Laporta, who was speaking in Cadiz ahead of Barca’s LaLiga meeting with the Andalusians on Thursday, said the board would not shirk tough decisions if they needed to be made and added that he wanted the club to play better football.The struggling Catalan giants attempted 54 crosses in Monday’s drab 1-1 draw at home to Granada, leading some in the Spanish media to compare them to English side Stoke City, who became known for their direct approach under former manager Tony Pulis. The result came after a meek performance in a 3-0 defeat at home to Bayern Munich in the Champions League.”Koeman’s future won’t be decided tonight. He’s the Barca coach and we want things to go well for him,” Laporta said.”Coach’s (futures), not just Koeman, are obviously very determined by their results and in Barca’s case also by the style of play. But Koeman’s our coach and today we’re behind him.”For us (the board) we don’t have any issues in taking any kind of decisions, and you need to make them sometimes. If we need to, whether it’s economic, sporting, or social, we will do so.”Barca currently sit eighth in the LaLiga standings with eight points from four games, eight behind league leaders Real Madrid who have played two games more.Click here for our site’s complete coverage of the coronavirus pandemic.

The controversy of the Adi Purush – the result of the conflict of not accepting change.

For the last two days, a discussion between my colleagues and colleagues is in full swing. The teaser of the film Adipurush has been released on Sunday and with the release, a ruckus started on it. After seeing the teaser, some people are of the opinion that this is an injury on the Hindu faith, then someone feels that their deities and feelings are being made fun of.
