Johan Cruyff supports Joan Laporta for La Liga club Barcelona presidency
The legendary Johan Cruyff showed his favor for the return of the ex president to the Barcelona club. Johan Cruyff has stated his support for Joan Laporta in the Barcelona elections. The Dutch has wanted to voice his backing in the campaign headquarters:
"I believe that Laporta is what is needed in Barcelona right now. If Laporta does not win, Barca loses. The image of this club is tarnished, it is being scrutinized by many" said Cruyff to the press. He also talked about the possible acquisition of Paul Pogba by Barcelona: "Pogba is a great player but let us see what is the best move for the team." Laporta seemed happy to have Cruyff on his side: "I have the privilege of counting with his advise, and I will consult him with the sport and non-sport decisions."
