BarcelonaThis Tuesday morning, Barça asked the offices of the Superior Sports Council for the registrations of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor. The legal services of the Superior Sports Council (CSD) are analyzing the appeal presented by the Barcelona club, in the form of a precautionary measure. The resolution, according to the sources consulted by the ARA, could arrive this Friday. This means that neither Olmo nor Víctor, who have both traveled to Saudi Arabia to face Athletic Club this Wednesday (8pm, Movistar) in the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup, will not be able to play.
In the event that the Catalan team overcomes the semi-final and the very precautionary one arrives before Sunday, the two players could indeed take part in an eventual final against the winner of the duel between Real Madrid and Mallorca, who face each other this Thursday (8 p.m. , Movistar). If the CSD does not deliver the precautionary measure, a scenario that cannot be ruled out because it is an exceptional measure, Barça could receive a precautionary measure. In this case, the body chaired by José Manuel Rodríguez Uribes could take about 15 days to make it effective. This would leave the two footballers watching the Spanish Super Cup from the stands – like the injured Marc Bernal, who also wanted to accompany the team – but they could play the rest of the season.
If the CSD denies Barça’s registration requests, as the League and the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) have already done, Joan Laporta’s board would still have the option of returning to ordinary justice for a third time after that on December 27 and 30 the latter dismissed its appeals so that the two Catalan footballers could play.
Raphinha, without hair on the tongue
However, Raphinha and Hansi Flick have been in charge of the squad to attend to the media on the occasion of the preview of the duel against the Basque team. The Brazilian has shown the concern of the dressing room regarding Olmo and Víctor. “It’s a complicated situation and only those who are in that situation know what they’re feeling and can decide about their future. They have to wait and see what happens. The club have told us they’re quite positive that everything will be resolved. But for Dani and Pau it is quite difficult to face this situation”, said Raphinha, one of the captains of the squad despite the fact that this is only his third season as a Barça player.
Raphinha, in fact, has gone one step further and, in an exercise of transparency, has exposed how the situation of Olmo and Víctor affects the credibility of the entity chaired by Laporta. Asked if this case could affect future Barça signings, he said: “I think so. I can’t tell you no, because if I wasn’t I would be lying to you. If I was at another club, I would think about whether it’s best to come here”, expressed the international attacker with Brazil and one of the most respected footballers in the Barça dressing room. Raphinha finished his answer by explaining his case: “In my case, I also knew what the club’s situation was. But I knew there was a percentage of chances of signing for Barça, of wearing this shirt, and I waited. I didn’t I regret nothing.”
