Eric Abidal is excited to be part of the ticket of Barcelona presidential candidate Joan Laporta.
Laporta says Abidal will be his sports director.
“It is an honour to be next to Laporta," he said. “I'm very excited and am capable of taking on this responsibility.
“Barça is more than a club and we want to continue working this way. I know Joan well and I have a lot of confidence in him and he does in me, too. With [Laporta], when we speak we look each other in the eye and we don't hide anything. It all starts from small things, to find the new Messi, Iniesta, Xavi … I hope all the members share my enthusiasm for this project."
