Josep Ferrando, interim coach of the Eldense, club of the second category of Spanish football, recognized in a press conference that the blaugrana team is “expecting” before the possible arrival of Lionel Messi as the new owner of the club.

Still, the coach, who until last Sunday served as an assistant to the destitute Claudio Barragán, said that “we have tried to completely isolate ourselves to focus on the match with Sporting Gijón with which we have a key match”.
