Ronald Koeman has tried and done many things well in his time at Barça, but he has not quite managed to hit the mark. The draw against Levante, which leaves the Catalans without a League, was more than predictable taking into account the antecedents

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Ronald Koeman has done a lot of things well since it arrived to the FC Barcelona and anybody goes to be able to remove him this. The Dutch knew reconducir to a team sunk that took after the goleada more painful of the history of the club, the 2-8 against the Bayern of Munich. With work and a lot of patience, the Dutch went back to do a Barça competitive that went back to transmit good feelings in a lot of parties and that even carried the Glass of Rey.

Besides, the one of Zaandam bet by several young promises like Pedri, Óscar Mingueza, Ronald Araújo, Ilaix Moriba or of course Ansu Fati, that before the injury was being indisputable. Also it has known to take out the best version of Ousmane Dembélé and approach to Antoine Griezmann to his. And of course, to the margin of all this, also had 'fault' in the reconciliation of Leo Messi with the Barça after his attempt of escape veraniega.

It fits to add also that the Dutch trainer achieved to do all this without any signing, since it did not arrive any of the players that asked, and with a critical institutional situation. The wrap with Josep Maria Bartomeu, his resignation, the months without president, the economic crisis... With everything in his against, the ex seleccionador of Holland attained to do all the mentioned carrying a title and competing LaLiga until almost the end of season.

However, in spite of all this, Koeman has remained short and has not given the size like technician on which build a new project. The tie against the Raise, that leaves to the blaugrana almost without League, could say that it is alone 'The chronicle of a death announced', in this case the one of the Barcelona of the míster Dutch. Because this 'trip' in the less indicated moment is not something that pille by surprise, since it has occurred several times this course.

Except the parties of Glass, which the Barcelona, in spite of suffering, knew to carry out until heaving the trophy, in all the other crashes to 'life or death' of the campaign has not been to the height. It lost against the Real Madrid in the gone and in the turn in League; it fell in front of the Athletic in the gone and empató does some days in the 'final' of the turn; it lost the Supercopa of Spain; it did not win to the Granada neither to the Raise when more lacking did to be able to win LaLiga; the PSG goleó in the Camp Nou in Champions...

Koeman Seems to have fulfilled a cycle

In definite, in all the 'final' that there has been less in the one of Glass, the Barça has not given the level and Koeman has not known to give with the key. Against the Raise, besides, the Dutch did perhaps his worst reading of party and went the most distinguished of the 'prick' by his changes and decisions after the rest. A bitter 'close' of League that could cost him the place of face to the course that comes, since it gives the feeling to having fulfilled a cycle. Joan Laporta will have the last word, but for misfortune of Ronald, he surely also was conscious that this only has been 'The chronicle of a death announced'.
