Figo: Xavi and Guardiola of the provocateurs of Catalonia
By db-admin
DBasia.news – Pep Guardiola and Xavi Hernandez vigorously voiced the independence of the Catalan from the clutches of Spain. Former Barcelona player Luis Figo has criticized two former team-mates about polemic in Catalonia.
Figo rate, what is often said by two former team-mates had a big impact on society. Instead of reconciling, both of their comments were seen as increasingly aggravating the situation.
“Football shouldn’t be mixed with politics too far. Instead, soccer must be a tool to unite all groups. They are indeed free to argue, but must know their responsibilities,” Figo said quoted from the AS.
The increasingly heated political temperature in Spain has an impact on the course of the LaLiga competition. The match between Barcelona and Real Madrid, which should have been held this month at Camp Nou, is likely to be postponed.
Regarding this delay, Figo hopes that all parties involved can find common ground. According to him, if it is really moved or even postponed, it is a loss.
“All involved must take the best steps. In the end, I thought there was nothing that needed to be changed, from the place to the time of the match. But, don’t let the match be held without spectators,” he said.
Barcelona had a match without spectators at Camp Nou in October 2017 when against Las Palmas. At that time, a few days before the match day, riots broke out in Catalonia. After coordinating, the police finally agreed to guarantee that the match would still be held, because there were no spectators.
