case.
"Now they say that I do wrong to Messi," the Uruguayan had claimed when asked about his relationship with the Argentine, inseparable in his six seasons at Barcelona.
Messi, aware that this summer he has been losing emotional crutches in the locker room (Arturo Vidal was also shown the exit door to sign for Inter), continues to shake the turbulent mandate of Bartomeu, pending now that the signatures that should lead to a vote of no confidence.
