FC Barcelona visited the Vallecas stadium knowing that it was going to get into the mouth of the wolf. Rayo Vallecano has not let any of its prey leave its stadium alive and Barça was not going to be an exception. The one in charge of delivering the fatal stab to the Catalans, and to Koeman, was an old acquaintance Radamel Falcao. That was the fifth goal that El Tigre had scored against Barcelona and it helped him get his first victory. And seeing the voracity and the scorer’s nose for the Colombian, I’m sure that many Catalans are asking the same question: why didn’t they sign Falcao?
On the last day of the market, beyond the horn, the arrival of Luuk de Jong at the Camp Nou was announced. A signing prepared and desired by Ronald Koeman and that has managed to drive the fans of the Barcelona fan crazy in just eleven days. What is most annoying is not only seeing that your 9 is fighting with the goal, but also that teams that teams like Betis, Valencia or Rayo have more offensive potential than you, and what is worse, that you were able to sign one of those forwards.
Yes, because Falcao until September 4 when he joined Rayo Vallecano was a free player who could negotiate his future with any club. Unlike other players, the Colombian had already shown his offensive potential in LaLiga. And with the season already started this sounds advantageous, but Barcelona would have fared better if he signed Falcao instead of De Jong … or even both. And there is no better proof of this than a goal by the Colombian has been the last straw and has taken Koeman ahead, and also Barcelona is already trying to place the Dutch forward in the next winter market.
This Barça is not exactly a team that has plenty of goals, without Leo Messi and without Antoine Griezmann it has lost half, and definitely letting the French out so that in the end De Jong would arrive has not been a good deal either for the team or for the player. Perhaps far from the Camp Nou he can start scoring those goals that are resisting him here, but in the meantime the one that is harmed from everything is Barcelona.
