Former coach: Nico s choice is logical in today s football world and does not think Barcelona s approach is inappropriate

June 25 Bilbao fans are extremely angry with Barcelona. They accused Barcelona of tricking Nico Williams into leaving the team and doubting whether Barcelona will abide by the rules set by the La Liga.

Former Bilbao coach Javier Clement believes that the path Nico Williams is currently taking is logical in today's football environment.

"When players succeed in gaining a foothold in Bilbao, they have other goals, such as going further in their careers. Who doesn't want to improve their position on the one hand and improve their financial situation on the other hand, and get more recognition at the same time?"

"When a zealous reporter speaks out, he usually knows nothing about what is happening in the club. We are also laughing at tradition... We bring in a player from outside and put him into our youth camp."

Many people accuse Barcelona of the way they take in pursuit of Nico Williams, and Clement does not think that Barcelona has misbehavior: "I don't think Barcelona's approach is different from other clubs. In football, this kind of thing happens often (negotiating with players with contracts). It's just that at that particular moment, you'll be scolded, but it happens every year."
