Catalan Product, Barca Quality

Barcelona, ​​Whose ‘Catalan Product, Barca Quality’ Slogan to Appany the Move has done little to quelle the anger, now have three establised goalkeepers on their books-Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Wojciech Szczesny and Garcia. That emphasises the gulf in resources between them and espanyol, even if Germany international ter stegen is likely to move on.

Collet, Who Was Espanyol President Between 2012 and 2016, Said: “The aggravating factor is that a boy from our academy, who had been here for many years, who has risen, has grown, knows Our Feelings, Our Principles, Our Way of Being, Our Daily Struggle Against a Monster that Eats Everything, and has gone with the monster. ”

Hopefully No Pig’s Head for Garcia

After Dismissing Garcia’s Farewell Message with a terse “Goodbye, Close the Door,” Collet Did Call for Call Ahead of What Should from Two Tense Liga Clashes Next Season.

Rather than opt for a pig’s head, the infamous object thrown at Luis Figo by Furious Barca Fans when He Returned to Camp Nou with Real Madrid, Collet Believes Something More Poignant Should be used.

“He has gone to the club that did what they did with figo, with a pig’s head and banners Wishing he was dead. I hope that do not happen with our fans,” He Said.

“I want there to be whistles but with the violence or insults.

“We must be imaginative.
