Javier Saviola, who has scored in the last three games, hopes to continue his goalscoring form to take a victory at Valencia. In this match, he faces one of his favourite players. Pablo Aimar is his compatriot and former team mate at River Plate. "El Pibito", although he has a great understanding with Xavi and Ronaldinho, told our colleague Sergio Escartín of Super Deporte that "Aimar is the player with whom I have had the best partnership on the pitch. I feel proud of having been alongside him on a football ground. Hopefully someday we can play together again, it would be fantastic".
Saviola remembered that in time at River "I had Pablo behind me to unlock the game and to invent something. I enjoyed his passes and seeing him play. I will always have good words for him". Speaking about the match with Valencia, the Barcelona forward explained that "It's a very difficult match because we face one of the best teams in La Liga. It is a team that is very is strong defensively and in attack it has players like Pablo and Mista who are very dangerous. In addition, they have Ayala who is one of the best defenders in the world and in the center of the field Albelda and Baraja, who not only recover balls but can also play great soccer". He added that "To win in the Mestalla is far from easy. We will have to be very alert
because otherwise the match will be very difficult. But I believe that if we play as we did against Atlético, we will have a big chance". Saviola made clear that he is not in favor of making changes in the eleven: "If a team wins it's not necessary to make changes. We are a strong team. We have many players of quality who still have much to show". Finally, and in relation to his nationalisation, Saviola affirmed that, "For our part, we have already taken all the steps. It is proceeding and should soon be over". (translated from elmundodeportivo)
Saviola wants to stay
Barcelona surprised Javier Saviola with the news that they wish to modify the contract that the player signed when he joined them from River Plate in 2001. Apparently, the changes would considerably affect the economic interests of the contract of 'El Pibito'. In spite of rumours that indicated that Barça wants to negotiate a reduction of 15% on the total income of Javier, the total percentage of the deduction is likely to be greater. According to Barcelona sources, when the club decided to carry out this measure, it sent a message by a third party to the manager of the
player. The meeting between the parties took place informally during an event of autograph signings by Saviola at Planet Fútbol. The conversation was between the economic vice-president, Ferran Soriano, the vice-president of the social club, Alfons Godall, and the representative of the player, doctor Alfredo Brizuela Cabrera. Both parties went away in agreement with the proposition to solve the subject without generating friction. "The fans love Javier, 93,000 people applauded him! He feels very good at Barcelona. For that reason he said to me, 'Yes I want to continue at Barça until the contract is finished'. And he has a contract signed until 2007", commented the manager of 'El Pibito'. And in respect to an estimated debt of almost a million euros that the club has with the player, he added: "Yes, it's a debt, but in all aspects we are open to engage in a dialogue to help the club. Our intention is to help in a way which comes quickly and does not harm Javier. It is normal that he thinks that if he fulfills obligations to the club, that the club fulfills theirs to him".
The argument is that the contracts are legally binding and that a unilateral modification of the agreement can be interpreted as dismissal without cause. Javier does not want to arrive at that point and his dream is that everything is solved and he can continue to play for Barça. At first, Barcelona wants to pay the agreed amount but to do it according to the objectives obtained in the UEFA, League or possibly the Champions League. The club is also trying not to pay the agreed image rights and to modify the clause that means that the Argentinian must perceive 6,000 euros for each goal. Gerard and Puyol are others who will be affected by this move.
