Obviously the word is not failure, but we must begin to see it as an important step backwards. Last year there was the excuse of the squad and having taken over the team in the middle of the season, but this year he has had the whole summer to plan and configure his players. In addition, the club has fulfilled practically all its wishes in the summer market.
Economically and sportingly, Barça could not afford not to win against Inter yesterday. It is a question of a rival, a priori, inferior to the Catalans, who is not going through a good moment in his league championship, but who had been able to break those from Barcelona a week ago.
Barça approached last night’s game as if from minute one they were in the discount of a game in which they need to score a goal to qualify for the next round, and that’s the coach’s fault. It can be seen as over-motivation or a lack of understanding of the situation. Barça only had to win the game, at their stadium and against a rival that has a worse team, and until yesterday we would have said that they also have a worse coach.
It is evident that we are not going to talk about the absolute failure of the Xavi project or ask for his head for yesterday’s match, but it is totally true that this edition of the Champions League has disappointed each and every one of the Catalans.
It’s not just the coach’s fault, but it can’t be blamed on injuries either, because within a season you have to expect that not all the players are going to be healthy for the 365 days of the year.
There are many footballers who should have stepped aside a long time ago, because yesterday it was shown that they are not up to these trots. Young people can’t sing victory either because they haven’t yet taken the expected step forward. Namely, Not even the experienced ones know how to leave when it’s their turn, nor do the youngsters want to take the baton of the team.. Well, that, an absolute disaster, not a failure.
