It has determined that it is the responsible maximum of the sportive crisis by which cross the culés and that the most favourable is that he of a step at the side. It announced it after the defeat against the Villarreal, in press conference, before warning him to the staff, that has remained 'sunk' by the decision of the egarense.

This Sunday, in the return to the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper for the session of recovery after the varapalo against the 'yellow submarine', produced two 'meetings' in the changing room in which Xavi Hernández and Joan Laporta have taken the word to give explanations, justify and, finally, define the leaf of route for the next four months. It is not a secret for anybody that the situation in LaLiga is complicated -to eleven points of distance of the leadership- and that the team would have to give an important jump of quality to compete in the Champions League, but do not want to remain without trying it.

The trainer egarense has had to expose the reasons that have carried him to take the decision to abandon the ship after two years and half. It does not want to be a problem for the Barça and understands that it can not be the one who 'solve' the problems that drags the club.

They have been many the curves that have confronted, but the players remain with the vicinity of the trainer of Terrassa, the support inagotable and the confidence showed at all times. Besides, the captain insisted in that the players also are 'culprits' of what is happening, a message that already had entonado Frenkie of Jong, Joao Cancel or Ronald Araújo after the crash in front of the Villarreal.

It has been the beginning of the end for the Barça of Xavi, but has asked that it keep the illusion in the next four months and that insist in competing and litigate by the trophies that remain in dispute, although right now it sound like something descabellado by the crisis of results. It was a message that repeated Joan Laporta after the training, accompanied by the 'heavy weights' of the club: Rafa Yuste, Deco, Soler, Bojan, Echevarría and Masip.
