First it’s anachronistic and strange that the three Spanish clubs [including Barcelona] can be punished for having children in their academies.
“Anyone who knows their academies knows the children aren’t uprooted, nor are they without teaching. If these children, in excellent conditions, are the ones being punished, something is wrong.
“We’re against, of course, children going uncontrolled to clubs, but that isn’t the case. We’re talking about model clubs. The standard is not correct.
“I’m the father of one of those children and I’ll go [to FIFA] to denounce this situation. They’re taking a chance on the education of these children.
“What needs to be done is FIFA control the other countries where there are problems with children.”
