The FC Barcelona turned into protagonist in the market of signings of winter, in which it said goodbye to Ernesto Valverde. The Catalans aimed to be news in January by his movements in the staff, although finally coparon carried by the earthquake that produced after the Supercopa of Spain. To his return of Saudi Arabia initiated a spiral of rumours that finish with an unexpected relief in the bench.
The defeat against the Athletic of Madrid was the drop that satisfied the glass, and caused an immediate reaction of the Barcelona. Several sources revealed that an expedition formed by two figures of weight in the planning had travelled to Qatar, where was tanteando to Xavi Hernández to know his immediate availability. Some days afterwards, the egarense said 'no', and the situation did not do more than complicating .
When the club had to have warmed up to protect to his, exploded a pressure mediática that finish in dismissal. There was summit with the ex of the Athletic Club and also in the Managerial Board, gone on down the minute-by-minute press and expecting official communiqués. In this period committed several grave errors, and it would be necessary to take good note not to go back to repeat them. The future is at stake.
The errors of management of the Barça
The team is not so bad
After several months with an irregular path, remains clear that the Barça is not well, but seems evident that is not so bad. In spite of that it is true that some chispazos of quality have saved him, also is it that the results kept like a good guarantee. Disaster had been to leave go in LaLiga and/or not surpassing the phase of groups of the Champions, but before beginning the Glass of Rey, the culés share the first square with the Real Madrid and will confront to the Napoli in the eliminatory of eighth. They are in the career by the triplete.
The Supercopa was not disastrous
The Barça of Valverde has had bad parties, but the true is that in the Supercopa only him sobraron ten minutes. During 80 it gave a bathroom to an Athletic very shy and attained trace back the so much of Koke, and only the punctual errors in defence did to be shipwrecked to an applicant that already saw in the final. It is true that this is equally reprochable, but also fits to underline the mejoría in the game and the feelings.
The spare, in bad moment
The spare arrives in the worst possible moment, because it leaves in bad place to the that goes , and in an uncomfortable position to the that arrives. Varied of the technicians to which considered favourites would have descartado the opportunity barcelonista because it arrives to all haste, to half of course and when they still have commitments with his current projects, case that reflect the own Xavi or Ronald Koeman with obligations in Holland.
Besides, it was the one who was the one who land in the City Condal, has an important paper to resolve, because it has to fix all the 'broken' without time to know to the changing room, to adjust the system to his personal tastes and without the option to give too many high and drops in the market. A lot of had said that 'himself' in summer without thinking it twice, but to arrive to this project, will have to surpass a full challenge of cheats.
Free road to the circus mediático
In a moment in which it touched to armour and ask calm, the Barça collaborated with a circus mediático that has not been able to brake. Although it was difficult, had been well be something more discreet in his scores, and avoid surprises like which supposed that it mentioned between the candidates to the bench to a Mauritius Pochettino that it refused him in several occasions. Many think that was luck that José Mourinho was tied, because if no, had sounded also.
The ideal, although it is for seeing the explanations that still are missing, had been to expect to June, because any decision taken -included the no renewal that had to evaluate the directive on the one hand and Valverde by another-, had been a lot of less impactante. To having had patience, had been able to certify a relief without pressures and without tension, and now exists a bomb of watchmaking that is for seeing if it will be able to desactivar.
Valverde, little protected
It like more or less his work, does not be necessary obviar that Valverde has given the face by the club, and remains the feeling that it put him in the centre of the target. After collecting to the staff of the floor when it went Neymar, turn it into a solid block and win titles in full stage of transition, has turned away him , and is not the only guilty of a bajón that it is necessary to remedy. With you reproach or without them, the Txingurri sacks with 97 victories, 32 ties and 16 defeats in two years and half, and with two Leagues, a Glass of Rey and a Supercopa of Spain in his have.
