Alfaro Moreno: There is no official or unofficial request for Javier Burrai, nor Emmanuel Martínez

The president of Barcelona, Carlos Alejandro Alfaro Moreno, spoke about the present and the future of the yellow team’s squad, as well as the supposed transfer of Javier Burrai and Emmanuel Martínez to foreign football.

The manager denied that there is any official interest in Javier Burrai and Emmanuel Martínez. “In these last days, Burrai trend number 2, Busts trend 1. I asked what is happening with Burrai that I did not find out? and it turns out that I see that someone confirmed his departure to Russian football and that is absolutely false”.

Alfaro Moreno indicated that no one has shown an official interest. “There is no request, neither official nor unofficial, not a phone call, not an intention for Xavier Burrai to European football. In recent days the player came to talk to us (Aquiles Álvarez and Carlos Alejandro Alfaro Moreno) and asked us – is there something? Because there is so much talk- I replied -Xavier, did someone call you? “He said no, and I said,” Neither do we. “

The principal of the Canarian team confessed that there was interest in several players. “To be honest, in the middle of the year when Barcelona was going through phases and won the group (Liberators cup) before the quarterfinals, before facing Fluminense, they asked us about Javier Burrai, William Riveros, Byron Castillo, Emanuel Martínez, Adonis Preciado that they are players who have entered an important showcase due to Barcelona’s participation at an international level; after that absolutely nothing more ”.

On the future of several members of the yellow team, the former striker added: “All the players I mentioned have a long contract for the entire period of this administrationTherefore, if there is an offer, we will sit down to talk, the decision, as it was made with Fidel Martínez at the time, is made in conjunction with the acceptance and benefit of the player and of course with absolute benefit to the institution that has promoted Players”.

The goals of the 2020 champion team are clear to the Barcelona leadership. “Obviously between now and the end of the year in our economic-financial objective we have the need to transfer one or two players. Some of those that have been mentioned, surely some offer will come before the end of the year or at the end of the year and we will have to make a determination together and for the benefit of the club. As we have always said in our administration we are not going to disarm ourselves in sport ”.

“When the ups and downs occur, don’t expect us to commit madnessYes, bombastic hires. There will be three or four registrations and three or four withdrawals with the intention of continuing to empower ourselves according to our criteria. This is how we are working, this is how we will continue, we have to put our feet on the ground ”, reiterated the president of Barcelona.

Alfaro recalled about the origin of the players who have reinforced the squad in their period. “When the analysis of sports management is made, it must not be forgotten that Barcelona has brought in players who have performed extraordinarily well and have come from Deportivo Cuenca, with all the respect in the world, of Mushuc Runa, The National, Santa Rita, Dolphin, Macara, Guayaquil City, and thus we have tried to do a good sports management, today we had the bad one ”.

Due to the bad moment the team is going through, Carlos Alejandro Alfaro Moreno points out: “Yes, we accept it with nobility, with inflated chest, with integrity, with concern, we are going to take it forward, the Barcelona player is a fighter, a fighter, humble, but without forgetting the other, because if we neglect this financial issue, we do not pay attention to it, we are in serious danger, this situation must always be kept in mind when analyzing sports ”.

“We can sit here and fill ourselves with excuses, the reality is that the elimination of the Copa Libertadores until this part we entered a football crisis due to several factors. There are situations that we have constantly discussed with the group, with the teacher (Fabián Bustos) and we are working hard to move them forward ”, he anticipated.

For the former striker there is nothing to celebrate: “Nobody here is going to celebrate anything because there is nothing to celebrate, if we qualify for the Copa Libertadores is our minimum objective and our obligation as Barcelona to achieve that minimum objective and nobody is going to celebrate anything ”.

The bullfighter leader added that the future of the team will be decided in November. “Just be calm, November is a month of analysis, balance sheets, decisions. There is talk of registrations, there is talk of casualties, it was said that it had already been closed with this coaching staff for continuity, as it was not made official then they begin to talk about other coaches, the reality is that we are in talks And the conversations do not only go through economics, they go through exit clauses, back and forth, so there are situations that must be defined in which it is clear. Our priority is the financial issue, the organization, the economic balance. We are not going to do anything crazy because whoever thinks about his image and is sitting on this side kicks out the coach, hires for next year, sells one; We are not politicians, we are purely Barcelona and sporting people who are trying to carry out an orderly management, without doing any kind of madness ”.
