00:00 The objective is to change, to incorporate people and that's the objective.
00:06 We have to improve, if not we'll be left with nothing.
00:09 So the things that haven't done well, we have to change.
00:12 Yes, we'll try.
00:14 I think that the Barcelona fan, the supporter, the partner,
00:18 must understand that the situation is very difficult.
00:21 The situation is complicated.
00:23 Especially at the economic level, to compete with the best competitors,
00:26 both in Madrid and in Spain, and in Europe.
00:29 We have an economic situation that has nothing to do with 25 years ago.
00:34 When the coach came, he said "I want this, this, this and this".
00:38 This is not like that now.
00:41 So we're not in the same conditions as the other clubs
00:45 that have very advantageous fair play situations,
00:48 or a much better economic situation than ours.
00:52 So the Barcelona fan has to understand that.
00:55 I understand it as a coach, I've talked about it with the president, with Deco.
00:58 And we're going to adjust to that.
01:00 That doesn't mean that we don't want to compete and we don't want to fight for the titles.
01:04 But that's the situation of Barça at the moment.
01:07 So I think that the supporter, the fan, must understand
01:11 that we need stability, that we need time,
01:14 but that we'll try and do good things to compete.
