Barcelona sporting director Anderson Luis de Souza ‘Deco’ has confirmed that they will be able to count on Dani Olmo and Pau Victor in the Spanish Super Cup final after the Superior Sports Council (CSD) upheld the urgent precautionary measure requested by both players on Wednesday.
"We were united before the decision and now we are even more so, knowing that if we win today we can be in a final and the players will be able to count on their team-mates (Olmo and Victor)," said Deco in statements to 'Movistar+' ahead of the semi-final against Athletic Club.
The Barcelona sporting director assured that the CSD's decision, which is provisional until the appeal is finally resolved, has "given reason" to the club and "this is the most important thing".
"The club is doing things well, as well as possible. Whether we are right or not, these are matters of justice, I'm not going to assess them. But if they have given us the reason for the moment, it is because they have seen that we are right", he argued.
When asked about the statements made by the Athletic Club president Jon Uriarte, who described the "situations" related to the registration of Olmo and Pau Victor as "grotesque", Deco responded that "he has to worry about his own business" because "each club has its own problems and difficulties".
Finally, the Portuguese assessed Raphinha's statements at Tuesday's press conference: "These are issues that the players don't understand, they are a bit lost in the news, they don't know if it's exaggerated. They try as much as possible to stay out of it. Seeing a team-mate training and not being able to play hurts them. Now they are even more with them because if we win today we can be in the final and be with them".
