The Barça concerns: the worst start in League in 33 years

If the defeat of the FC Barcelona in front of the Cádiz is not an urgent call to take action, then at all can change to the team. The Barça showed his worst weaknesses and returned the ghosts that the culés drag from does a pair of years. If it does not achieve an immediate solution, the fight by the titles will be very slope up, but is that impossible. The registers in this season, in LaLiga, are catastrophic and it is necessary to trace back until the campaign of 1987-1988 to find numbers more alarming.

The Barça occupies at present the ninth position of the classification, to twelve points of the leader. In ten clashes, has registered four victories, two ties and four defeats, numbers that historically are not common for the Catalans. In the past course, with Ernesto Valverde and Quique Setién in the bench, registered (in the 38 days) six defeats in total. Now, with hardly ten dates, the situation is more than alarming, because the team has left 16 points on the way.

The position in the table is so worrisome as it is it the exert of the team. In front of the Cádiz, Alavés or Athletic of Madrid, the Barcelona left that childish errors of the defence defined the meeting. Besides, the little capacity of reaction of the team, especially in Wanda Metropolitan and Ramón of Carranza, is alarming. The team, that has one of the most important staff of all Europe, finds lost when the rivals keep firm his defensive line, like this the Barça dominate the party.

The situation can be revertible if the changes do immediately, but is true that will not be very simple by the tightened of the calendar and the constant injuries. However, it does not finish to be an excuse so that the team do not finish of despegar in the domestic competition. It is necessary to retreat until 33 years ago (when Messi were three years old or Gerard Hammered six months of life) to find a worse register of the culés in the competition. In the season 1987/88, in the first ten dates, the team had added 13 points, with four victories, a tie and five defeats.

Which will be the consequences?

In the season 1987/1988, with Josep Lluís Núñez in the presidency of the team, the consequences were notorious. In the fourth day of the competition, after three defeats and a victory, Terry Venables was destituido of his charge. Luis Aragonese was the replacement but little could do. The Barcelona, in that moment, finished the competition in the sixth position of the table. Something that to day of today is unthinkable.

However, the situation of now is very different and much more complicated. The club does not have president, after the resignation of Josep María Bartomeu, and the Managing Commission (to less than that Carles Tusquets say the contrary) does not have the authority of destituir to Ronald Koeman, by what in theory the Dutch technician has his charge ensured until June of the next year. Although, with the elections to finals of the month of January, if the team is still in free fall, the situation can change.
