Former Barcelona player Ronald de Boer is unhappy with his old team’s behavior, which seems to be taking advantage of opponents who follow the rules.
Former Netherlands midfielder Ronald de Boer has reveal on Dutch television on Sunday that he is not impress with Barcelona’s handling of the club’s controversial signings Daniel Olmo and Pau Victor.
However, the Blaugrana were unable to register the playmaker due to their ongoing financial struggles, the same applied with Victor, 23, who joined from Girona in July.
That was until Hansi Flick’s side lost สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน Andreas Christensen to a long-term injury and that allowed them to register Olmo as an emergency player until December 31, 2024.
Nevertheless, the Catalan giants finally received the green light to register both players after appealing to the Higher Sports Council (CSD).
The CSD defended their unprecedented decision by claiming that preventing the registration of both Olmo and Victor would cause significant harm to the players, the club and the Spanish national team.
De Boer, who play for Barcelona during the 1999-2000 season, said of his former club: ‘It’s very sad that a beautiful club like Barca is still allow to cheat. Where I was, playing with UNICEF on the shirt, other clubs played by the rules, they were trying to survive.’
‘But Barcelona are allow to do everything, which is crazy. If they were a company, they would have filed for bankruptcy.’
‘It’s ridiculous, it’s become a soap opera, they just want to continue competing with Real Madrid and they hate the fact that Real Madrid is still successful.’
Several clubs, such as Atletico Madrid, intend to appeal the decision and LaLiga have launched a legal battle.
That could lead to a possible punishment of the CSD’s ruling being declare as null and void.
