Abidal faces this summer his penultimate test at Barça

The FC Barcelona carries months preparing the market of signings, that the coronavirus has turned into a period even more decisive. In the City Condal had programmed a deep and ambitious reform of the staff that now will have to make with more skill in the dispatches, because of a budget reduced and to a mass salarial threatening. Besides, the environment inside the club is not the most suitable.

As 'Sportive World', Éric Abidal will go back to come under scrutiny, by his position like technical secretary and by some recent events. The stage of the French in the sportive organisation chart started of promising form, but the records in the registers of sales and a planning that seemed ilusionante have left step to too many frictions and to a loss of confidence that can be fatal.

The quoted half glides that the fact of not accompanying to Josep Maria Bartomeu in the visit of the past weekend to a training is significant. Beside the president was the General Director of the entity, Òscar Grau, but no an ex footballer whose functions, precisely, include to tend bridges between the directive and the changing room. First it fell the mánager general Pep Safe by discussions and errors, and afterwards...

His figure has remained very touched by his brush with the staff, customised in an answer of Leo Messi. The captain heaved the voice because it did not like him at all that his excompañero will plant, evidently and in front of the media, to the cracks like culprits of the dismissal of Ernesto Valverde. The leader explained that there was some that were not giving it all and that the wear had happened bill, and the Argentinian retorted him that no andara with indictments and that procured to wash the dirty cloths home to avoid the fire that came afterwards. Neither it happened unobserved his crash with Xavi Hernández, that recognised to have received an offer to substitute to the Txingurri that the Frenchman denied.

But the questions of club are not the only that loom to the of Saint-Genis-Laval, signalled also by a deficient planning. So much the own Valverde like Quique Setién have warned that they do not take decisions and limit to think on what offers them , something that already has generated some suspicacias. But between the bets fallidas, stands out the past wintry window, in which there was not answer to the problems of the forward, fell Luis Suárez and Ousmane Dembélé, it was necessary to run to draft to Martin Braithwaite and the Cantabrian has admitted that when arriving already knew that Jean-Clair Todibo and Carles Aleñá were yielded and that to Carles Pérez also habia that say him goodbye.

The goodbye of Abidal is more near

The reconstruction of the first team still is in hands of Abidal, whose goodbye could fix in 2020 or 2021. For the moment, it will follow struggling by Lautaro, Pjanic or Neymar, but is for seeing if this is his penultimate examination or the wintry window no longer will be to his charge. What seems clear is that, with some elections in sight, his route will not be much longer, and more knowing that, as it warns 'Sportive World', his incorporation produced after the refusal of Jordi Cruyff and Carles Puyol.
