Xavi Hernandez It’s already the past at FC Barcelona. This Friday the club announced the dismissal of the technical director, who is one of the greatest idols in the history of the institution for what he has done as a footballer, but who has just been added to the list of “Blaugrana” symbols that have been left ‘through the back door’. We review background.
One of the most significant cases, due to the player’s decision. Figo was one of the Barça leaders and a symbol for everyone, but he surprisingly left for the classic rival Real Madrid! as the most expensive signing in history at that time: 60,000,000. From that moment on he became one of the greatest public enemies for the Blaugrana people.
What a player please! He spent five years, arriving in a stage of crisis and broke it all. In mid-2008 the relationship with the leadership broke down and there were no goodbyes! “Pep asked me to stay at the club,” Ronadlinho said years later, but he decided to leave. He left through the back door after the last two years of injuries, poor performances and late nights.
He spent eight years at the club as a footballer, and had to leave due to a bad relationship with the press and the leaders. In the European Cup final in 1986, he left the stadium after being replaced and followed the outcome from the top of the taxi. As if that were not enough, he left for classic rival Real Madrid…
The most recent case and the trigger. The current president of Barcelona, ​​Joan Laporta, informed Xavi that he will not continue to be the coach of the first team, so he was dismissed. Hard farewell for one of the best footballers in the club’s history, driver of the historic team led by Guardiola, perhaps the best cast in all of world football. Hurts.
Although he achieved everything there was as a coach at the club, Pep did not emigrate happily during his time as a player. In 2000 he suffered a serious injury, Xavi appeared and the player who emerged from the “Blaugrana” quarry began to be relegated, so he had to leave.
During his time as a footballer, he managed to become champion after 14 years. Although he was able to say goodbye to the people, he went to soccer in the United States fighting with some leaders. He returned ten years later as coach. He won no less than 12 titles, but a bad season and a strong argument with Joan Gaspart ended with his dismissal before the end of the League. His temperament worked against him.
The most significant case, since the best player in the history of football became an emblem of Barcelona and probably the most important footballer in its history. He left the club in 2021, after 21 years wearing the Barça shirt, against his will. Although he already had a pre-agreement with his longtime club, the entity “had no salary margin” after the management of former president Bartomeu, so the “10” had to leave for PSG. We are all living through a very difficult time.
