"We have made efforts to sign Cancelo because he has shown time and time again that he's a crazy Barcelona fan. That is a rare feeling nowadays in plays, and we are trying to bring it back. I didn't bring anyone in; I just try to do my best. I don't like these accolades; the club is what matters."
"No matter how used to it they are, a debut is tough. Xavi Espart is a player who can contribute a lot to our team. Today was an important and decisive day for the club. From now on, we have to analyse what will be done in the future."
Barcelona's sporting director Deco celebrated Joan Laporta's decisive presidential election victory over rival Victor Font, reflecting strong member backing for the current leadership. Following Barcelona's 5-2 win over Sevilla, where three of Deco's recent signings scored, he deflected personal credit for the transfers, emphasizing the club's importance over individual accolades. Deco highlighted the value of signing players like Cancelo who demonstrate genuine Barcelona passion, a quality he aims to restore. He also praised young defender Xavi Espart's impressive debut performance. When questioned about the club's financial capacity for future signings, Deco remained cautiously optimistic, carefully avoiding specific commitments regarding potential transfers.
