Joan Laporta had all his heavy artillery ready to fire if necessary. However, the threat was enough to reach an agreement with the CSD.
Barça's president asserted himself before the members of the Sporting High Council. He denounced the outrage the Federation and LaLiga intended to carry out against his club. Precisely, the club that best defends the interests of the Spanish national team.
Nothing Would be the Same in the Future
There is also the conspiracy against two national players who have defended La Roja. In Olmo's case, it was done brilliantly, winning the Nations League and the Euro Cup.
Laporta made it clear to the Spanish sports officials that the contribution of the club that shows the most commitment to the national teams was at stake. Nothing would be the same in the future if FC Barcelona felt persecuted by Spanish sports itself.
Those at the CSD thought of "the other," Real Madrid. They though of their tendency to transfer, transfer and transfer foreigners while the national teams are filled with Barça players.
Barça is Vital for Spanish Sports
At the highest legal entity of Spanish sports, the work Barça does with its youth academy is properly valued. They acknowledge the benefit Spain and its national teams gain from it.
Every player who emerges at FC Barcelona at a young age ends up serving the Spanish national team. A very successful national team in recent times.
The same as it was fifteen years ago, when La Roja won the World Cup and two Euro Cups with a majority of Barcelona players.
End to Barça's Collaborative Spirit
Laporta has recalled the continuous injuries of Barça players that occurred while defending Spain's jersey. Without threatening, he made it clear that this collaborative spirit could come to an end.
Barça didn't intend to prevent its players from answering the national team's call. However, it was clear that, if the physical condition wasn't clear or the interests of the club could be harmed, there would be no willingness to release them.
The CSD assessed the risk that having Barça against them poses to Spanish sports. They sought from the outset a diplomatic solution that would benefit everyone, but especially Spanish soccer. Spain can't afford to turn its back on Barça.
Laporta played his cards well and won the game. He knows, however, that LaLiga and the Federation will keep meddling.
