Barcelona Chairman Laporta was interviewed after the Golden Globes ceremony and talked about Yamal's winning of the Copa Award, his expectations for the future and the team's goals for the new season.
What do you think about the results of this Golden Globe Awards Ceremony?
Yamar's second Copa award was very compelling, and I was very happy for Bonmati, and her speech was touching when she stepped onto the stage. I am very satisfied with Bonmati. Her speech is excellent and covers all aspects of family, club, equality, etc. We know that these are the reasons that inspired Bonmati to keep improving. I am also proud and happy for Vicky Lopez.
Yamar won the Copa Award but failed to win the Golden Globe. What do you think about this?
No one has two Copa awards, and I believe this will inspire Yamal more. Now Yamal will fight for the Golden Globes. The scene was very nervous at that time because some people in the theater shouted "Ottoman, Ottoman" (Demberle), while a few of us from Barcelona shouted "Yamar, Yamal".
We had hope, we had Rafinia, Yamal and Pedri nominated, and in the end, Yamal and Dembele reached the final, and I think winning the Champions League played a decisive role. But this is another recognition, no one has two Copa Awards. I believe he will achieve this goal. Time will tell, he is a very talented person. What are the goals of the
team this season?
The goal is to work, work, work again, and continue to fight. We strive to show a high level of strength, we have an excellent coach who is very motivated to build a team and a group. We hope to surpass last year's achievements and we are ambitious.
What do you think of head coach Flick attending the ceremony and Golden Globe winner Dembele?
Our international reputation has been recognized and I am very grateful to head coach Frick for his attendance, who always works constantly. I also thank Dembele for mentioning Barcelona, he did a great job.
Finally, what do you want to say to the fans of Barcelona?
I said to the fans, please keep believing in Barcelona, their patience with certain things is admirable, and they never give up, and we all attribute to our members and fans.
