THE LIST OF REASONS
The controversies that kept Grimaldo away from Barça's plans
Grimaldo is being one of the most positive developments for Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen, who are 'wondering' in the Bundesliga. He could have been a star at FC Barcelona, but there were many reasons that prevented him from doing so.
The Bayer Leverkusen of Xabi Alonso is in way imparable and keeps , with the Nice, like the only team of the five big Leagues of Europe that still do not know the victory. They are leaving an image more than positive and 'hopeful' to finish with the command of the Bayern of Munich in Germany, although it still is very soon to dictate sentence. Alejandro Grimaldo is being one of the protagonists of the team and has confirmed his 'status' as one of the stars from the left band.
It has been one of the players more talentosos that has exported The Masia, without place to doubts, and causes that it arrive the cuestionamiento constant on why could not triumph neither settle in the first team. The Barça has been still in him his adventure in the Benfica and Leverkusen, but like him same has confessed, anybody has proposed him go back in any moment: "Always I have said that the Barça was a club to the that could go back.... Or it was that it would like me go back because it is the Barça. At the end I grew here like player and very happy to having been in his quarry. But the truth is that the Barça did not show interest in me", said recently.
The statements that 'buried' to Grimaldo
The true is that, as a result of these statements, has desempolvado a list with the possible reasons by which Grimaldo finish abandoning the City Condal and could not settle in the first team. And it is that, eight years ago, the player left some incendiary statements against the trainer of the first team, Luis Enrique, that began to truncate his relation with the technical body and also with the club, in general. From there, all was in free fall.
"Never it has said me at all. I have not had any contact with him. Neither I have at all that speak with him. I work with my míster. I carry me very well with him, it helps me in everything and helps me to be better. That the one of up was with his players and I will be with my team", had said in some statements to 'RAC1'. As they remember from 'SPORT', the words did a lot noise because, in this moment treated of a player of the filial and it tildaban of atrevimiento, but was answer of his character, that always has been very strong.
Competition... And doubts with his character?
In spite of this, from the inferior categories always recognised that it was one of the players more talentosos and that more potential had to go up to the first team. However, taenia against that Jordi Alba was in his best moment and was indisputable. There was not player that could seat him in the bench and Grimaldo neither wanted to be an acting by always. It wanted leadership and in the Barça could not achieve it.
It is thus that was not a surprise when, six months before it finalised his agreement, did his cases to go . In the Barça did not put resistance (neither had offered him a renewal), by what was a very friendly and free exit of controversies. In the technical area, although they saw him a lot potential, was not convinced with his profile, mainly by his strong character and several controversial extradeportivas.
