I’m just from Barcelona scrap, and every game, regardless of the outcome, is a chance to reaffirm it.
Of four years so far, each ridiculous in the Champions League presents a team that was destroyed from Al lor intestines.
When not even Messi is able to save him from disaster, the diagnosis throws him death that when he grows up, he has only his name and history sentence.
From Catalonia, Barça enjoy a protection of its official media that generates only more injured, confusing common fan and provokes expectations that sooner rather than later they hit reality.
And the reality surpasses the results against Roma, Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, which are certainly a shame.
Reality indicates that Josep María Bartomeu and his Szeklers forged a The main plan which turned out perfectly: they were not renewed the team; you they closed the door to career and threw extremely valuable footballers; they signed ori; threw the money; they chose coaches wrong; attacked to club legends led by Messi and end with a flowering, they renewed the players contract unworthy to wear the Barcelona shirt (Clement Lenglet, the best example in this regard).
The amazing thing is that after each paper in the Champions League, the team remained intact, as I know if it was Barça Pep Guardiola who didn’t need to touch anything.
Gerard Piqué, Clement Lenglet, Jordi Alba, Sergi Roberto (then Nelson Semedo and now Serginho Dest) made up Protection who ate three against Roma, four against Liverpool, eight against Bayern and the most recent four against PSG.
And what happened? Nothing. He renewed Piqué and Lenglet Bartomeu before leaving. Jordi Alba, who has been declining for years, has not been assigned a competitor in your position, fine Junior Firpo is a cartoon the football player.
For Eric García, coached at La Masía and now a Manchester City player, they did not want to pay or 10 million euros when a central defender is urgent, but they paid 25 to sign Serginho Dest, 19 years, which remained DISPLAYS Yes OVER in his appearances this season.
At that time they also released 25 kilograms on Firpo, it was a alternate more from Betis. And they let go Marc Cucurella (today selected from Spain), to name just one case, the natural replacement of Alba.
Messi, Piqué, Alba and Busquets, were the protagonists of the wonderful years with Pep Guardiola and | a Luis Enrique; However, today everyone is on top 30 years, and with the exception of Leo, who cannot be questioned nothing at all, the other three have long since lost the best version.
And none of the coaches in the last four years hecatomb (Ernesto Valverde, Quique Setión and now Ronald Koeman), they had vision, daring value to bet on a replacement.
Busquets, one the legend of the club and, at that time, the best in the world in his position, shoot prestige exceeded by speed from matches Yes opponents; Piqué has always been unstable, capable better and worse, but lately, before and after his injury bad version it is the predominant one; and Alba is comfortable, holds his plot, though it has been a long time very big.
Give away Luis Suárez and does not sign a striker; change with Arthur for Pjanic; emergency contract Braithwaite; don’t break up with players like that Umtiti, Sergi Roberto Coutinho; and, of course, leaving Messi alone are just a few reasons destruction of the team.
RECONSTRUCTION
And now, what’s next? This season Barça will go with empty hands regarding headlines it refers to the worst, everything indicates that MESS know will march.
He will be elected on March 7 chairman club and the club must immediately get to work to start a reconstruction It will cost time and (more) pain.
The promises of Joan Laporta Yes Victor Font, in that order, the preferred candidates to win the election, are just that, promises. It is lie that any of them has The magic formula and | or means to sign footballers his size Erling Haaland and take the institution out of the hole.
Whoever arrives will meet the worst economic crisis (and one of the worst sports) in its history, because there is literally no euro to sign. The hopes of concluding a significant contract that represents an immediate solution lie in the fact that Barça can sell.
Do youCoutinho? Who is going to pay the almost 200 million euros that the club threw away for a player whose shirt was huge and as if it was not enough, on his return he was injured?
A Umtiti They didn’t want or borrow it. Of Sergi Roberto the team doesn’t even consider it Exit, beyond that he is clearly a footballer overstated that he never managed to dominate the position of right defender and that as a midfielder there is no guarantee.
Do youJunior Firpo, Braithwaite? How much can I get for these footballers medium hair? Little, very little, and that if some inexperienced are encouraged to hire them in the middle of a pandemic.
So things, Laporte Yes FONT offer ‘mirages‘, I promise to have the perfect project that will be to fall in love A MESS to surround him once again with good footballers and that together they return to FC Barcelona at lead… This will not happen.
From the beginning, Messi has the least times, ni patience, to risk another season of failures, with what Town PSG they are already waiting.
And if the team is already left alone scrap, without Messi will become dust.
In the middle of it all crisis hope always appears and, in the case of Barcelona, Pedram, Ansu fati (injured) and Riqui Puig These are the little lights that the club should cling to.
To them 18 years just returned Pedram is an adult, they talk about you with Messi when he combines on the field, shows a maturity that impresses and, without a doubt, is the football player called Pull the car in the next years.
Fate It started to dazzle, already with a greater continuity in the first team and even in selection, but a knee injury stopped him and he doubted When Yes as may return.
Yes Rique is a gem scattered by Valverde, Setien and now Koeman, but paradoxically with the Dutchman he is tired of despise it, gained minutes based on his good performances. He is a player with Barça’s DNA from head to toe, midfielder organizing, intelligent, which is always a pass option and facilitator of solutions.
It is a fact that with these young people without clothes, there will be no way to start the reconstruction, but from them it should be directed and not make the same mistake of bringing older players. the experience in their positions to prevent them Developing.
technician
Clearly the position remained big A Koeman, because beyond that his defenders can too hide where the team is “transition“, It does not have such a poor staff that it does not even compete in some The eighth final of Champions, to be against the front wall Sevilla on King’s Cup, lose Spanish Super Cup against Athletic Club and be third in the league.
Team not playing well, and the Dutch coach, covered by that school and being directed by Johan Cruyff, it’s not even close to betting on a style offensive, dare and looking for a game colored in the eyes of its millions of followers and detractors.
There were few encounters in which, after leading on the scoreboard with a goal, even against the strong subtle from Spain, Koeman he chooses to defend his score by giving the ball and the initiative of his rivals … And so it went.
One of the latest events that PORTRAITS for the technician, is that after paper home in front PSG (1-4) last Tuesday, five days later, he sent the game against him Cadiz in which they will seek to shorten the distances with Atlético de Madrid, in the same lineup that gave way to the French.Same!
It was not an unbeatable period for a shake? Even the players like it Busquets, Griezmann, Lenglet Yes Dembele sonny indisputable titles and rose to the occasion not to touch them?
Of Antoine it was found that he had returned from the journey pass that he did it after the PSG dance, because his name appeared in “11” that he played yesterday Sunday, but his presence was just as without consequences that in most of the games he’s been in two years club membership.
As it is, the panorama is Darkness wherever he is sought and that does not mean that the incoming president does not have alternative, of course, yes, but ‘to guarantee“Immediate solutions are just one part of your campaign strategy. There are also election periods in Futbol Club Barcelona.
FONT bet all chips on Xavi Hernandez, to whom he would give absolute power in decision making and armed his working group in the first team and in the rest of the organization, with which Jordi Cruyff, Victor Valdes Yes Carles Puyol they would return to the institution.
That’s really the case Xavi I agree to come back this season because, although Font used it as emblem The legendary former midfielder has been nominated several times by the candidate, arguing that he is happy in Qatar.
Yes Laporte attract the experience already good years at the helm of the club, but he did not really expose a project for work. Suppose that talk to the footballers, assumes that MESS believe in him and show yourself magic formulas aliens to change the face of a team overnight sunken… The worst? It is him favorite in polls and by a wide margin.
This is the real picture of Barça, no cheap compliments from the club’s official press after a deceptive victory against Alavés and no analysis pseudo-journalists unable to criticize because I’m talking to knitted azulgrana put.
From Barcelona only scrap, and it is bound to start a reconstruction which will cost years and (more) pain at his hobby …
